We arenāt developing new features for this plugin. Weāve depricated this in favour of the Official Events feature in the discourse-calendar plugin.
I donāt think thereās an agenda style topic list in the official plugin yet.
Does anyone know if thereās a new link that formerly contained the content at https://thepavilion.io/t/subscribing-to-events-ical-and-rss-feeds/2883 has gone?
When this plugin is running in a restricted category, we see:
⦠but the documentation link is broken and generates a 404. I looked around the site in question and here too, but didnāt know if there was some other home for this user instruction.
We moved that topic to a closed category somehow. Need to bring it back to public. Weāll discuss and get back soon.
p.s.
The page should be back now.
Guys, Iāve started working on a migration script from the Events plugin to the Official Discourse Calendar events plugin. Its starting to look good, but I need some feedback to get it to a stage where it is production ready.
Its sitting on a branch migration
currently.
Hereās the info:
Hi @angus. Iām struggling to get an effective side-by-side comparison between of functionality this and the now official Discourse events plugin.
Iāve use your impressive events pluggin on one site and am pleased with how thatās worked. Are they compatible if I migrate from one to the other or will I lose the events?
Iāve recently started another site and Iām wondering whether Iād be better using the official one. Iām on a hosted forum so would need to ask to swap out plugins. Is there a post of blog comparing the features somewhere? Iām worried by the implication this version will no longer be supported or developed.
With good reason - as per Angus in the OP:
We made the move ages ago. Unfortunately the Discourse team has had other priorities and have not been working on the Discourse Events plugin for a while. Many of us are impatiently awaiting some more development as we see the potential!!
Hey @Rhidian,
@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
As @nathankershaw mentioned, our poicy for the plugin, as stated in the OP is that we encourage people to consider the other plugin as we wonāt 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 itās a better plugin from a technical perspective.
The closest thing to that is this post of mine
Another issue is that when you have a lot of people RSVPāing, the css breaks.
This is what I have:
yes indeed. sorry for the noise. please remove if possible. thanks!
@angus does the plugin work with tags and tags intersection?
I will read through while I await your response.
Iāve noticed that the development of the Event features in the Discourse Calendar plugin appears to have stopped. Youāll note that it is now referred to as āalphaā:
While it was looking very promising, and indeed we abandoned this plugin for it, it is missing a couple of key features which really limits its utility. They are:
- Interacting with a userās email calendar via pushing out .ics files
- A richer way of displaying all events.
- General spit and polish
Would you consider reviving this plugin? Or even better, looking at doing some work on Event features in the Discourse Calendar plugin ?
I believe (perhaps naively) that we could raise funds to do this.
I donāt believe we will be doing further work on this plugin but we do definitely have plans to do additional work on the Events piece. I have opened that other topic so that we can continue discussion.
I donāt know if this is a bug or if I am missing some kind of integration, but how is the Subscribe button supposed to work? When I click it I see two (partial) URLs but I am unable to interact with this in any way?
If youāre on the latest version of the plugin and Discourse tests-passed
, when you click the links theyāll be copied to your clipboard. Youāll see a little green flag next to the modal (above it on mobile)

You can see it working here
I see, thank you!
Maybe the mouse pointer needs to change on hover to indicate that this is a possibility?
