Iāve now installed the events plugin on my instance and have started adding some dates to topics, though havenāt added it to the menus yet. Looking really good!
Some feedback:
- would be nice to be able to add links to calendar and agenda on the hamburger menu as an optional setting
- editing topics OPs to add events is a bit cumbersome - would be nice to be able to do this from the title edit interface as well which quicker to find and get to.
- editing topics to add events adds a revision, but the date addition itself is not saved to the revision
- no pretty onebox links to calendars?
- when adding an event with end date, it would be nice if the end date picker would automatically change to the same month when I choose the start date, as one is used to seeing when booking flights. š
bugs?
- multiple day events with no start/end times are getting a start time showing up in the calendar - but not one day events with no start/end time
- I added dates to a topic, then changed my mind and removed them - but the topic is still appearing on the agenda page.
- I added dates to a topic and accidentally put them in november 2018. I went back and fixed the date to november 2017. but the topic is still showing up towards the end fo the list as though it were chronologically in november 2018
- one of the events I added has a munged title in the calendar view and is illegible. see screenshot. seens the event on the 14th is overwriting the event on the 15th. should it/can it not wrap within the box? or at least have full name appear as helper text on mouseover?
 
- from the calendar, when I select the forum title to go back to the front page, I am taken to /latest but it is filtered for the date range that was showing in the calendar. click again and it resets and shows all /latest topics.

Great feedback as usual š
**Bugs**
Thankfully, these are all relatively minor (from a code perspective).

Fixed. Like on Google Calendar, the default should be that the text doesnāt wrap and overflow is hidden. I might add showing full title on mouseover after Iāve addressed the other issues.

This is fixed:

Good catch. This only happens when the setting āremove past events from the agendaā is off.

Fixed (youāll need to save the event again):
[https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/960b6ad126f18184dd1a2d06173172744ffb2c78](https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/960b6ad126f18184dd1a2d06173172744ffb2c78)

Iām not seeing this one. Could you double check? Are there any errors in the console?
**Features**

Good idea. Iāll add this later today.
> [@tobiaseigen](#):

Yes, Iāll add this as an option too later today.
> [@tobiaseigen](#):
>

Indeed, Iāll also add this.
> [@tobiaseigen](#):
>

This one is a bit more complex š . It will have to wait until weāre sure there are no more issues with the existing feature set.

Yes, Iāll add this too later today.

Angus, I stumbled upon this JavaScript application that creates a timeline: wouldnāt it be awesome to have this option integrated in discourse-events, linking to topics?

You have to enable events on a per-category basis, so you would need to turn them on in all categories.

> I wanna add event when user comment, Display add event in Comment?
This is not possible in this plugin right now, but it may be possible in [this plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-chronos/82983) in the near future.

Yes, timelines are nice š
If you really wanted to you could probably add one to a site via Site Customisations using the existing API endpoints for events, e.g. `https://discourse.angusmcleod.com.au/calendar?end=2018-04-01&start=2018-02-25`
Youād need to find a different timeline library though. That one requires you have the data in a google spreadsheet.

Like this:
> [@Events Plugin calendar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/events-plugin-calendar/69776/150):
>
> The calendar is configured so that the start day of the week is set by the moment\_locale settings ([full list here](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/lib/javascripts/moment_locale)). For the German locale de, the start of the week is in fact Monday. You can test this by changing your locale to de on my [sandbox](https://discourse.angusmcleod.com.au/calendar). Are your German users not using the German locale? Yes, this has been raised before. This may be on the agenda in the future, but not for a little while. @Tom_Newsom Yes as @craisp notes, subscribe links wonā¦

The local means the language settings of your user. Example: If your user selected German as his language, the calendar starts with Monday.

I have a feeling this is going to be a frequent request.
Iāve added a control in the user āInterfaceā settings that allows you to select the first day of the week.
[https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/af9224d6b5ceaaf48cf6df047d9028f3bcbe453b](https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/af9224d6b5ceaaf48cf6df047d9028f3bcbe453b)
The default is whatever the start of the week in the relevant `moment_locale` config is.

Hi @Angus. An issue has come up twice in the last 24 hours on my forum:
An event organiser created a topic with a date/time, and a lot of interested people got notified of the new topic via email.
Unfortunately the notification emails didnāt contain the date/time, so members are now responding to the forum by email to ask the organiser what the date isā¦ I think sheāll quickly get annoyed at having to respond to each person to repeat the date that she already set on her topic.
Could you include date/times in email notifications?
