Hello,

I'm the guy that requested the ability to push events from a subscriber list. I know this feature is not incorporated into the upcoming release.

I've created a console application (C#) that performs this function. I've used the logic that's built into the 4.x Events module for pulling upcoming events within my desired range. I'm especially dependent on this logic for pulling recurring events.

My question is, has the data model for events storage changed such that this logic is no longer valid?

Hi Chris,

The answer is yes, and no. Yes the data model has changed. In 4.0.2, all occurences of a recurring event stemmed from one record in the Events table. This made manipulating a single occurence impossible. In 5.0.0, this has been changed, in that we have added a new table EventsRecurMaster, where there is a single record for an event series. In the Events table there is now a record for each occurence, meaning they can now be changed/deleted individually.

But the good news is that each event in the Events table should now look like a one time event to your old recurrence logic, so you shouldn't have to change your code (substantially). They will have a RepeatType of N. I can't say that this will continue into the future for ever, because clearly we will need to tidy up in the end, but it should give you a good long period of transition, since we can expect the next major release to be a good few months after the current one makes it through the release process.

You can always look at the new version (and its data model) by downloading from www.DNNEvents.net. You can also find some details on the change here - http://www.thedivingclub.co.uk/Information/DNNBlog/tabid/368/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/97/Recurring-Events-A-Major-Update.aspx

Cheers

Great!

I appreciate the response. I'll d/l the data model. This should greatly simplify my event retrieval logic.
