Events Plugin 📆

This patch seems to work! I can tell that the difference between having this patch or not for us meant having a broken site or a(n apparently) fully functional one.

These were the effects of the bug:

  • Discourse not rendering to anonymous users beyond the header (totally unusable site).
  • For registered users, probably non-cached content (i.e. Latest lists) wouldn’t render, and the rest was a hit or miss.
  • Strangely enough, from three admins two would lose access to the web UI completely while a third (myself) still could access the admin interface and create a backup before rebuilding.

In other words: whatever is the bug, it can become a major one breaking the site.

Yesterday morning we upgraded Discourse, and the bug appeared hours later
