Events Manager 2.1
Hello folks,
just a short note to announce the release of Events Manager 2.1.
It’s probably not as stable as the lack of a or b would suggest, but it is definitely much stabler than the previous version. Also, I got tired of letters.
Here’s the changelog:
- Properly added Marcus Sykes as a contributor
- Added a full calendar
- Added an #_EDITEVENT placeholder
- Added Brazialian Portuguese localization and some translatable strings
- Added a today scope for events lists
- Increased to 3 te default lists limit
- Categories are now displayed in the events table
- Now weeks starts according to WP settings
- Moved the hide page option up for better access
- Attributes column was not created when the plugin was upgraded, fixed
- Added comment field to the RSVP form and #_COMMENT placeholder in RSVP email templates
- Added customizable title to small calendar
- Removed php short tags
- Changed RVSP ‘no seats available message’ for better English
- Bugfix: there was a time bug
- Bugfix: event_time not taken into consideration in ordering events, fixed
- Bugfix: on calendar for days after 28 on the event calendar view
- Bugfix: for events in days with single digit
- Bugfix: events link in the calendar now work with permalink
- Bugfix: today in next mont was not matched in the calendar
- Bugfix: _RESPPHONE was not matched in emails
- Bugfix: fixed security vulnerability, which could lead to sql inject attacks
- Bugfix: locations with apostrophe were duplicated
- Bugfix: bloginfo(‘wpurl’) instead of bloginfo(‘url’)
- Bugfix: now loading textdomain in the new (not deprecated) way
Most of the bugfixes, and some of the features, were sponsored by Sara of Paperlantern, to whom I am most grateful.
Also, I just got a haircut:

Cheers,
Davide

Ciao Davide, Sarebbe possibile inserire gli eventi come post?

You had an additional bug to add now..
Simple fix.
dbembookings table does not have the same int structure for the personid as the dbempeople personid.
dbembookings personid has a tinyint(4) dbempeople personid has a mediumint(9)
I got bit hard on the @$$ when everyone stopped showing up properly after the 127th entry in the bookings.
It may be wise to adopt a routine int(11) unsigned for your ids across the board to give enough for a broad audience and wide array of events.

Just wanted to say that so far everything seems to be working perfectly for me. This is one fantastic plugin and so easy to use. Thank you very much!
I’ve heard rumor that there may be development going on to integrate this with buddypress groups. Now that would be amazing. If it is the case, and you ever need any testing, let me know. I use buddypress and events manager on all of my websites.

I had one question that I can’t figure out for anything. http://davidebenini.it/events-manager-forum/topic.php?id=622
Basically I need a way to ‘trim’ #the_notes so that I can show an ‘excerpt’ on the archive listing page.
Can you provide some assistance?
thank you

Hi there,
I had a problem with this Event Manager plugin based on the eventid field (tinyint(4)) format under the dbmbooking table.
limited to 127 id value, registration where only fielded for “event id 127″.
This maybe usefull to know and for futur releases, some fields should be with greater type then tinyint(4).
For the rest, I like the easy approach of this plugin
regards

Hey David. Thanks for the update. One question: One is there a space at the end of the events name in the wplistpages ??
ie:
<a title=”Events ” etc……. Notice the space after the “s” in events….

Thanks for the plugin, works well.
Just to let you know that the file dbemevents.php contains 2 occurrences of a short PHP opening tag (<? instead of <?php), which will cause errors if PHP is configured with shortopen_tag = 0

Hello! Thanks for the great plugin, it is the best events plugin I’ve been able to find. However I’m having trouble with categories. They only show up on the table of events randomly, and sometimes they are incorrect.
I also put it a bit of code so the category would show up in each listing so I could color code the events based on the categories. But since the categories aren’t working properly neither is the color coding.
Help!

the error was from several php short tags in the file, did a search and replace to fix them

Ciao Davide, ti scrivo in Italiano per essere più chiaro (in inglese rischierei di scrivere strafalcioni). Ti segnalo un errore che ho trovato, facilmente risolvibile.
Nell’elenco eventi, se abiliti la prenotazione eventi viene correttamente mostrato il form, ma dice sempre che “non ci sono posti disponibili”. Questo accade perchè non c’è il parametro $GET['eventid'], utilizzato nella funzione dbembookseats(), essendo appunto sulla pagina d’elenco eventi e non sull’evento stesso. Io ho risolto mettendo come campo hidden l’id dell’evento nel form e modificando la funzione dbembookseats() prendendo $GET o $POST a seconda dei casi.
Quando pubblichi questa correzione, riesci a inviarmi una mail così aggiorno il plugin? In caso ti giro la mia di correzione, ma non so se sia la soluzione migliore (potresti anche valutare di disabilitare il form di prenotazione dall’elenco eventi e metterlo solamente nel “dettaglio evento”).
Aggiungo 2 possibili funzionalità che ora sto integrando io ma che potresti tranquillamente aggiungere nella prossima release (in caso ti passo il mio lavoro, non c’è problema): - mappa unica con tutti i marker di tutti gli eventi. Se cliccati mandano al dettaglio evento - possibilità di cercare gli eventi dal “cerca” di wordpress. Basta mettere l’hook sulal ricerca e modificare il file search.php nel template.
Spero di esserti stato utile.
Ciao e complimenti per il plugin, fatto molto bene!
