      Can non-churches use this??

      What changes would make this addon work for a business instead of a church??

      Thank you, Tom

        If you just changed the categories and calendars to match your business it should work for a business. My primary audience in how I am developing this package is for my church and any churches that what to use it. Eventually I will have some more features aimed at how I would like to use it for my church, but this package is not limited to be only for churches.

          First thanks for making Church Events, I think my church is going to use it smiley

          Second, I found a bug that makes it so people can suggest events even if you have have the option set to no:
          index.php line 90:
          	// can people request events?
	if ( $modx->getObject('modSystemSetting',array('key' => 'churchevents.allowRequests')) ) {
		$show_request = true;
		$allow_veiws[] = 'request';
		//echo '<br>Allow Request<br>';
	}


          You have to change it to:
          if ( $modx->getObject('modSystemSetting',array('key' => 'churchevents.allowRequests'))->get('value') ) {

              Can you explain how to remove "categories" and "calendars" from the Church Events Calendar? I would ideally like to have just one calendar available for my site members to which they can submit events, however, from the "manage" link, I can see no way to delete what already exists. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

                I also cant find remove functionality. For now I just deleted them in DB from modx_church_calendar table.

                Josh do you plan support for translations?

                  Apparently I left out a delete option for the calendars/categories. I will put this in the next release.

                  Yes, I plan to properly support translations/internationalization according to: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Internationalization. But I won’t be making the actual translations.

                  Time frame for next release - early April.

                      snippet A:
                      3 weekend events (say, this fri, sat, sun) with
                      -name of the event
                      -link to the event

                      snippet B:
                      3 upcoming "featured" events with
                      -name of the event
                      -link to the event


                      many thanks in advance
