We’re finding that there’s a lot to be learned from talking to your users. As we take the final steps towards launching The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 3.0, it’s more important than ever to find out who our users are, why events are important to them and how we could better help them…
I hope you’ve been enjoying my The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO 3.0 preview posts. If you haven’t checked out our 3.0 preview page or the preview videos so far, they’re listed below and should give you a nice feel of what to expect in terms of new views and settings: I. Week View (April 1, 2013)…
We’re getting closer to kicking off our “week of 1000” translations, in which we’ll be focused exclusively on securing translations for The Events Calendar 3.0, Events Calendar PRO 3.0 and each of the corresponding add-ons that will be released alongside them. This week has officially been scheduled as May 20-27, 2013. The code will be…
Rob La Gatta has an excellent piece up on Code Poet today that walks through the birth of our support system here at Modern Tribe. It’s a great read. Like Thomas Kinkade and Pablo Picasso before him, success in art is defined by crafting an approach that best connects with your patrons. The most beautiful…
We’ve been wondering about what our users are up to and realized, we have a lot of assumptions, but need to see if we are correct. You deserve to have us know rather than guess. If you happen to be having a good day and want to share your story, we’d super duper appreciate it….
We’ve rescheduled the usability test we originally had planned for April 4, and it looks like they’ll instead be taking place next Thursday, April 25. Are you thinking of either renewing an existing license, or upgrading from one type (say, personal) to another (business or developer)? If so, we’d love to talk to you on this…
It’s Tuesday, so you know what that means…another video preview of The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 3.0. Today we focus on something new. So new, in fact, that it hasn’t even been released yet: the impending filters panel add-on (which hasn’t even had time to be given an official, snazzy name). The filters…
It’s a new week, and I’m keeping the preview posts for The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 3.0 coming full force. If you watched my last round you’ll know we ended last week focusing on a marathon 2-part video detailing the “General” settings tab in all its glory. Today, we’re continuing down that path…
We’re shifting gears a bit in today’s videos. All of our previews for The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 3.0 so far have focused on frontend views and how users can engage with them. Today’s begins a brief series that stays mostly behind the scenes, addressing the updated Settings panel in 3.0. The 2-part…
Another week, another round of preview posts centered on The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 3.0. If you watched the series last week, you’ll know that by this point we’ve covered all the new views: week, map and photo. Today’s video shifts gears a bit to a handful of existing views you may already been…
Can’t get enough of The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 3.0 preview posts? You’re in luck. Following hot on the heels of our week view and map view previews, we’ve got a third one today we’re stoked to share: photo view. If you haven’t seen our high-level 3.0 preview, you’d want to take a…
On Monday, we teased a bit more of The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 3.0‘s week view and got some awesome responses from the community as a result of it. To keep up that momentum, today’s preview shifts gears to a new frontend layout that wasn’t an option in the 2.x builds: map view….
Today marks the start to both a new week and a new month. To kick things off in style, and to buck the cliched trend of April Fools posts that arrive 4/1 (want to play a real joke? publish your fake post mid-August), we’re offering up quick preview posts of The Events Calendar / Events…
Hey folks. We’ve scheduled two mini usability tests for next Thursday (April 4), and I wanted to use this post to solicit volunteers. Read on if you’re interested. In the past, our usability tests have been focused on one broad topic per month. We’d get 3-4 users to participate, and spend 45-60 minutes walking through…
Have you heard about WProller yet? A project by Chris Chaudruc that just came together this month, it’s a really slick implementation that caught our eye…and not just because it features The Events Calendar. True to its name, WProller serves one basic purpose: it “rolls” up a ZIP file that includes both a stock WordPress install and…
