hello.
since version jevents34_3.4.27, and also in 3.4.28 the diacritics don't work anymore in month view components/com_jevents/views/flat/month/calendar_cell.php was changed in latest versions.
i have to change some code in calendar_cell.php variables title and cellString used in 3.4.25 displayed correctly.
also when in month view if i have an event for 1 may 2016 till 20 february 2017 i click on the event displayed today 19 january 2017 and it displays the info about the event but then i click back on month view and it goes to month may 2016 and not january 2017.
Hello,

I'm sorry to hear about your problems. In regards to diacritics we are looking into this as we speak and will update you as soon as possible.

In regards to the loss of month, this is down to the way the filtering is handled I'm afraid. You could always open JEvents event details in a new window or popups too?

Many thanks
Tony

Please edit the file component/site/views/YOUR_JEVENTS_THEME/month/tmpl/calendar_cell.php and search for this code 


$dom->loadHTML($cellString);

See https://github.com/JEvents/JEvents/commit/6b0e5d6e16b74dc511b6458f311865f44ff1ae13 for the relevant line numbers, and change it to 


$dom->loadHTML('<html><head><meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></head><body>'.$cellString.'</body>');

This should resolve the issue with non-ascii characters in the tooltips. Once you have confirmed this resolves your issue I'll release JEvents 3.4.29 with the fix inculded.

For your returning to May 2016 issue - I would suggest you switch off the new SEF URLs in the JEvents config (SEF/Performance tab). This will include the day/month/year values in the event detail URL and may resolve this for you. This is not ideal for SEF purposes since it generates lots of very similar URLs for the same event detail page and makes the URLs less readable.

hello.
so your solution replacing $dom->loadHTML($cellString); works, but found a simpler one, with php function htmlentities()


$dom->loadHTML(htmlentities($cellString));


for the may 2016 issue, it's also in Year and Week the problem. i've switched off new SEF URLs, when going to the page with the calendar the url has the date in it 2017/01/20 but the url with the event has the date /icalrepeat.detail/2016/05/10/6/-/ so when going to that event when i want to return to year, month or week the url remains with 2016/05/10, you should replace the links with the clicked date, if i click on 15 january 2017 the variable should be 2017/01/15 or something like that...

you can test it here http://cjsuceava.ro/index.php/ro/evenimente/month.calendar/2017/01/20/-

HTML entities may not work with multi-byte strings e.g. Japanese/Chinese characters.

The problem with the date is that your event is a single event that starts in May 2016 - if you want to distinguish between each day's version of the event you would be better off with a daily repeating event.

Set both the start date and end date to be 10.05.2016 - its a one day event that is being repeated over a number of days. You have a 18 month long event repeating daily which will create a LOT of overlapping event repeats.

Would it be possible to update your review at extensions.joomla.org to reflect the fix? Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you very much.

Yes they will all be lost on upgrading. We advise you override the CSS and add that css to: JEvents -> custom css.

Or override the whole CSS file with a template override see:
https://www.jevents.net/frequently-asked-questions/customising-layouts

More specifically the section:

More Advanced Changes

Many thanks
Tony
