In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Recurring events is brokenPlugin activates and generally appears to work without any error.
However whilst the UI for setting up a recurring event for (say) the 4th Monday of the month does not do this, but instead just creates a recurring event on the same date every month. For example if I set up every 4th Monday on e Month starting 22June Then look at the event calendar I have the initial event for Monday 22 June but the next one is on Wednesday 22 July, instead of Monday 27 July.
If it is also not possible to set up exceptions. The UI displays inappropriate options, but there are no errors.

In reply to: [Fetch Tweets] Empty Sidebar WIdgetDon’t know – whatever the plugin/widget defaults to. I have moved on to other possible widgets so right now it is not installed so I cannot recheck.
I may come back to this one depending on feedback from my peers – others tend to be about displaying an account – which I like, but maybe we might prefer to display any tweet to/from @handle.

In reply to: [Fetch Tweets] Empty Sidebar WIdgetOK – some progress – but the answer is Yes and no.
If I create a timeline rule then yes – and that does turn up in the sidebar – although a scrollbar appears on the right despite the widget being long enough and if I move it the entire contents toggles between visible/not visible.
I tried some other rules but to no avail – I was just trying to show all the tweets that were sent from my account or mentions my account, so I thought a Search would work, with the search keyword as “@myhandle” – but view just says “No result could be fetched.”
I found that if I omit the @ then I get results – but my handle has an underscore in it and it seems to treat that as a word separate and looks for either of the 2 words in myhandle.
Which rule should I use to simple get any tweet “to” (a mention) or from my twitter account.

In reply to: [Media Library Assistant] Gallery Title or CaptionIts been about a year since we last had contact to be honest I am only now just getting back round to trying to use your mla_gallery…and seemingly to good effect – but I have yet to try the date format side of things out again yet.
I had not picked up on the “query” capability – so your suggestion was exactly what I was looking for – thanks. I now have a simple HTML table template which I use in several places to show different categories of documents in date order, but am able to specify the HTML table heading appropriate to the page I am putting it on via the shortcode.
Something I was starting to look at – but I think I mistook it for something else, was pagination. I was trying to understand whether I can have a template include previous/next pagination and when clicked the HTML table refreshes with the next/previous content and not the page as a whole (DHTML style). I don’t think this is what the pagination is doing though?
I was hoping to have a table with the most recent 12 documents and allow the user to page through the gallery within the page (like a user control in the page).
Thanks

In reply to: [Register Plus Redux] Admin & User Email Notifications Not SendingI would like to add that I did eventually receive the emails – but an hour or two after the admin email.
Why would the user’s ‘verification email’ be so delayed compared to the admin’s ‘new user registered’ email?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Register Plus Redux] Admin & User Email Notifications Not SendingI have something similar – I just installed the plugin and configured it to verify email address.
I registered a test user and fairly promptly got the admin email and just as I was thinking the user email was not going to arrived, it did (much later than the admin one).
So – first query is – why such a delay when I would have thought they would have gone at the same time?
Secondly, the user email didn’t show the link hyperlinked – but if I edit email with a carriage return it turns into a link – so I thought I would edit the email by selecting custom email and all I did was put a carriage return after the verification link and then I registered another user (I also set admin to customised too).
I still got the admin one fairly promptly (and customised) but this time no user mail at all.

In reply to: [Media Library Assistant] Getting NoWhere…I Must Be Doing Something WrongUpdate – I am creating a template (using table HTML mainly)…so it is taking shape. I have added Custom Fields from plugin “Advanced Custom Fields” and they are turning up vis “custom:” prefix.
Now I wish to format the custom field data…it is a date, stored as ISO (e.g. 2013-03-25) – but how do I include processing inctructions with the template?
I tried popping <?php…?> but the template uses those characters literally? e.g.<?php date(‘F j, Y’, strtotime([+custom:media_date+])); ?>
May I should be doing it this way?

In reply to: [Media Library Assistant] Getting NoWhere…I Must Be Doing Something WrongAha – is it working – thanks. Your were right the media was not attached, just generally in the library.
At the moment I am feeling overwhelmed with all the options and whilst I do develop software I am new to WordPress and web work is not my thing, so creating new templates is something I am initially hoping to avoid.
Whilst I don’t wish to take up your time if you can guide me to the best approach that would be useful.
My initial needs are to present minutes for meetings. I want ‘people’ to be able to upload the minutes to the media library, categorise them (so let say ‘minutes’ and ‘youth-club’, but there could be minutes for many other groups too, hence why I like your tax_operator=”AND”).
So – all the above I believe I can do.
My next step is presenting them: I want to put each document on a separate line a bit like a table/grid with a number of columns showing (probably) caption, date (date entered by uploader, not date of upload, i.e. the date of the meeting the minutes were for, so this might be a custom field) and maybe other stuff.
I suspect I may need to look at creating markup template to achieve my presentation, but I am not sure whether there is an out of the box ‘column, row’ option and how I might define where to get the data for the cells from…and if there are many documents offer a ‘next, previous’ set of links.
I know – I don’t want much – but just confirmation there is no ‘out of the box’ solution and the fact I need to use a template would be good feedback.
Thanks
