We are using Event Espresso Premium. I would like users to be able to see who is attending an event so added [LISTATTENDEES] in the event description for the event. This works fine on the events page however the shortcode doesn’t work on the calendar ([ESPRESSO_CALENDAR]), when the event is hovered on it shows [LISTATTENDEES] as a string in the description. Is there either a way to remove the shortcode from the calendar or make the shortcode work in the calendar? Thanks Alex |
Hi Alex, Adding a more tag will hide everything after it in the Calendar’s tooltip: [LISTATTENDEES] |

Thanks for the quick reply. I can’t get [LISTATTENDEES] to work on the event’s page anymore although it was working fine on Friday when I started this thread. If I do [LISTATTENDEES show_gravatar=”true”] it shows the list on the page but I want the normal [LISTATTENDEES]. Why would this shortcode have stopped working but not all? Thanks Alex |
|
Hi Alex, There should be no reason why it would stop working. Can you provide a link to the page in question. |
|
Thanks Alex |
|
I swear I put the link in… |
|
Clicking link to insert a link doesn’t work |
Hi Alex, I actually see the opposite. When hovering over the event I can see the unparsed shortcode [LISTATTENDEES] http://d.pr/i/8pRG Then when viewing the event the shortcode is parsed so you see the actual attendees http://d.pr/i/r65t Is this not what was expected? On another note when using reCAPTCHA you must register for public and private keys, then input them into the settings. http://www.google.com/recaptcha |

For some reason it looks like the CSS didn’t load when you went on the event’s page. This is what I see and cannot see a link to click and see who is attending. |
|
Looks like the CSS only loads when you are logged into the site???? I just tested it |
That’s the issue I mentioned. It is due to reCAPTCHA. reCAPTCHA is only displayed when not logged in so only causes the issue then. You need to either disabled it, or register for your keys and input them into the settings. |

Sorry my fault, I have entered public and private keys now. Could you check an event’s page again and investigate why the shortcode isn’t working please. |
The attendee list is actually loading, but your theme is hiding it using JS. attendee.js function setupAttendeeList(){ var linkTag = $att('<a/>', { 'href': '#attendee_list', 'class': 'attendee_button' }); $att(attendeeHeading).wrapInner(linkTag); attendeeList.id = 'attendee_list'; attendeeList.style.display = 'none'; setupLightbox(); } That is why it worked previous when CSS/JS couldn’t load (reCAPATCHA) |

Thanks, I have the shortcode working on the event page. Now I am back to the original problem of it saying [LISTATTENDEES] when hovering on the calendar. As suggested I have entered a more tag before the shortcode on the event as can be seen here http://oi40.tinypic.com/1zdrg4m.jpg Thanks Alex |
Hi Alex, If you go to Event Espresso -> Template settings. Make sure ‘Display short descriptions in the event listings?’ is set to ‘Yes’. |

Thanks that worked. I have noticed another problem with the calendar on the homepage where events are showing on the wrong days and if you switch forward/back months the events move to different days. Is our css making the calendar display incorrectly? http://www.poolerunners.org username: example password: example Thanks Alex |
Hi Alex, The version of the calendar that’s in the pre-release channel fixes an issue with events not rendering in the correct location. That may be part of the solution. The theme’s CSS looks like it’s cropping off the bottom of the calendar by setting the height of the calendar to 455px. This ends up hiding the bottom two weeks of the calendar. Here’s the part of the theme’s stylesheet that looks to be part of the issue: .Calendar{ max-width: 990px; height: 455px; /* temp */ /*background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);*/ /* temp */ } |

I am having trouble using this new calendar. Using the shortcode on our Club Info -> Membership page the calendar loads perfectly however the calendar on the homepage is failing to load. The calendar appears in the markup but the calendar is not displaying. Thanks Alex |
