commercial plug-in request event calendar

Exiladler · 2007-01-06 23:44:08

Have ‘solved’ the issue for the moment with a combination of

rss_suparchive and smf_eventarticle

which allows to publish future dated events/articles. Works for us so far as it cover our current requirements.

Peter,
Good stuff. I hope we can unload the plugin soon. I’m waiting on hearing back from Team Textpattern shortly.

What will the difference be between jmc_event_manager and this new plugin?

It looks to be a bit more feature-rich, and less directly focused on band gigs (a drawback of the original, IMO). It’s worth noting, however, that development of jmc_event_manager appears to have resumed.

I imagine both plugins will find their own audiences. With one being commercial and the other free, I’m sure Joel’s plugin won’t lack for users. :-)

Logoleptic,
I’ve probably not been the clearest in this forum for want of making it clear that this plugin needs support, but this plugin will be released with a GPL (if I remember correctly) license. I have been raising support for the development of the plugin. It will be commercial, in the sense that it will be high zuit! :)

Mattmikulla,
The plugin has its own interface in the “write” tab (below) it. So that its not dependent on custom fields for instance. It comes complete with an extensive list of tags and display possibilities. I imagine that once released, we may see some variations or some extensions, per people’s specific needs. We’ll see?

I have asked for an initial release within the month. Any donations to support the final amount will make the release come sooner.

Whoops! Between the subject of the thread and Team Textpattern advertising their commercial services, I appear to have gotten mixed up.

Logoleptic,
Take that wallet back out! :)
We still need financial support to get this plugin released. It will be well worth it, I promise. If you think you benefit from this plugin for commercial purposes (ie: a client), please consider donating.

You can contact me directly for information.

Thanks,

Matthew

Will it output articles that have can have their own page or will it just list all events in order wherever a tag is placed?

If I am not mistaken, jmc_event_manager can’t create individual articles.

squaredeye · 2007-01-08 18:57:38

Matt,
Events are tied to articles, so that events in the grid calendar can have permlink urls, among other benefits. The full exploitation will come when more folks can look at it after release.

Update:
We are close to having this plugin ready for a beta release. I expect it to be ready within the next two weeks.
I am in need of the following:

1) someone/people to help me tackle documentation.

2) more donors. We have about $400 to go before the plugin payed for.

Donations can now be made at artiswork.org/donations

For those who donate more than $50 I will supply a pre-release version to test and play with to your hearts content, understanding that distribution will not be allowed until the official release.

NOTE THE UPDATE ABOVE for contributions

Update 2:

The plugin is ready to be released:
the added functionality are:

mini summary calendar
pagination for event lists
basic recurring events

The outstanding balance for the plugin is ~~$270~~ ~~$245~~ ~~$240~~ $70. We could be moments away from a beta release.
I promise you all this plugin is SO worth it! :)

Please visit artiswork.org/donations to contribute so we can release this puppy!
See the attached screenshots to get you excited:

The UI that exists below the write fields

Matthew,

Do you have screen shots of a working calendar?

squaredeye · 2007-01-19 02:29:19

Bert,
You can find several itterations here
although, this one hasn’t been updated with pagination for lists or a mini calendar.

Donated.

Matthew, please specify the plugin’s license. There’s a notable track record of paid-for plugins which were left orphaned after the initial release so it would be helpful that the license allows a third party to continue development a such a case.

Rob,
Thanks. We’re getting there.
