@Nick_Stager

In your screenshot your ‘hey let’s get tea’ event is duplicated four times, this happened to us as well and our solution was just to not have the calendar event include the start and end date, only the start date, but that’s not ideal.

Did you ever figure out a solution for this so that you can keep an event with different start and end dates without the event being duplicated on ‘upcoming events?’

Hi Nick! The behavior you are seeing is intended, but I can see how it appears repetitive.

Could you start a new topic in Feature to lay out what you are looking to see changed in the way events with an end date are displayed? Ideally with a mockup and/or examples from other event platforms.

We can then talk about it there and clean up the replies here.

Hello community, I am looking for a solution to see the participants who are attending the upcoming events on the events page. Thank you.

@gilles

Hello, I saw this

The content in the red box in your pic shows the local time zones of all members in the specified group, using markdown like this in your post. See the settings in the first post above.

[timezones group="team"]timezones[/timezones]

@gilles

I am looking for a solution to see the participants who are attending the upcoming events on the events page.

Can you share an example of what you are wanting this to look like? Each event does have a participants list which you can see on the events page, in a popup on the event menu, and export to csv.

It might help us to help you if you can tell us some more about your site and what you are trying to do with this plugin.

Thanks Tobiaseigen
I will try to explain.
I manage a board game association. I use events as game tables.
Players participate in events (game tables) and I wanted to display the events with the participants to see the available spots for each event directly, to avoid having to look through each event. And I wanted to display this in upcoming events.
I don’t know if I am very clear.

Hi all! I’ve installed the Right Sidebar Blocks plugin to display upcoming events in the right sidebar using the upcoming-events-list block. However, after creating an event, I keep getting an “Invalid date” error in the upcoming events list.

Has anyone encountered this before? Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback and support!

@mpaulhac

Has anyone encountered this before?

no, and I have right side bar with upcoming events and it works

@mpaulhac

I keep getting an “Invalid date” error in the upcoming events list.

is the event set to a proper time? Maybe show us the event

[mpaulhac]

Hi Andrew, thanks for your answer! Here are screenshots of the event:

[Andrew_Rowe]

huh… your event looks good to me and the date looks good in the upper left corner of your second screen shot so its working, just not on your right side bar
here’s mine

[mpaulhac]

I might have misconfigured the right sidebar plugin for the upcoming events list, could you perhaps share what settings you used?

[Andrew_Rowe]

here is the editor with the upcoming events block (it is the first one in my lists)

and here is themes and components view
Those two are the only settings I’ve changed. The first one launches the editor shown above. The second one is just what views the side bar shows in

[mpaulhac]

I tried changing my settings to match yours, but it’s still not working, I have no idea why! I think I’ll give up on this for now
Thanks so much anyway for your time and support, I really appreciate it!

Hey @mpaulhac

It seems your forum is hosted by Discourse. Before you give up: have you tried contacting their support? Unlike support provided by the community, they can see your settings and can probably more easily find out what’s wrong.

[mpaulhac]

Hi @Moin! Thanks for the suggestion! We haven’t contacted their support yet, but that’s a great idea. We’ll reach out to them directly to see if they can help identify the issue more efficiently. Really appreciate your help!

I’m seeing this too - but only for particular dates. If I move the event to another week, it works fine! It only seems to be a problem in Safari - it’s fine in Chrome, Firefox and Edge

[mpaulhac]

Hi Niels! I’ve just checked and it works fine on Google Chrome, same as you. The problem is indeed with Safari

[Thorsten]

We updated our forum to Discourse version 3.5.0.beta6 a few days ago. After the update the date of all events is no longer shown correctly in the posts.

Here is an example:

The event was created before the update and looks like this:

[event start="2025-06-21 14:00" status="public" timezone="Europe/Berlin" end="2025-06-21 16:00" url="https://swisstesladay.ch/"allowedGroups="trust_level_0"]
[/event]

The “format” parameter is not part of the event but is shown in the redered post.

I saw that there are a few new commits for the calendar plugin. Do you think updating the plugin to the latest version would solve the problem?

Thank you in advance for the support.

I think so. There was a fix within the last week

Calendar event seems broken?

We haven’t been able to repro this locally, but clearly this is related to german and typographic quotes. Im attempting this fix: Please let me know if it improves the situation for you.

[Thorsten]

Thank you for the reply and the link to the other thread.

We will update to the latest version of the calendar plugin in the next days.

Thanks a lot for the 06/2025 update bringing many new features. This plugin is really a base stone to build a community, I think any forum system should have such a feature but most of them don’t.
Discourse developers are great at understanding fundamentals needs for communities ! You guys rock !
