Events Plugin 📆

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

Hey @Rhidian,

@Rhidian

Are they compatible if I migrate from one to the other or will I lose the events?

@fzngagan Is currently working on, and getting close to completing a migration script to transfer events from our plugin to the Discourse Event plugin. You can follow the progress on that here

Create a migration script from Events to Discourse Events

@Rhidian

I’m worried by the implication this version will no longer be supported or developed.

As @nathank mentioned, our poicy for the plugin, as stated in the OP is that we encourage people to consider the other plugin as we won’t be actively developing this plugin. We will be maintaining it in its current state for the foreseeable future, however as we are supporting some specific use cases that are not supported by the other plugin. If that plugin adds support for those use cases we will deprecate this plugin entirely and migrate some folks to the other one, using the migration script that Faiz has been working on.

We use the Discourse Event plugin internally, not this one. Personally, I also think it’s a better plugin from a technical perspective.

@Rhidian

Is there a post of blog comparing the features somewhere?

The closest thing to that is this post of mine

However you’ve added that neat menu for the cooked content. Nice work. Here are some initial thoughts on the current plugin and roadmap.
