GigPress 2.1 available
Posted by Derek on Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 | 14
I just committed GigPress 2.1 to the WordPress plugins repository; it should start to show up in your plugin update notifications shortly. Most of what’s new in version 2.1 was covered in my last post, but I wanted to highlight a few changes to prevent headaches:
- GigPress 2.1 requires WordPress 2.8 or newer, and is fully-compatible with WordPress 2.9
- The GigPress widget has been overhauled for the better (multiple instances, and some new options), but this means that existing widgets will need to be reset due to the changes
- Along with the widget changes comes changes to the
gigpress_sidebar()function. If you currently call this function directly (as opposed to using the widget), you’ll need to make a quick update your template. Refer to the updated docs for details. - There are a couple of variable changes for the
sidebar-list-footertemplate regarding the display of the feed links and the link to the main shows page. If you’re using a customized version of that template, a quick look at the new defaultsidebar-list-footer.phpwill show you the way.
Be sure to review the docs for the new monthly/yearly archive menu and implement it on your site if it makes sense. It’s been an oft-requested feature, and I think folks will find it very useful.

9:29 pm #I think it’s a problem with 2.1.3 as well. I was just using gigpress_sidebar(), so I added the options, but now it won’t show the “more” shows link.
$options = array(
‘limit’ => 5,
‘scope’ => ‘upcoming’,
‘show_tours’ => ‘no’,
‘group_artists’ => ‘no’,
‘artist_order’ => ‘alphabetical’,
‘show_feeds’ => ‘yes’,
‘link_text’ => ‘More Shows’
);
echo gigpress_sidebar($options); -

9:49 pm #@dirq – so, the sidebar gigs are showing, it’s just the “more” text that’s not appearing? Do you have a URL filled in for your shows page in the GigPress settings?

9:42 pm #How do you get ‘Notes’ to display in the linked Upcoming Shows gigpress page (or even in the sidebar widget for that matter)? I want to display more info (ie, solo or band show, early show, free, other details not in current fields). when i enter data in ‘notes’ i don’t see it.
Great plugin! Thanks

10:53 am #@Mike – notes should definitely show up the main shows listing. To show them in the sidebar you’ll ned to customize the sidebar template (see the docs).
Can you post a link for me to see, and indicate which show has notes attached?

2:23 pm #@Mike – the notes are there, but the inherited colour is the same as your background color, so they appear invisible. Do some CSS customization to fix this.

10:20 am #Robert – do you mean on the front-end or back-end? Does this persist if you disable all other plugins? WP version?
