Events 04.01.00: Beta version available Modified By Ernst Peter Tamminga on 1/24/2009 2:43:10 PM

A near Christmas event for the Events beta testers: the first beta of DNN Events 04.01.00 is available in www.DNNEvents.net for registered users.

In this version 62 (!!) issues are covered. Most of these improvements are directly in line with the scope we have defined for of this version:

flexibility in the display and design (templating, themes),
easier distribution of events data (extensive RSSFeed)
a huge improvement on the data and table structure

The preliminary release notes as well as a download version of this beta can be found on www.DNNEvents.net, a special site for the DNN Events module. You have to register yourself on the site in order to be able to access the download..

What can you do?

Please be aware that this version contains on a lot of code and table structure changes. Download the current Events Beta and try it in a test environment, do not use it for production purposes. If you find any issues, post your findings in this forum, so the Events team and others can benefit from your experiences. We are all volunteers!

What's next?

The Events team will try to fix issues as soon as possible and create a new beta when it seems fit.

There is a small team working on the first real user manual for the Events module. Some progress is made and we hope that there will be more progress in the upcoming weeks. If you want to join the Documentation team: please write me an e-mail: ernstpeter.tamminga@dotnetnuke.com.

Re: Events 04.01.00: First Beta available

The preliminary release notes for this version:

BUG FIXES (16)

EVT-7296	Events Module CSS class: all !important arguments removed
EVT-8096	Viewing of sub-calendars via master calendar now obeys permissions applied to sub-calendar
EVT-8139	Event titles did not break on a new line in day cell of month view (Firefox only)
EVT-8166	Maximum number enrollments was incorrectly handled for recurring events: the number of recurrences was not taken into account. This has been corrected.
EVT-8194	For occurrences of an event other than the first, event notifications showed the wrong start date. They always showed the date of the first occurrence. Corrected.
EVT-8222	Deletion of last category caused incorrect filtering of events in master/sub calendar situations.
EVT-8233	When an Event was not found in detail view (e.g. because of an existing link to a deleted event), the module did not handle it gracefully.
EVT-8269	Tooltips were displayed even when disabled and Disable Month View Cell Events was selected
EVT-8345	When the date/time of event was changed, any prior notifications didn't have the Event DateTime updated
EVT-8427	The selected Events theme was not applied to Event Detail when the details were set to open in a new page
EVT-8461	Firefox only: Borders in the listview could not be hidden by the CSS theme
EVT-8476	If an invalid email address was entered on the detail view in the Notify me box, it was errored but still added to the database for notification
EVT-8524	Purchase link was sometimes not visible in IE because the height was hardcoded
EVT-8525	PayPal payment errors were not being recorded correctly resulting in blank data being added to database.
EVT-8598	Removed hard-coded borders in week view

ENHANCEMENTS (18)

EVT-5679	Events module: Optionally remove time functionality from display/data entry, Added new check box to mark an event as all day. This sets the start time to 00:00 and end time to 23:59. Also hides time in all view displays, not in the edit display.
EVT-5693	Recurrence pattern and end date can now be displayed in List/Day view, and collapsed to single line for recurring events.
EVT-6996	"Enroll for this event" is now visible for users who aren't logged in. The link now says 'Login to enroll for this event' when the user is not logged in.
EVT-7285	The color settings for Event categories are now used in all views
EVT-7415	Multiple instances of the Events module on single page will now allow different themes for every instance
EVT-7674	Week view now has date navigation control in the same way that Month View does
EVT-7077	Skinable menu toolbar
EVT-8003	Added sorting and paging capability to List View with default setting in the Module Settings
EVT-8121	Removed the dependency of 2 connection strings in web.config, the Events module now uses only the standard DNN database connection string
EVT-8169	Visibility of detail of optional sections in Edit Events is now controlled by client side script to reduce post backs and improve user experience
EVT-8260	Users can now chose their individual notification time and request notifications for all individual events of a recurring event
EVT-8317	All optional module settings now perform the same way, including the recurrence section.
EVT-8398	Day View can now optionally be opened in a new page
EVT-8399	Enhance input validation
EVT-8404	EventDetails: shows last date and amount of events if its a series
EVT-8454	It is now possible to individually select the allowed views for the module
EVT-8594	Event title/details can be replace by a message defined in setting page for anonymous users and for event editors (for events of other editors). moderators/admins see all event details.
EVT-8763	Added setting to set Send Reminder default to True or False for all events in that module

NEW FEATURES (21)

EVT-5678	Template all display of Events with the DNN TokenReplace functionality
EVT-7226	Module now sends email to the event owner when enrollment is Approved; Denied; Awaiting approval; Awaiting payment (before PayPal processing); Payment received (after PayPal processing); Payment pending (after PayPal processing); Added by admin/moderator/owner; Deleted by admin/moderator/owner
EVT-7227	A configurable list of enrolled users can be displayed on the Detail View
EVT-7228	Emails are now sent to event enrollees on all enrollment events
EVT-7230	Font color can now be set for category and category colors appear in all views
EVT-7386	The display of details of an event changed to a templated format. The TokenReplace functionality can be used to fill the template with data. The admin can define the template for that module instance and/or as default for all details displays on that portal.
EVT-7387	The e-mail messages can be templated, so that the Admin can define the message as a whole
EVT-7423	There is now an option in Module Settings to set the number of days after which an event is expired. For Events records, this sets them to 'Cancelled' after the time period has elapsed. For EventsRecurMaster, this deletes any where there are no non-Cancelled Events, which then deletes any linked Events. This method ensures that where an Event is recurring, any expired events are retained in the database (but not visible), until all are expired, otherwise they could be re-created when the event is updated.
EVT-7436	Added an RSS feed to Month/List/Day/Week/My Enrollment views. These all provide the same set of data (i.e. not specific to the view).
EVT-7515	Display time or not: can be templated. A new check box has been added under end date in end view. This is ticked by default. If it is unticked, then the end date is hidden in all views.
EVT-7537	Admins can now enroll users. This enabled even if it is a paid for event, on the basis that admins may need to do enroll users if payment has been received by other means
EVT-7640	Allow users/roles to update locations/categories without being a moderator. Enabled through permissions grid in the module settings
EVT-7803	The module now exports Events data in .ics (RFC2445) format, including attendees. To support DST, the module creates a VTIMEZONE that is based on the server time zone. So it will alter times based on the DST of the server. This is best guess for now. There is now support for exporting recurring events, and allows for changes made to individual occurrences of an event. Priorities have been standardized to RFC2445 spec. Low = 9, Medium = 5, High = 9
EVT-7805	The default Reminder From email address can now be different from the portal admin address. The e-mail address can be set via Module Settings
EVT-7903	It is now possible to copy an existing event to create a new one.
EVT-7929	Event ownership can now be changed, the creator will still be an event editor.
EVT-8221	Recurring events now have individual database records, so they can be manipulated independently
EVT-8494	It is possible to show icons for events (priority, reminder, recurrence, enrollment) selectable for each view. This can be done by a setting to show/hide event image in month- and week view
EVT-8687	Location is added to list/day views
EVT-8637	Users may now subscribe to be notified when a new event is added.
EVT-8719	Possibility select a custom theme from the portal folders in module settings

CHANGES (7)

EVT-7659	Make the module complete XHTML compliant
EVT-7687	The Events tables have been redesigned. Referential integrity is applied to database design for Category/Location/SignupID
EVT-7994	In order to simplify the allocation of sub-calendars, two list boxes should be used in the same way that columns are selected in Event List view.
EVT-7997	Reworked the Add Event form. Updated recurrence section to show/hide the Period/Weekly/Monthly/Annual dependant on selected option.
EVT-8163	Added LastUpdatedBy/ID to the Events table
EVT-8309	Corrected grammar error in Event Notification dialog box
EVT-8401	Selected Date and Culture are no longer passed to vCal processing since each event recurrence is now uniquely identified.
EVT-8718	In order to protect against installation on a non-compatible version of DNN the CompatibleVersion parameter is adding to the PA manifest.
