In reply to: [Event Organiser] Events PageSorry, I am still not finding how to set the display order of the events?

In reply to: [Event Organiser] Events PageExcept for the bullets, I managed to hammer out a close facsimile of how the archive page displays the list.
[eo_events no_events="Sorry, there are no current or upcoming events posted." showpastevents=false] <h2 class="eo-event-title entry-title"><a href="%event_url%">%event_title%</a></h2> <div class="eo-event-date" style="font-style: italic;">%schedule_start{jS F Y}{ g:ia}%</div> <div class="eo-event-details event-entry-meta" style="padding: 10px; float:left;">%event_thumbnail%</div> <div class="eo-event-content" itemprop="description" style="padding: 10px 0 0 0;">%event_excerpt%</div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> [/eo_events]However I am back to the original question; How do you set the display order of the events? I want to set order by event date/time of occurrence and whether it will be ascending or descending.
I am having difficulties finding it in the documentation.

In reply to: [Event Organiser] Events PageAfter further exploration, I see that the events page is really an Events Archive page.
So I created a Events Page and added a basic short code, however the results look nothing like the results for the Archive page. The Archive page is perfect (thumbnails, formatted title, date/time and excerpt), is there a way to tell the short code to use that format (again without editing files)?
Just touching base on how it’s going with the region/district field? My project is currently at a standstill until I know if and how you are going to implement the extra field.
» Because this kind of deviates from the original topic, should I start a new topic (or can you split this thread in this forum)?
Recap:
- Because you already have a region field for province/state, as I suggested earlier that this new field should be called district.
- Admins could use the ‘Say What’ plugin to relabel it to whatever they need it to be (unless you implement a way for admins to relabel the fields in your plugin).
- Placement would likely be just after the City field before the province/state field. ex:
Dryden
Northwest
Ontario - Suggesed it to work/behave just like the province field (available selection based on selected province/state just like province/state available selection based on Country).
Again thank you for your continued work on this great plugin.

In reply to: [BP Profile Search] Text Search ModeNot a bad idea, but it poses a problem: when the search text contains, say, both * and %, which is the wildcard and which a normal character?
I can see ‘%’ being used as a normal character more than ‘*’, however it is unlikely either would be used as normal characters. Alphanumerical characters usually are the only thing searched for (words or patterns, not punctuation or symbols). Even if one or the other or all (* % ? _) were in the search, they should be treated as wildcard characters.
And by the way, users (admins) don’t have to research, they can simply use the Help tab in the upper right of the Edit Form screen.
Yes I was referring to front-end users (general public).
As for the normal, front-end users, if site owners offer a search form with Text Search Mode set to is like, I think it’s up to them to explain the feature to their users, as they see fit.
Anything designed for use by the general public that has to be explained in order to be used by the general public is considered poor design. And yes I’m guilty of that from time to time, though I try to minimize it.
That said, we could debate this on and on. I was just suggesting making your search in your plugin a little more idiot proof by including more common wildcard characters.
I will leave it at that and thank you for your views and explanations on this topic.
Thank you for your response.
I was suggesting making an ‘Account’ editable form like you have for the Register, Login, and Profile form (not sure from your response if that is what you perceived).
Again this would make it so I don’t have to have any users in the back-end/administration areas of my site (and remove the admin bar for non-admins altogether). Also this would exponentially increase the possibilities and options for the administrator to customize their site to their needs with the bonus of added security (no needed access to admin pages).

In reply to: [BP Profile Search] Text Search ModeThank you for your reply.
Instead of changing, then maybe adding the extra wildcards (* also = % and ? also = _) this would allow any type of user to use the search fields without having to research how to use wildcards with your particular plugin.

In reply to: [BP Profile Search] Hide/Exclude Selection optionsThank you for all your efforts. 🙂
OK, I guess I was having one of those brain fart days because now coming back to this I see why non-logged in users could not access this (and probably why nobody responded to this post).
On the profile form page ‘Apply custom access settings’ was set to ‘Content accessible to Logged In Users’. Why was this not obvious to me from the beginning? Probably because I thought this page was for the profile editor only and not also used to display user profiles.
So this is one of those “Don’t over think it” lessons and thanks to the community for not posting any condescending remarks on this thread.

In reply to: [BP Profile Search] Hide/Exclude Selection optionsThank you for your reply, however how do I use this?
When it comes to doing code I am a novice at best (I usually hack/fumble my way through it), would you be able to give me a little more to work with such as sample code and where to use/insert it?
‘bps_field_data_for_search_form’ appears on line 148 and 195? I assume this would identify an entire field, is there a way to target individual options within a field (selection boxes or radio buttons)? Also is there a way to target specific form IDs as I would also like to apply different filters on different search forms?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [BP Profile Search] Text Search ModeThank you for clearing that up for me.
Maybe in your next release you can use these wildcard characters * and ? to include or replace % and _ respectively (if you already have not planned that already). When doing a wildcard search * or ? are the characters I think of first.
I am thinking you are using % and _ because you are passing the search to the database directly. Allowing SQL query language in the search fields (if without a filter) could be dangerous, no?

In reply to: [Event post] Setting event date and time brokenMight I suggest instead of trying to sync with WP time zone setting, maybe set up an independent time zone setting within your plugin? ex: +/- UTC setting.
It would be better to have your plugin sync with WP time zone, however that seems to be an issue that has been going on way too long. For now we need a quick fix/patch for now.
Either way hopefully your new release will have some sort of solution to this problem.

In reply to: [WP Better Emails] Separate 'from' and ‘reply to’ fields in settingsThanks.
(back from my other job)
As for the input form, it would likely also be best just after the City field (before the province/state field). I would likely use the ‘Say What’ plugin to relabel it ‘region’.
I would suggest it to behave just like the province field (available selection based on selected province/state as province/state available selection based on Country).
Of course there should be somewhere in the back end for the admin to define what is going to be in the field selection.
We actually don’t officially use it in postal addresses, here is the best way to explain how I would be using it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwestern_Ontario
In my websites it would be a hidden field when displaying as an address, however I guess you could call it a ‘district’ field (likely be more useful to more people).
district synonyms: neighborhood, area, region, locality, locale, community, quarter, sector, zone, territory or ward.
If you were to have the field in an address I would guess it could go just after the city (ex: Washington, district of Columbia OR Dryden, district of Kenora). Maybe have an option for field placement in the back end.
