Is this something in relation to your plugin?

This is a fantastic plugin - the best event management plugin for WordPress that I have seen!

I wonder if you could help me with a couple of things…

I am looking into setting up this plugin, and ideally managing events in a category hierarchy. e.g. I would have a top level ‘Events’ category, and an arbitrary number of sub-categories beneath that. I have had a certain amount of success with this setup. When I choose the ‘Events are normal posts option’ in the EventCalendar admin page, then this works fine. I can ‘drill down’ into the event sub-categories and only display events that pertain to the sub-category I am looking at - excellent!

However, I really want to use the ‘Keep Events Separate’ option - so my events do not appear in the feed for the site etc. With this option enabled however, I get a SQL error thrown when trying to drill down into the sub-categories:

ERROR 1054 : Unknown column ‘ec3post2cat.categoryid’ in ‘where clause’

Any idea where this error is coming from? This would be a really powerful feature, I think, and I’d love to get it working. I’m a fairly competent programmer and I’ll happily try and debug it, if you could give me some pointers first!

Also - I’m sure this has been asked before, but are there any plans to implement recurring events? I see there is the ‘rpt’ column in wpec3schedule, but as far as I can see this isn’t implemented anywhere. Any plans for this?

Many thanks for your excellent work, Steve

Oh, I am using WP version 2.0.4 BTW!

I am looking at the code now, and if I can come up with a patch I will send it to you, but I thought I’d post here first just in case :-)

Thanks a bunch.
