Hi
I just made a page and put the calendar shortcode on it. Strangely it appears in an iframe. Any ideas why this should be?
I have the same site locally on a testing server and when I paste the same code locally the calendar displays as it should ( it fills the page and isn’t in an iframe). It’s only when I do it to the live site that it displays strangely.
Clearly there is some difference but I don’t know where to start. The css files are identical and so to the php (famous last words). I’ve tried disabling all plug-ins (there was only one) and that didn’t change anything.
But I did notice there is a difference when viewing the source. In the one that’s displaying in an iframe the calendar is wrapped in “ tags. In the one that displays nicely there are no such tags.
Why might the calendar be wrapped in these tags in one but not the other? And, more to the point, how can I get rid of them in the online version?
Hope you can help
cheers

Hi John,
The forum here tends to strip html from none admins, so I am guessing a bit in that the calendar was wrapped in <p> tags?
Have you tested it with the Twentyeleven (or Twentytwelve) default theme? It sounds to me like the theme is causing an issue with the script for some reason.
If the calender works fine with the default theme you can try wrapping the calendar shortcode in raw tags, e.g.
[raw][ESPRESSO_CALENDAR][/raw]

Hi dean
No not “p” tags but “pre” tags.
And the strange thing is that on my local testing server which uses the same theme as I use online the calendar displays fine.
I saw the “raw” wrapping suggestion the other day while browsing the forum and tried it but it made no difference.
In another mail I suggested mailing over user login info so you can get on the site and have a look.
Let me know if you have time
Cheers john

Hi Dean
Just a quick one to say I just tried a few themes ( twentyeleven and twentytwelve) and the calendar persists in the iframe.
Cheers

Hi John,
Can you send FTP credentials in the same way you sent login details please? I want to look at the theme but need FTP access to get at the functions as they are in a sub folder.
Cheers

Hi,
OK this isn’t a fix, but a workaround.
Add this to your themes style.css
pre { height: 100%; }
That will work as it extends the height of the code box which the calendar is in. It shouldnt affect anywhere else on the site as I saw nothing else wrapped in pre. Still not sure where it came from though

Hi Dean
I have done this and it doesn’t work as it turns out that themeroller-base.css (which is taking precedence here) does some styling of “pre” tags .It is what has been setting the height at 200px!
Getting rid of that setting (obviously) makes the calendar occupy the right amount of space but it’s still in an ugly iframe!-(
Have you got any further in identifying what might be generating the “pre” tags?

Hi Dean
a quick update. Turns out there’s loads of styling on the “pre” tag. Some comes from my themes parent style sheet, and some from themeroller-base. I’ve disabled all of it so the calendar now looks normal but I’m still intrigued as to what is causing the calendar to be wrapped in the tags in the first place.
cheers

Hi Dean
I was just doing a bit of tweaking on the calendar now that it displays properly and noticed that the text in the event boxes doesn’t wrap. Here’s a screen shot.

I’m assuming that this will have something to do with the still unexplained “pre” tags wrapping the calendar? Or perhaps it’s something else?
Anyway I thought I’d share as it may help identify the root of the problem.
cheers
John

Hi John,
There is a simple explanation for the pre tags wrapped around the calendar: There are pre tags wrapped around the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode in the editor. Can you try editing the calendar page, switch to Text view, and remove the pre tags and update the page?
