      Fantastic Guys, thanks a mil

      Jeez you mean it was that simple.

      Maybe there’s something to this experience thing after all.

      Luckily I’m not running for president. LOL

        nice tool, thank you for that.
        I really like it and I did a little change in EasyEvents.class.php because the output of the month name on top of the calendar was always english, no matter what language you use.

        I changed
        $monthName = date('F',$time);

        to:
                
        $monthName = date('m',$time);
        $monthName = $this->lang['months'][$monthName];
        


        Another thing is that it does not use the "config[’manager_language’]" which is set to german on my system. As I am still testing with this, I did a german lang file and saved it as english.inc.php for now, but thats not good style at all.

          Hi All-

          Just an FYI - it seemed clear that EE 1.0 had some serious limitations:
          * One category,
          * No sensitivity to doc groups
          * Backend management weirdness
          * Etc.

          So I’ve done a 1.5 (not released quite yet). From the front it looks pretty much the same (see it live). But the backend is COMPLETELY different. I’ve gone the route of using template variables instead. This offers several distinct advantages because each event is a document:
          * "Categories" are just folders
          * You can choose as many category folders as you like by listing their IDs (123,456,789)
          * You can nest categories to arbitrary depth
          * Events are searchable because they’re just docs
          * Events are sensitive to doc groups, so logged in users could potentially see more events than anonymous (needs testing)

          So I’ll be cleaning some things up and trying to get it out to anyone who might like it.

              I’ll release it when I get the queries reduced. There are too many and taking too long at the moment. It’s barely tolerable for me, but I certainly wouldn’t want to unleash it on the community knowing it had some significant performance issues.

              • Maybe the community could peek at what you’ve done and help track down the cause?

                  The "demo" looks nice.

                  I hope that new version will get a &firstDayOfWeek-parameter like CALx.

                    I would just like to ask when the new version perhaps will be available?

                    I don’t want to set someone under pressure undecided But perhaps there is a possibility of releasing a kind of beta-version? Because so many such "projects" did just die, and I think it would be really sad for the pretty good module "Easy Events"(!)

                      I would love to take a look at the new version as well, I have a need for this and would be willing to assist in debugging/adding some features. The performance on your site looks pretty good to me and the site I am working on has a small number of events.

                      If it needs more time though, I understand.
