Events Plugin šŸ“†

Iā€™d also like to able to filter events by tags. If you use the nav bar tag filter, it works only for the agenda view, not for the calendar and maps view. :frowning:
But thatā€™s really complaining on a high level. Iā€™ve just used the plugin on my site for the first time and its fantastic!

Edit: even better, if you could also negate tags, for instance ā€œshow me all events except those tagged ā€˜panel-discussionā€™ā€. And then the question becomes, can you do that with combinations of multiple tags? And could it also work for calendar subscriptions?

All good suggestions!

If you could make a formal feature request (and get @outofthebox and a couple of others to vote for it) I can add it into my workflow.

Feature Request (requires an account on my sandbox)

This great plugin has recently been installed over at https://community.coops.tech and I came here to ask that the date format be customisable, so very happy to discover it already is, thanks! :smiley:

I guess Iā€™ll now just ask our admins to change it! :stuck_out_tongue:

There is an issue with the MIME type in the webcal generated link that prevents calendar from displaying events when imported into Office 365 calendar (Google calendar displays the events regardless).

Hereā€™s the report from the validator:

Invalid MIME type detected, should be ā€˜text/calendarā€™ (found MIME type ā€˜text/plain; charset=utf-8ā€™) near line # 1
Reference: RFC 5545 8.1. iCalendar Media Type Registration

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

Hi @angus, it seems to work very well. I have some extra feature requests:

EDIT : I have created some feature requests on Angusā€™ Sandbox for these proposals as suggested by @Ellibereth:

Hope they are clear enough, thank you for the work!

Glad to hear @jdaviescoates! Let us know how it goes!

Weā€™ll take a look at this @md-misko - in the interim can you submit a bug report?

Iā€™m not 100% sure, will check and get back to you.

Hey @Globulle, these are great ideas. Would you mind submitting feature requests for them? Link us to them here so we can go vote for them!

https://community.coops.tech/ now has much clearer dates, thanks! (and Iā€™m now and admin too, so can tweak further if I so choose! :stuck_out_tongue: )

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

I tried to register on the Sandbox but I couldnā€™tā€”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?

Thanks @Globulle :+1:

Sorry about that @md-misko, I think this was a case of Outlook not behaving well with certain email services - Iā€™ll check with angus but Iā€™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.

This has been slotted to be worked on in a couple of weeks per https://discourse.angusmcleod.com.au/t/add-event-reminders/879.

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 ā€œdiscourse-eventsā€?
here follows the errors:

After this commit the issue should no longer appear:

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) wouldnā€™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

Note that if you were affected by this bug, even after the update you may still be having an issue with the ā€œAgendaā€ topic list (the rest of the functionality is unaffected by this particular issue). Iā€™ve made a PR to Discourse to address this secondary issue.
