Bug: Metadata wont save for contributors

[Tryon]

I noticed that for contributors they can not save metadata such as date,time,location. this screencast shows an example http://www.screenr.com/Xors
After reading the code i noticed in The-Events-Calendar/lib/the-events-calendar.class.php
the following
if ( !current_( ‘publish_posts’ ) )
return;
on lines 1368, 1393, 1431
publish_posts is only available to authors and above. I changed the lines to
if ( !current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ ) )
return;
And now metadata is stored when a contributor adds/edits an event.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing, Tryon. This will come in handy as other users come with similar questions and I’ve filed it as an issue for our team to address in a future 2.x build. Thanks man.
