Release: The Events Calendar/PRO 2.0.7

[Rob]

Today marks quite a release day here at Modern Tribe: we’ve pushed out The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO 2.0.7, and updates to both our Community Events (1.0.1) and Eventbrite Tickets (1.0.1) add-ons. Even though it’s just a monthly maintenance release, 2.0.7 includes — along with the basic bug fixes — a few new translation files and a couple neat features to tide you over until 2.1. It also is the first release t0 official support our soon-to-launch Facebook Events add-on. 

On that note…you’re going to need 2.0.7 to run any and all of the add-ons released today. Make sure you update accordingly and that you don’t get the new add-on code if you aren’t yet ready to snag 2.0.7.

Release Notes for WordPress Events Calendar 2.0.7:

Small features, UX and Content Tweaks:

• As requested by the masses…added AJAX functionality to mini calendar widget for navigating forward/backward from month to month (PRO only).
• Incorporated “Events” menu to the admin bar, featuring Events-specific options and integrating with Modern Tribe add-ons.
• Added new App Shop link to Events admin menu / admin bar menu to view and download other Modern Tribe plugins & add-ons.
• Added audit info metabox to admin (just enable it by adding define(‘TRIBE_SHOW_EVENT_AUDITING’, true); to your wp-config file).
• Included new Swedish translation files (free & PRO), courtesy of Ben Andersen.
• Included new Spanish translation files (free & PRO), courtesy of Hector at Signo Creativo.

Bug Fixes:

• Google Calendar import now works and truncates appropriately for extremely long event listings (thanks for the fix, Andy Fragen!)
• Fixed settings page slug so as not to break backwards compatibility
• Got rid of a superfluous daily query of events that was running for once-per-day every month-view load, thereby improving overall load speed
• Tweaked a bug where TribeEvents::uglyLink() was missing ‘day’
• A message is now displayed in place of the events-slug boxes when a user does not have pretty permalinks enabled.
• Next/previous links no longer navigate in order of event ID when pretty permalinks are disabled.
• Contributors are now able to create recurring events.
• Fixed an issue with single quotes getting converted to funky characters upon saving on Additional Fields and other Settings –> The Events Calendar tabs.
• Addressed various other bugs with the Additional Fields tab in Settings –> The Events Calendar. 
• Tiny patch to help integrate with the Duotive theme.
• Fixed category rewrite slug issue that occurred with certain permalink structures.

Thanks again to everyone who helped identify a bug or provide a translation file for this release. If you notice any issues that we missed in this latest code, let us know.

How do you implement the new Mini Cal features. I tried removing the widget and re-adding it, but its still works the same way, not seeing the new AJAX functionality?

[Andy Fragen]

@Rob, I only get a notification to upgrade to EC 2.0.7, nothing yet for ECP 2.0.7. Yes, my license is entered and is valid. 😉
How long should I have to wait for it to ‘push’ through?

[Robert]

I’m getting a red warning after upgrading saying “Your version of Events Calendar Pro requires version 2.0.6 or higher of The Events Calendar (you are currently running 2.0.7). Visit help for more information”. I have a valid pro licence so I’m not sure why?

[javier]

I’ve just installed the new version 2.0.7 and it has ruined my theme… I’ve been one month customizing my website and now the changes have been deleted and the yootheme widget options don’t even appear! Could you please explain it to me?? I’m very stressed, I need to solve this AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Please, give me the solution.

[javier]

Hi again, don’t worry, it wasn’t a problem with the plugin… sorry for my stress, I’ve lost a lot of work because of my hosting support :/ You’re still the best support team for me! 😉

Eventhough I lost my custom templates and css files, the update replaced my custom file… can I replace them with my backup 2.0.6.??

Thanks friends! Regards, Javier.

Same problems as Andy and Robert here

[Rob]

Thanks for the notes here, guys. Apologies that it took me a little time to get you a response here.

Jason: this should just be a matter of removing/re-adding the mini calendar widget, it the change isn’t automatic. You will need PRO 2.0.7 active for this to work. You also may want to resave your permalinks. Let me know if that doesn’t yield anything.

Andy: we’ve found that the update nag for PRO sometimes takes as long as 48 hours to hit a user. (The highest I’ve ever seen is 24 hours on my end). If you want to download it immediately you can just go to Account Central -> Downloads here on the site and snag it straight there.

Robert/Bob: this happens if you upgrade PRO without updating free. Has the update prompt appeared and resolved this yet?

Javier: man, that sucks. I’m sorry to hear about that and am relieved to hear that this was hosting-related. If you backed up in 2.0.6 and restore from that into 2.0.7, it should bring you back to where you want to be. Let us know if that’s not the case, though.

[Bob]

Our Plugins list says we have 2.0.7 of free and 2.0.6 of Pro. I didn’t perform the upgrade myself, so I’m assuming another one of our admins did. Still no update prompt for Pro.

[Robert]

Hi Rob, all seems to be ok now. I didn`t upgrade pro without upgrading the free version as you said. I only got a notice for the FREE calendar update and upon doing that the error message appeared. The pro upgrade notice came through about a day later. It seems fine though.

[Bob]

So, since you guys are responding to my other threads… any idea how to proceed here? We still have 2.0.7 Free and 2.0.6 Pro and the aforementioned error message.

[Rob]

Hey Bob: thanks for the heads up. You can always manually download the latest release (immediately upon it’s release) from the tri.be website, by logging in and going to Account Central -> Downloads. Click Events Calendar PRO and it will automatically download whatever the latest release in the system may be.

You shouldn’t have to do that, though…there should be a prompt on the backend of your site by now. The only reason there wouldn’t be is if the license key isn’t entered/validated. That possible?

Robert: thanks for confirming. Glad to hear you’re all set here now. I’m going to keep playing around with the messaging there to see if we can make it clearer, since I can see how the configuration as you’ve reported is confusing.

[Bob]

Manually installed. Presumably the license key is valid if I’m able to download and install, no?

[Rob]

The license key is valid, definitely. But if you don’t have it plugged into the backend of the site (and verified with the green date confirming when it expires) the update prompt won’t appear on your plugins list or anywhere else on the backend. It possible that’s the cause?

[Bob]

Not sure if that was the cause originally. I thought I had seen the key there before, but key and green message are definitely in place now. I’ll guess we’ll see what happens on next update.
