EventCalendar 3.1 Beta

Date

The first public beta release of EventCalendar 3.1 is now available. This is a significant re-write. Event dates are now kept in their own table, so they are seperate from the post date. There is a new Ajax interface on the post edit screen that allows you to set the event date.

Also:

  • Event dates are shown in their own little box at the beginning of event posts.
  • Multi-day events are now supported.
EventCalendar works fine with Wordpress v1.5. From v3.1 it also works with
WordPress 2.

HELP NEEDED! The documentation is getting unwieldy and difficult for newcomers to understand. I'd be massively grateful if someone could volunteer to improve it. Write us a web-site!

Latest version: 3.1.pre15
Released on: 4th October, 2006.

  3. Change settings on the Event Calendar Options screen. You must choose which
    Wordpress category to use for events.
    (Viewing the options screen for the first time also sets up the database,
    and upgrades events from older versions of EventCalendar.)
