   Hiya Anmari

   I'm using your free WP plugin and I love it!

   [I posted this on the Wordpress support forum, but I'm not sure if you reply there. So apologies for the double post!]

   First question: how can I remove multi-day events from an event list after their start date? I'm using the iCal code, and it display multi-day events that started yesterday (have a look at http://www.strobed.com.au).

   Second question: when an event comes from Google Calendar ICS it does not have a URL. I want to add a URL in the description field that will be parsed on import. E.G. In the description I would write myurl[www.testing.com] and it would be used if there was no URL.

   I have implemented this (poorly) by editing amr_make_excerpt_from_description($e) to pull out the URL and displaying the excerpt (which is now my custom URL). As you can see this is not a great solution!

   Third question: it appears that multi-day events don't have a StartTime. E.g. an event that starts Monday 1800 and goes until Friday 1800 - there is not a StartTime. Is this a bug?

   Thanks. Your plugin has saved me - I no longer have to rely on Google Calendar SLOWLY refreshing external ICS feeds. Yay!

   James.

   RE: In progres (ie multi day)

   Formal doc not yet updated, possibility to exclude in progress was added recently:

   See http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-amr-ical-events-lists-exclude-in-progress-events-from-event-list

   and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/amr-ical-events-list/changelog/

   In shortcode:

   exclude_in_progress=1

   to exclude events that may be in progress across chose start date ie: they started before chosen startdate. By default these show as their end date is after the chosen start date

   RE: url - if always same default url functionality exists for that too, to assign a default url. See http://icalevents.com/1365-ical-events-and-default-urls-for-the-widget/

   RE: start time - all events always have a start time, unless all day events - check you have picked up "event time" field (this is different from start time - that relates to first instance of recurring sequence.

   Also check your date and time formats in settings, so that time is actually being formatted - no time format, nothing will show.

   Anmari - thanks for your reply!

   RE: exlude_in_progress - works well. Unfortunately I have limited my events to 12 and when I use exclude_in_progress the count includes all events.

   RE: url - unfortunately it is not ever the same URL. Any ideas?

   RE: start time - I can't find an "Event Time" when cofiguring my list types.

   Hi,

   re: exclude ... no reason why it should do that. the parameters are not related. please double check - are you sure that it is not just doing 'more' events because the excluded ones have fallen away, so others get included

   re: url... sorry sounds very much like a custom requirement, for which I'd have to charge - you should be able to achieve what you want with the filters and pluggable functions if you have someone with php and wp skills. http://icalevents.com/documentation/filters-and-pluggable-functions/

   re start time, sorry just checked it is called start time not event time, and it does work. See http://test.icalevents.com/agenda/. So check your date and time formats in settings, so that time is actually being formatted - no time format, nothing will show.
