Plugin Eventi 📅

[fzngagan (Faizaan Gagan)]

Guys, I’ve 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.

Here’s the info:

Create a migration script from Events to Discourse Events

@angus

Please take a moment to consider whether the new Event features in the Discourse Calendar plugin made by the Discourse team are right for you. If they meet your needs, we recommend using that plugin. You should only use this plugin if you’ve already first considered Discourse Calendar.

Hi @angus. I’m struggling to get an effective side-by-side comparison between of functionality this and the now official Discourse events plugin.

I’ve use your impressive events pluggin on one site and am pleased with how that’s worked. Are they compatible if I migrate from one to the other or will I lose the events?

I’ve recently started another site and I’m wondering whether I’d be better using the official one. I’m on a hosted forum so would need to ask to swap out plugins. Is there a post of blog comparing the features somewhere? I’m 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,

@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

Pavilion

@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

[Rhidian (Rhidian Bramley)]

Thanks @angus That’s very helpful.

[nicopace (Nicolás Pace)]

Another issue is that when you have a lot of people RSVP’ing, the css breaks.
This is what I have:

[fzngagan (Faizaan Gagan)]

I think you intended to post it to 🗓 Discourse Event

[nicopace (Nicolás Pace)]

yes indeed. sorry for the noise. please remove if possible. thanks!

[Marvelxy (Marvelous Akpotu)]

@angus does the plugin work with tags and tags intersection?

I will read through while I await your response.

[nathank (Nathan Kershaw)]

I’ve noticed that the development of the Event features in the Discourse Calendar plugin appears to have stopped. You’ll note that it is now referred to as ‘alpha’:

@vinothkannans

Events

Currently an events feature is live in the plugin, but consider it in alpha state. For more information on Events see Discourse Event

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:

1. Interacting with a user’s email calendar via pushing out .ics files
2. A richer way of displaying all events.
3. 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.

[HAWK]

I don’t 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.

Non so se si tratti di un bug o se mi manca qualche tipo di integrazione, ma come dovrebbe funzionare il pulsante Iscriviti? Quando ci clicco sopra vedo due URL (parziali) ma non sono in grado di interagire in alcun modo?

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

Se sei sull’ultima versione del plugin e Discourse tests-passed, quando fai clic sui collegamenti verranno copiati negli appunti. Vedrai una piccola bandierina verde accanto alla finestra modale (sopra di essa su mobile)

[RGJ (Richard - Communiteq)]

Capisco, grazie!

Forse il puntatore del mouse dovrebbe cambiare al passaggio del mouse per indicare che questa è una possibilità?

Questo plugin sta compromettendo l’anteprima della risposta

Post Preview not working because of events plugin

In my case the instance is using the Default theme.

[OldRoutard]

@vincentp

il plugin sta rompendo l’anteprima della risposta

… e altre funzioni, quando la risposta / il post è stato avviato facendo clic sul pulsante grigio “Rispondi” di un post precedente.
@angus , @fzngagan Grazie per quello che potete fare!

[kday (Kira Day)]

Ho anche lo stesso problema su una categoria pubblica. Questo è tutto ciò che vedo: nessun pulsante di iscrizione è visibile. Ho provato anche da altri account.

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

Ciao @kday, quello è uno screenshot di questo plugin (un plugin diverso)

Ciao a tutti, mi sembra che questo plugin stia attualmente bloccando il caricamento delle immagini - (con scuse in caso di diagnosi errata) - Ammetto che stavo usando la versione di angusmcleod/discourse-events su GitHub piuttosto che quella di paviliondev.discourse-events, quindi potrebbe semplicemente trattarsi di una versione non aggiornata?

Composer si blocca su “Elaborazione caricamento” - supporto - Discourse Meta

@jerry0

npaviliondev.discourse-events

Stavo / stavo usando la versione /paviliondev/discourse-events e ha interrotto la funzionalità di caricamento delle immagini del composer (o dovrei dire che l’ultima versione di Discourse si è interrotta contro il plugin events.) Si prega di consigliare.

Composer stalls on "Processing Upload" when using events plugin

We are currently unable to upload files (mainly, we paste images) into a post. The composer stalls on “Processing Upload” and spins forever… [image] I have tried rebooting, and rebuilding the app, but it doesn’t fix the problem. I’ve also tried searching here but can’t find a previous question like this? I’d be grateful for some support on this. Thank you!

Ora sto tornando alla versione 2.9.0.beta8 invece che alla 2.9.0.beta9, testato su altri ambienti, la versione 2.9.0.beta8 e il plugin events insieme consentono nuovamente il caricamento di immagini tramite il Composer WYSIWYG.
