Hi Dan,

Thank you so very much for the gigs calendar. It’s almost perfect for a local arts school web site I’m working on.

They really love the calendar, but I’m wondering if there is a way to get it to sort by time properly? Please see: http://www.silverrayn.com/da/arts/performance-calendar/

Notice that there are three test events entered. The dates sort perfectly, and most of the times do as well. However, notice this glitch which I am unable to resolve.

The listing, sorted by date, then event time look like:

06/10/08 8:00pm Running in Circles DA Recital Hall
06/13/08 11:30am Test item 2 DA Theatre
06/13/08 7:30pm TEst Item 3 DA Theatre
06/13/08 9:00am Test item 1 DA Theatre

Notice how the last entry, the 9am event, doesn’t sort itself in front of the 11:30am event. It almost looks like it is sorting by text instead of numbers in the time field.

Any recommendations on how to fix this? I’m game for suggestions.

Thank you again for your time and effort on this plug-in. You are appreciated!

-Kimberly

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the great plug in. I would like to know if you could specialize it for me a bit. I would like to place gigs for different bands and that I could use this calendar in our common website and on the different artists website so we should filter the concerts in different ways. Would this be possible and what would be the costst?
Greetings
Tony

is there a way to add the gig upcoming events? i’m currently customizing a page and would like to put an upcoming gig in one column.

Hi Dan! Thanks for the great work on this plugin!

I’m setting up Gig Calendar for the first time ever and I’m getting a weird glitch. The first show listed is appearing twice… once in the first slot where it should be and then again at the end of the list. The next date to get added does not have this glitch.

Here’s the direct link:

@Grant,

Blast! Thanks for the info. I’ll fix that in SVN.

Hi. Just wanted you to know that I discovered there is a semi-colon missing in the table.sql file that prevented me from importing it correctly. it’s at the end of the gigs_tour table section.

Love the plug in. Got it set up tonight and all populated!

Thanks!

@William,

You cannot display both the archives and the current gigs on the same page prior to 0.3. You’ll need to upgrade. I should hope that you don’t lose any of your gigs by upgrading, but I don’t offer any warranty on that . Backups are always good!

Welcome Back Dan! Thanks for the quick examples. That makes a lot of sense! I’ll let you know how it turns out. Have a good one!

Is there a way to display both archived and current gigs on the same page? I tried that tag listed above but it doesn’t work for me – I have an older version of the gig plugin – could this be why? Will I lose all my current gigs if I upgrade?

Ok. I’ll put together some more official documentation later, but here’s how you do the custom stuff.

All you have to do to insert a custom table somewhere is to put a little tag in your post or page.

Here are some examples:

[gig-cal limit=5] – This will show the next five gigs

[gig-cal archive] – Generates the archive table

[gig-cal tour=1] – Shows the upcoming gigs in the tour with an ID of 1 (check your Tour page to find the IDs).

There are some more options, but I have to get ready to go to the National Gallery in a little while, so I won’t bother to look them up.
