Eventify – An Event management plugin for wordpress.
Current Version: 1.7.a
Eventify is the first of my many to come, wordpress plugin(s). I developed it for DouleDesigns.com, they were looking for a plugin that would do the job of showing up coming events and was easy to mange and install.
With Eventify:
1. One can edit the CSS for the popups to virtually anything!
2. Display next “n” events or Display events happening in the next “n” days.
3. Widget uses plain javascript and does not interefere with any other scripts loaded e.g. jquery, etc.
4. Bulk upload events into the database using excel csv format. *Please view the [how to video](http://designerfoo.com/custom-wordpress-development) first – which is a little outdated just note there are 6 columns now in the order of title, date, time, desc, venue, event timezone*.
5. You can show events as popups or as wordpress posts.
6. Use [eventifytag] anywhere in POST/Text Widget/PAGE to display the list of upcoming events.
7. Back up all your events and restore anytime How To Video
**Tag Usage**
To display events as list on a page/post/text widget use the following shortcode
[eventifytag displaytype="events" displayno="1"]
displaytype can be either “events” or “days” and displayno has to be a valid number.
If you set the displaytype as “events” – Next *n* number of events will be listed. This number is set using the “displayno” parameter.
If you set the displaytype as “days” – Events occuring in the next *n* days will be listed. This number is set using the “displayno” parameter.
Loading ...Your donations do go a long way, it makes me want to develop more and develop better, for you. I also have a donors wall, where you can opt to be listed as a donor 
Thank you for your support and have a nice day!
If you like the plugin and would like me to work on it more.., buy me a beer ..

How-to, display an google styled event calendar with eventify.
Bulk Upload How-to
Please Note: Now there are five fields instead of four and all the five have to be there while uploading using CSV. Fields should be in this order -> Event Title, Event Date, Event Time, Event Desc, Event Venue & Event Time Zone ->This order only. Rest everything remains the same as the video above.

Can I mail you the screenshots? Currently working on the iCal and additional field options.
Hey, I have been trying to add the calendar to my website on this page http://www.montereyski.org/calendar/ in a format like [eventifycalbig] but nothing shows us at all. The [eventifytag displaytype="events" displayno="1"] works fine and shows the list of events, but when I click on events nothing happens. Can you please advice? I have also added it as a widget and it works perfectly in there but not on my page.
Thanks is advance!
Can I have look? What version of Eventify are you using? I tried the link above, it gave me a 404.
hi,
Nice plugin, i want to use this plugin with ‘MapPress’ plugin which is for Google map, on event list page i want that when i add an event the event location automatically mark on map, is there such functionality in this plugin.
Thanks
Hi Abid,
Not Currently, but you can uservoice it and if it gets a lot of votes, then I would plan a release. Thanks! Glad you like the plugin.
Is Eventify now compatible with php 4?
Have a problem:
Events added are marked as ‘deleted’ – it is good to hide them in common news-flow, but IE have no access to their pages to show.
It’s a problem of engine, but this feature is usable by eventify and I don’t know what to do with it – plugin is great to me.
So sorry, it’s not problem of plugin, but an error of our administrator, human-factor in real life.
Trouble was fixed
great! sorry for the late reply, been a little busy.
I copied the following code:
[eventifytag displaytype="events" displayno="1"]
into the sidebar – Text widget and saved it, I also have 3 events added. Now when I try to check the sidebar, it shows up the same code:
[eventifytag displaytype="events" displayno="1"]
and not the actual events, am I missing something?
I am using WordPress: 2.9.1
Thanks.
Bhupal.
Why don’t you use the sidebar widget that already comes with the plugin? it’s better managed and easier that way. Hope this helps.
Can you make it that it supports multiple day events?
I would like to use it to display the expositions in teh sidebar with related post with more info on the exposition.
But for that I need to be able to make an even go from for example May 03 to May 28.
Thx 
Hi Sensas,
Will definitely try to add the functionality where the events go on for multiple day’s like conf’s etc.
Is there any way to add the events to a page instead of a post? For example an events page.
Hi Joey,
Currently no, but I can take the request down and work on it
I would love to use this, but is there a way that you can export the data generated – ie, a list of attendees?
Yeah, In the admin there’s a backup button that will make a dump of the table with all the event info. But I haven’t included a RSVP mod into the plugin yet but seems like and awesome idea, will do so with the next release scheduled soon.
Hi great plugin, much needed thanks.
I have to questions:
One is there a way to make it so that users who add events automatically are added as popups and take away that choice for them or take away the post choice?
Second, is there a quick code for the event form to add it to a page if we don’t want it in the widget?
Thanksq
Hi Daniella,
Thank you for the praises A newer release of the plugin is scheduled this week, I will make sure it has these features. To keep yourself updated you can become a fb page fan of the plugin, I post to it everytime I update the plugin(s). Thanks!
Look interesting, going to try it out.
Thanks!
My wife and I both love this plugin. My only comment is: can you add functionality so that once an event is added you can go back and edit it? My wife has had to move a couple of her event to a different date and deleting and readding is a pain. Also, going into the database and editing that way is something that my wife cannot do. This would help us out a bunch. I’m sure other users could use this also. Thank you. Again, a big pat on the back for this.
Sure Thomas,
I will add that functionality with the next release which will be this week end lots changed
Is there ical functionality? not clear in the description.
Hi Mathew,
The iCal functionality will be out shortly in the next release, its in alpha right now. To keep yourself updated do connect, either via fb, twitter or rss
Hi,
I use your eventify plugin, and perhaps for the next issue, you can make it compatible W3C.
In eventify.class.php about line 914, you put a link attribute in the body tag instead that in the head tag.
Perhaps, can you put it in the function add_js_css_theme ?
Best Regards.
Thanks Damien, Will do so Next release will be W3C compliant
Hi Designerfoo,
I see some improvment which are good, but I meet errors with the W3C compliant yet.
I correct this at each new version for me.
I think that it a point that should not be overlooked
Best regards
Hello! Looks like your plugin will really helps me, but it doesn’t work.
I press the “Add event” button and see this message:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_ireplace() in /home/*****/public_html/domain.com/wp-content/plugins/eventify/php/eventify.class.php on line 48″
Help me please.
Hi Vadim,
It seems you are running the plugin locally and I think its either the “str_ireplace” function in PHP is not found or your PHP version is old? What version are you using and what OS?
My server uses Linux + PHP 4.4.6
thats what the problem is the function that i am using is not compatible with php 4.x its a php 5.x function, I will make the correction soon thanks! and sorry!
Same problem as Vadim, when do you think you will be able to make it run on PHP 4.x?
Your plugin does EXACTLY what I need, but it’s not working 
This would be sometime this week, pref-ably before Sunday/Monday!
I have changed all “str_ireplace” to “str_replace” – works OK, cause case is not important in quotes-changing
I have installed eventify, but can’t add any event – nothing happens.
Yellow status bar shows ‘event added’ but there is no event shown in the table and no events on my event page nor in my sidebar / by widget
Any Idea? What about folder and rights?
maxx
Hi Maxx,
Did you recently update from an older version? Here is what I suggest, deactivate, delete and re-install the plugin, if you are still facing problems, mail me and I am sure we will fix it. Thanks
I was wondering why the popup after clicking on the event name is not working. The popup works on the home page widget but when i go to the page where i added the event the link dosent do anything. The homepage is http://www.untiltheshout.com the page with the events is http://untiltheshout.com/?page_id=24
Hi Robert,
Thats because you chose to save the event as a post? If you want a popup, while entering the events make sure you save them as a “popup”. Hope this helps. Thanks for using the plugin!
Hi. Love your plugin but I can’t bulk upload. Watched video, can’t even upload your example csv file. No error on page but I find this in my PHP error log:
WordPress database error for query Select * from wp_em_main made by require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array, eventify->options_panel, referer: http://intranet.uftwf.org/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=eventify/php/eventify.class.php
Hi Rick,
Can you mail me the csv file? Let me have a look at it?
I am getting a js error in IE 8.

Hey Dustin,
Thanks for letting me know. Fixed and Uploaded the new version to wordpress. Just update Thanks again and happy new year!
Hi Manoj, Eventify Is very simple and that’s great, but can you make it to work with the plugin (Mingle) mingle is a community plugin. if you could make a version where the user can upload there events to there “profile editor” in the mingle plugin so it will show up on the “profile” page in a section on the page or make it when people press there event button a shadowbox pops up with all there events they uploaded in the frame, and at the same time there should be a main event page where all the users events are listed on a page in alphabetical order by state and city That would be Great. Thank You For You and Your Plugin.
Hope to see it Soon, That it would be Great!
God Bless You

Hi Henry,
Thanks for the wishes and glad you liked the plugin, sure will keep that in mind, with the next release, and will update via twitter and email subs. Thanks again and god bless!
Love the plugin, but it doesn’t like my site. It locks the up down scroll bar in IE8. Works fine in other browsers (Safari, Chrome, FireFox). Compatibility problem with theme?
Hi Frank,
Let me have a look at it for you, if its okay with you? and thanks for the pat on the back more versions of the same coming up soon!
Looks like a theme problem, mail me and I can help you make it work. Thanks!
@robert I have added the date support and venue support in 1.1.c hope thats fine now.. as for the time zones, I quite did not understand where would you like these? To be displayed on the widget ?
I was wondering – instead of the css styled “popup”, is it possible to enable it for use with Shadowbox / Lightbox etc?
Also – I agree with the date formatting – it really needs to go International !!
Is it possible to put this in the options section?
Hi Craig,
I will work on the lightbox/shadowbox popup. For now I have added the date formatting option and added a venue field too.. hope this helps.. The new version is 1.1.c
Hi Craig,
Ligthbox style popup added in the new version!
great plugin. I have a suggestion for you. could you make it a bit more international? I really need dates in DD/MM/YYYY format rather than MM/DD/YYYy format.
Should ne easy enough to pick this up from the WP Date Format constant?
Keep up the good work
Thanks Robert for the pat on the back and the recommedation, will definitely work on it!
Would also be good if you could include an optional time field and possibly a location?
That would make me very happy
great idea! how can i add more space at the bottom? i have a twitter widget below and the eventify message when clicked are covered by the twitter widget.
thanks so much!
Get into the plugins folder. There would be a CSS folder, inside that there is a file called – popup_widget.css – you can use this file to edit and margin’s, make the popup appear any way you like
hi
the video was great. its a very good needed plugin, no doubt. congrats for the initiative.
one more suggestion, there should be an option to give a hyper link for that event with a post already published on the net
i tried this in a wp-mu site. after adding the event, the admin page went white. when refreshed, the event was not there!. so its not properly working in wp-mu
ONS.
Hi ONS, sorry for the wp-mu mess up.. I haven’t tested for wp-mu yet, just trying to make it through the next release which would be hopefully next week, but before that I have to finish this site
Great idea! I just happened to be looking for this capability. Two observations: 1) the time drop down in the admin panel needs to be a bit wider; and 2) you should add a time zone field. Cheers!
Hey Jon,
Thanks for the pat on the back Glad you liked it.. Will definitely add the time zone and time drop fields
Hi Damien,
Could you point out where and which line the error is, I can correct it for future releases. Thanks.
Hi designerfoo,
If I remember good, the errors are the following:
aventify.class.php
- line 935 : Close It => miss space between “#” and class=”
- line 946 : miss ALT attribute for img tag.
& there is a problem W3C with the tag div here but I don’t understand why.
- add in function add_js_css_theme()
the line echo ” . “\n”;
in eventify.widget.php
remove the line echo ” . “\n”; (don’t remember the line)
I think that I put everything.
best regards
