@sharmstr honestly had a pretty rubbish time with the plugin. the wpmu events plugin doesn’t pay nice with kleo or vice versa. the fact that there isn’t a shortcode to list all events in the events plugin doesn’t help.

here are the main issues i encountered and how i fixed them (not necessarily the best fix)

events list>
– title displayed is not name of page, but name of latest article. FIX updated kleo’s title function to set title to ‘Events’ when the request uri is /events/
– summary text for each item is all next to each other (no formatting, or punctuation). FIX installed advanced snippet plugin to maintain format of date/time. then updated advanced snippet plugin to take notice of the additional tags (time, tel, etc) that the events plugin uses and update code to chage default snippet length to fewer words.
– post meta data (author, date of posting) can be confused with date and venue of the event. FIX update kleo meta function to just list event category

event detail>
– i wanted to display maps so installed the wpmu maps plugin, but the responsive plugin for maps does not work with events plugin. FIX

COPY CODE

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
          setTimeout(function(){resizeMap()},500);
});

function resizeMap(){ 
    jQuery('.agm_google_maps').css('width','100%');
	jQuery('.agm_google_maps > div').css('width','100%');
}

– styling issue, big white space at top of listing. FIX remove clear left from the top hr (need to add class to the hr to do this)
– post meta data can be confused with date of event. FIX… not done yet.

that’s just the stuff off the top of my head, there could be other issues!
