[plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_event [flexible integrated event management]

damienbuckley · 2008-02-13 04:20:08

I’ve used the plugin on several sites to now with no problems so I’m assuming its a 4.0.6 issue but I’ll report back once I’ve given 4.0.5 another go. Bit dismal in Brissy today.

— Updated 15/02/08 —

Not working in 4.0.5 either – even stranger, no longer working on my other machine which previously it had worked fine on. Any progress or ideas from anyone else – notice a few people have posted same problem. I know its a daft suggestion but could this be date related? Just seems strange that it was working previously and now its not – in my case anyway.

Is this plugin still in development?

rsilletti · 2008-03-01 21:30:01

It has been some time since there was a new commit, clearly prior to the 4.0.6 release (july 2007). My participation was limited to an auto delete mod that has been obsoleted by the addition of an expire mod in crockery (it really wasn’t the best idea to begin with).
I don’t know how Matt & Patrick feel about this but it may be time to toss this up either for community development, which I believe was thier intent here, and get something working available, or close this and call it not supported.

Hello, please!

I need this plugin badly. I used it in my old site, with TXP 4.0.4. And that was fine. Now I need to use it with TXP 4.0.6 and now I see there’s a couple of troubles with this version.

Somebody can do something for it? I think I’m not the only one who need this plugin.

Thanks in advance.

Robhert.

this plugin is a crucial piece of functionality for Txp and it’d be great if it could be mentored along like zem_contact_reborn – and some dollars sent its way

using the article date field to work with events or date-limited information is difficult to implement and twice as confusing for the content authors who follow

PS the plugin is working on a 4.0.6 install on a local server here, but to be honest not sure what combination of files I’ve installed to get it going

If someone could at least hack it to work with 4.0.6 that would be great. I think it was put on Google Code so it could be maintained by the community.

Guess it doesn’t need it’s own jQuery now anyway.

This has been on community support mode. Basically zem’s involvement ended after he delivered the plugin and instead of just keeping it for himself Matthew decided to make it available so that others could keep building on it. There currently isn’t an official maintainer.

I was able to successfully install it in a new 4.0.6 install so the empty plugin errors are not related to the plugin. It doesn’t however seem to work for me so something is busted. I don’t use this plugin so i don’t know if I am the best person to look at it as I don’t really know what it did and what it didn’t do in order to identify what is failing.

If anyone wants commit access to the google code repo let me know. Or we can move it to something like launchpad.

We really need to know one way or another what’s happening with this plugin – the lack of response isn’t reflecting well on those involved. If extra cash is required to get this finished and / or fixed then lets hear how much and something can be done but to basically abandon it is not good at all. Anyone got anything to add regards the ‘Badly formed or empty plugin code’ installation error code?

Edit – just seen Hak’s comment – sorry, wasn’t aware that was the case. That said, at its core its a good plugin, the functionality of which isnt really available elsewhere, so what do we need to do to get it going and resolve the installation / minical issues etc?

Also happy to contribute…

Bloke · 2008-03-03 00:11:50

fwiw, I’m using the minical on a 4.0.5 site and it works pretty well. When I go through the upgrade procedure to 4.0.6 I’ll probably hit the same issues as everyone else. And since this plugin is so cool I’ll probably end up fixing it.

Can’t say when that’ll be — got a lot on right now — and whether me dabbling with it constitutes official maintenance is another thing entirely. I seem to recall it was pretty devious stuff when I last poked under the hood so might still be beyond my level of competency at PHP. Of course if someone else was willing to lend a hand then we could get this thing rockin again…

Bloke – This plugin is complex and in some elements a bit above my skill level, but I did become familiar enough with the internal workings that I may be able to help somewhat. My time won’t free up for a few days (seasonal work) after that I’ll have some to offer.
