Hey,

Did a search and couldn't find anything with the terms I chose to use. Anyways, I can't for the live of me get the Upcoming Shows sidebar to show any results except for when I use Canada in the country settings. I'd like to just have "Vancouver" but can't seem to get it to work. I've even tried other Canadian cities and nothing will display results. Can anyone else get just Vancouver to display and if so what are you using in your settings?

Ya, I can get that to work just fine. I was hoping I could get those results to appear in the main site sidebar tho. In your profile settings you can tweak it out to display various locations and I can only get the country field to work with Canada.

Or is there a way to turn that URL into a sidebar?

It should work. I've tried with Vancouver as well and it doesn't work. I've also tried with a Dutch city and it did work. Strange.

Just so we're clear on this - you did not put the above dropbox on 'hide', did you?

Nope, it's set to display "15". It's strange, I can pretty much everything but a Canadian city to display properly.

The problem is, the state abbreviation is part of the city name, and city name must be an exact match - which means you need to type "Vancouver, BC". Add both "Vancouver" and "Vancouver, BC" just to be sure

Actually it's explained in the Settings panel, under "Cities". If it's not obvious enough, I'll try to change the description.

Well, in defense of xclaw, I tried that but it automatically converts to:

Vancouver
BC


(with a space in front of BC, which doesnt show here)

Do you have both the city and country input?

Eh, my bad, never tested properly. Fixed now. You will have to re-enter cities with states though.
