  • Added http_timeout to allow timeout to be adjusted

2.1.1

• Bug Fixes:

• Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed notices that could occur when UCF_Events_Feed::get_events returns null when using the modern layout

• Enhancements:

  • Added new modern_nodesc layout, which is identical to the existing modern layout but excludes event descriptions.

2.0.0

• Enhancements:
  • Updated layout hooks to use filters instead of actions. Please note this change is not backward-compatible with layouts registered using hooks provided by older versions of the plugin.

1.0.6

• Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed bug in modern layout that could cause broken HTML in event descriptions.

1.0.5

• Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed display_events() in UCF_Events_Common not being set as a static method

  • Added false-y check for $items in ucf_events_display_classic() to help prevent looping through non-items.

1.0.4

  • Added modern layout.

1.0.3

• Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed [ucf-events] shortcode to return its output instead of echo it; fixes output buffer issues with shortcode contents.

1.0.2

• Bug Fixes:
  • Whitelists the hostname from the default feed_url option to make sure wp_safe_remote_get does not mark calls to the host as unsafe.

1.0.1

• Bug Fixes:
  • Updated style enqueue logic to always enqueue, instead of being dependent on the widget or shortcode being on a page.
  • Corrected problem with do_action dereferencing arrays with a single index. Account for this dereference in callbacks.
