    Hi,

    We had signed up to help with Beta testing of 4.0, but never received an email notifying us that it had started. We just found out from one of your support reps in another post that the Beta has in fact been up and running for a few days now. Is there a reason we were not chosen to be one of the beta testers? If notifications were supposed to be sent to everyone that had signed up to be a beta tester, it seems you may have a bug in the system, as we did not receive any email (and we routinely check the spam folder too…nothing there either 🙂 )

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Not sure about the notifications, but the beta really just went live this morning.

    You can follow the instructions here to get going:

    http://betas.theeventscalendar.com/

    Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

    Thanks

    Hi Brian,

    There were some notes on the site about the Beta going live last Thursday Nov 5, so glad to hear that we didn’t miss some time.

    Unfortunately, we tried signing up for an account on the beta site this morning, and never received an email with the login credentials (password). We even tried requesting a password reminder, which also says it been sent to our email, but have yet to receive any.

    We’d love to help start testing, but obviously can’t do that if we can’t log in to the beta site (and download the beta code from our account on theeventscalendar.com).

    Please advise. Thank you.

    Yeah. I tried myself and it did not work for me.

    We are looking into the issue now.

    Ok so let me backup on this.

    I thought the beta was a go, but we are waiting on some final testing for it to be stable enough.

    So you have access but the files are not ready yet so that is why no notification has been sent out.

    Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying. We’ll be on the lookout for a notification.

    In the meantime, hoping you can help with one question. We are going to be hiring a 3rd party to do some customizations to TEC, PRO, Filter Bar and Community Events. We were previously informed that there would be some changes coming in 4.0 that would not be backwards-compatible, and that making customization’s based on the current version (3.12) might mean the custom work would be broken when 4.0 is released.

    So, once we are able to access and review the beta for 4.0, would you guys say we’d be just as safe to use that as a starting point for our custom work as waiting for the official 4.0 release? All changes/additions we’d be having done would be via either a child theme or custom plugin. So basically we just want to confirm that, other than bug fixes, there shouldn’t be any changes from the beta codebase to the official 4.0 release that would alter which functions, hooks, etc we would want to target and use to accomplish our changes and additions.

    Thank you,
    Karly

    Hi Karly,

    The 4.0 Beta coding will be pretty close to the release coding. The only thing we would change is bug fixes.

    So if you make customizations it would be a safe point as the templates, hooks, and filters should be set.

    Thanks

    Hi Brian,

    That’s great news that the only changes would be bug fixes. We’ll inform our contractor that we’ll be able to start making customizations as soon as the beta is available.

    Best,
    Karly

    Sounds good.

    Since this is marked resolved I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

    Thanks
