Marc:
I have recently noticed two problems with the use of event categories. The first was fixed several months ago, but has reappeared recently. The 2nd is new. Since I have not opened and hidden individual categories much recently, I don’t know what these problems actually started, but I am assuming that they are a by-product of some of the extensive changes you have been making in Localendar.
For the problem that has reappeared, go here: http://www.localendar.com/public/OPwebmaster?rss_link=false
This is just a full page view of my calendar. Go to April, 2016. Deselect ‘Show All’ and select ‘Tennis Ottawa’ (the brown background). Now move to May. ‘Show All’ and all of the individual categories are checked, and all events appear on the calendar. That should not be happening. Localendar is supposed to remember what was set in April, and reflect that in May.
Deselect Show All’ and this time select ‘Tennis Jermain’ (the blue background). Now move back to April. Again, ‘Show All’ and all of the individual categories are checked, and they all appear on the calendar.
My Localendar is actually published as part of my website as a ‘fully interactive embedded calendar’. Go here: http://www.ottawapark.org/calendar-ottawa-park-toledo.html
In addition to the above problem, there is a new one. Again, go to April, 2016. Deselect ‘Show All’ and select ‘Tennis Ottawa’ (the brown background). Correctly, the brown events are the only ones that appear. Select ‘Show All’. All of the events appear, but none of the other event categories are checked. Now check ‘Tennis Jermain’. Once that category is checked, ALL the blue events disappear from the calendar! If you then uncheck ‘Tennis Jermain’, the blue events reappear on the calendar. Check ‘Tennis Jermain’ again, so the blue events have disappeared. Notice that ‘Show All’ is no longer checked. Check ‘Show All’, and the events on the calendar appear, but the events that were not checked are still not checked.
Now move to May. All of the events appear on the calendar, but only ‘Tennis Jermain’ and ‘Tennis Ottawa’‘s individual categories are checked. Now uncheck ‘Tennis Jermain’, and all the events disappear from the calendar—just like they should. Notice that ‘Disc Golf’ (green) is not checked. Check it, and the green events DISappear.
Finally, note that a Refresh of the screen will not provide a screen with all the events shown and all the individual categories checked. You have to close the browser, and reopen it.
There may be more anomalies, but I stopped testing at this point.
I remember from past threads that you said the coding for the fully interactive calendar was not the same as for the full page view, so perhaps this second problem is a by-product of the first problem (the one that reappeared).
