Events Manager Update 2

An update. There's a form to submit an event. It will only show up to those who are logged in, or I'll make that an option. Haven't done much this past week, but my plan is as follows:

  1. Remove unneeded files. (These were left in, so I can have a reference and support non-oop functions)
  2. RSS syndication as in give Events Manager an RSS feed of events to show.
  3. The widget and it's options
  4. Speaking of options: Clean up options. Because there are now templates, the formatting options are not needed for the event page itself.
Thanks and check out the github: http://github.com/elizabethcb/Events-Manager

  1. I'm running WPMU as well and have been using EM since our site's re-launch last June. I'll be happy to do some testing on our dev version, as the recurring events input just fubared with the upgrade to 2.9.1.

    I had hacked a way to allow unsubscribed visitors to post events for review (to a separate holding table) and approval. Basically, store the data in the other table, pull it out with an admin page, review and submit or delete from there. Pretty straightforward, really. Any chance of something like that getting in there?

  2. I am not a coder. I can pick and hunt PHP a little bit but quickly get scared and run for cover. I love the original version of this plugin but it has limitations to the basic interface that I would love to over come.

    First, its widget will only display All events, Future Events, or Past Events. You can't have it post under different headings Future Events and Past Events.

    This same limitation occurs in the event listings page. I would love to be able to list both the Upcoming events and the past events so that an archive of those events are maintained.

    Is this functionality something you plan to add to your code or is ther a simple way to do it that I am missing with the original?

  3. Installed on WP 2.9 and when I activate it, I get 'invalid header' and can proceed no further.
