Events Plugin 📆

[md-misko]

in the interim can you submit a bug report ?

Would you be so kind and submit the bug report for me?

I tried to register on the Sandbox but I couldn’t—I never received the confirmation e-mail (it is not in spam folder either), even after multiple retries. Could you check the SMTP logs on your side?

[Ellibereth]

Done. I’ve edited my post to add the links: Events Plugin

Thanks @Globulle

Sorry about that @md-misko, I think this was a case of Outlook not behaving well with certain email services - I’ll check with angus but I’m not sure what the long term solution is. (Seen mentions of this pop up around meta every once in a while).

I validated your account manually so you should be able to log in and submit the report - let me know if you still run into any issues.

On a side note: thank you for the fantastic work on this plugin! I’m eagerly awaiting the feature to add reminders to events, what is the current status on this?

This has been slotted to be worked on in a couple of weeks per Add event reminders - Tasks - Pavilion.

Thanks, it’s working now, bug report filed as

iCal feed issues in Office 365 and outlook.com

This has been slotted to be worked on in a couple of weeks

I’d also like to able to filter events by tags.

There’s finally a feature request for this. Please vote!

events: Tag filter in Calendar and Maps views

Hi All,

i beleive there is a bug with the event plugin, any idea ?

[SDKAAA (Bernard Sadaka (SDKAAA))]

Is the bellow error related to this plugin? (also posted here)

a user created a topic by copy pasting some content from a facebook page; this has crashed the topic iteslf, the category and his activities page. (the rest of the topics and categories of the site remained accessible)
I managed to destroy the topic from the console and everything went back to normal for the user and category.
Is this error related to the mentioned plugin “discourse-events”?
here follows the errors:

@Jeremie_Leroy @SDKAAA @quimgil Thanks for your bug reports.

After this commit the issue should no longer appear:

add resiliance to has_event? checkt

For further context:

Custom field casting affected by recent update?

There have been multiple bug reports for the events plugin in the last two days that all seem to be type-casting issues with custom fields. The events plugin hasn’t been substantively updated in a few months. The plugin.rb file casts event_start as an integer: Topic.register_custom_field_type('event_start', :integer) The error is being thrown here: def has_event? self.custom_fields['event_start']&.nonzero? end The error itself follows this format: NoMethodError (undefined method `nonze…

[quimgil]

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

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

Note that if you were affected by this bug, even after the update you may still be having an issue with the “Agenda” topic list (the rest of the functionality is unaffected by this particular issue). I’ve made a PR to Discourse to address this secondary issue.

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/7886

[quimgil]

The Calendar view has issues as well (Error 500). See Wikimedia Space & Events - Wikimedia Space

[quimgil]

Er… and now it works without us having touched anything.

EDITED: And now it’s broken again…

[DavidO (David)]

A feature request: be able to set some predefined event types. Each event type has its own color. This way, on one calendar, different kinds of events can be in different colors.

More complicated:
Perhaps if these are akin to tags, one calendar could also be sorted to view by event types. Parties, networking, deadlines, etc.

Second this. Colors are better than icons IMO because they come across visually on the calendar easier.

It would be great if a user could “subscribe” to each type, on the Calendar/Agenda pages, by un/checking boxes and having it save their preferences. Then they could elect to be notified each time one of their preferred type of events were posted. Less noise, more signal.

Thank you again for all of your development so far. This has been a great addition to our little non-profit. Amazing work!

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

@quimgil @Jeremie_Leroy The calendar and agenda views should work again once you update.

[Jeremie_Leroy]

Great, thanks @angus , i was wondering, is there somewhere i can sort the events by the soon on top ? -> Sortir - Activités - Français à Londres

[quimgil]

The calendar and agenda views should work again once you update.

Updated and so far it works. Thank you very much.

[Jeremie_Leroy]

Hi @angus, any idea regarding the way events are sorted ? Many thanks

[Ellibereth]

The best way to do this to my knowledge is to go into the calendar view, though ordering the topic stream by event date might be an interesting feature.

[Jeremie_Leroy]

i have been searching for a long while but with the agenda at the moment, i do not find the way to sort topic in the earliest first manner.

is it me ? is it related to this ? :
https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/905ebaa14eb452e9e329176d05668d16ef5a5774

[Ellibereth]

i have been searching for a long while but with the agenda at the moment, i do not find the way to sort topic in the earliest first manner.

is it me ? is it related to this ? :

Ah yeah.
The “Agenda” tab only shows events to come in a chronological order I think. So events with dates that have passed already won’t be listed.

[Jeremie_Leroy]

thank @Ellibereth, for your tips, i did try all the ways to sort in the events, but still i doesn’t sort it with the earliest first. See below ->
