Events Plugin 📅

[tomtjes (Thomas Reintjes)]

The plugin seems to cause an error when updating Discourse:

With the plugin disabled, the update runs as expected.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve pushed a fix for this. Would you mind trying to update now with the plugin installed?

[tomtjes (Thomas Reintjes)]

Thanks for the quick fix, @Angus! I can confirm that it’s working smoothly again.

Just to let you know, the plugin is worth the money!

Hello

Could someone explain to me the effect (and benefit) of this option?

My brain doesn’t understand…

THANKS

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

Yes, it could be explained better.

A recurring event is a “series” of events. When you create a recurring event in an external service connected by this plugin (e.g. Google Calendar) this plugin will import all events in the series (within the import parameters you set).

If you have an automatic topic sync set up for your imported events, this setting determines whether you create one topic for that series of events or multiple. If the setting is enabled, you’ll have one topic for the series that is updated with the next event in the series when the previous one has passed. If the setting is disabled, you’ll have a topic for each event in the series.

But yes, it needs a better description.

Hi Angus, I performed an update on the UKDHC Discourse, following which the Discourse web app was unable to load. After some investigation, it appears that it was the events plugin that caused this. I had to disable the plugin in order for the web app to load again. Can you please investigate andand advise - thanks in advance. François

Angus, on the latest version, there is an issue that can block TC to work (3.5.0.beta2-dev,Theme component have become nonoperative).

I believe it’s related to this change where the mixin has been refactored to a class decorator: DEV: refactor singleton mixin to class decorator by tyb-talks · Pull Request #30498 · discourse/discourse · GitHub.

[joffreyjaffeux]

Thanks @Arkshine, we will be reverting this commit: Revert "DEV: remove singleton mixin (#31823)" by jjaffeux · Pull Request #31857 · discourse/discourse · GitHub

@kelv will re-evaluate the situation later this week.

[kelv (Kelvin T)]

Thanks @joffreyjaffeux for the fix

The error was occurring from here: discourse-events/assets/javascripts/discourse/models/provider.js at b38f3258115110c07951f18e2c3562ac3e68a301 · angusmcleod/discourse-events · GitHub

We deprecated the use of that Singleton mixin at the start of the year. This PR should provide some reference on how to refactor a class to use Singleton as a decorator.

@angus would you be able to take a look? It should be a fairly minimal change, the decorator can be applied on RestModel.

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

Thanks everyone. I’ve updated this plugin to use the singleton decorator.

DEV: switch to singleton decorator usage

@G4sD0c Could you try updating and let me know if your issue is fixed?

[Stephane_Roy]

Hello,

I’m encountering a bug when creating a topic using both the Events plugin and the Location plugin.

The bug is that the topic is created without the date value entered in Events.

Details:

• You can reopen the topic and enter the date.

• If you create a topic without a location, the date is saved correctly.

Discourse version:3.5.0.beta1-dev
(402ec6bf5c)

Events version:0.9.5
c49ec2a

Location version:6.8.2
7eb7be3

Exemple :

Conventions JdR

---

A big THANK YOU for these two plugins that allow me to manage a map and calendar for RPG conventions.

I’m allowing myself to tag @merefield for info

[kelv (Kelvin T)]

@G4sD0c Just a gentle reminder to update the Events Plugin to the latest version that’s compatible with the latest Discourse

[nathank (Nathan Kershaw)]

@G4sD0c’s done that and it is working well.

I’ve noticed another wee issue though - when the Events plugin is installed but not active, it still manages to inappropriately add agenda links to top menus.
