Events 05.00.01 has been released! Modified By Ernst Peter Tamminga on 8/14/2009 3:05:41 PM

A major Event has happened!

The Events team is proud to announce that Events 05.00.01 has been released.

The objective of Events release 05.00.01 is:

flexibility in the display and design (templating, themes)
easier distribution of events data via a flexible RSSFeed
a major change in the data and table structure as well, to enable enhancements now and in the future.

This new release covers 94 issues: bugs that have been fixed, functionality that has been changed, enhanced or improved and new features that have been created. Events 05.00.01 will work for any DNN version 4.7.0 and up. Version 05.00.01 is a major release.

A complete list of all issues with some background

EVT-8166	Maximum number enrollments was incorrectly handled for recurring events: the number of recurrences was not taken into account. This has been corrected.
EVT-8194	For occurrences of an event other than the first, event notifications showed the wrong start date. They always showed the date of the first occurrence. Corrected.
EVT-8222	Deletion of last category caused incorrect filtering of events in master/sub calendar situations.
EVT-8233	When an Event was not found in detail view (e.g. because of an existing link to a deleted event), the module did not handle it gracefully.

EVT-7226	Module now sends email to the event owner when enrollment is Approved; Denied; Awaiting approval; Awaiting payment (before PayPal processing); Payment received (after PayPal processing); Payment pending (after PayPal processing); Added by admin/moderator/owner; Deleted by admin/moderator/owner

EVT-7423	There is now an option in Module Settings to set the number of days after which an event is expired. For Events records, this sets them to 'Cancelled' after the time period has elapsed. For EventsRecurMaster, this deletes any where there are no non-Cancelled Events, which then deletes any linked Events. This method ensures that where an Event is recurring, any expired events are retained in the database (but not visible), until all are expired, otherwise they could be re-created when the event is updated.
EVT-7436	Added an RSS feed to Month/List/Day/Week/My Enrollment views. These all provide the same set of data (i.e. not specific to the view).
EVT-7515	Display time or not: can be templated. A new check box has been added under end date in end view. This is ticked by default. If it is unticked, then the end date is hidden in all views.
EVT-7537	Admins can now enroll users. This enabled even if it is a paid for event, on the basis that admins may need to do enroll users if payment has been received by other means
EVT-7640	Allow users/roles to update locations/categories without being a moderator. Enabled through permissions grid in the module settings
EVT-7803	The module now exports Events data in .ics (RFC2445) format, including attendees. To support DST, the module creates a VTIMEZONE that is based on the server time zone. So it will alter times based on the DST of the server. This is best guess for now. There is now support for exporting recurring events, and allows for changes made to individual occurrences of an event. Priorities have been standardized to RFC2445 spec. Low = 9, Medium = 5, High = 9
EVT-7805	The default Reminder From email address can now be different from the portal admin address. The e-mail address can be set via Module Settings
EVT-7900	Added option for Location conflict checking
EVT-7903	It is now possible to copy an existing event to create a new one.
EVT-7929	Event ownership can now be changed, the creator will still be an event editor.
EVT-8221	Recurring events now have individual database records, so they can be manipulated independently
EVT-8494	It is possible to show icons for events (priority, reminder, recurrence, enrollment) selectable for each view. This can be done by a setting to show/hide event image in month- and week view
EVT-8637	Users may now subscribe to be notified when a new event is added to the Event module instance
EVT-8687	Location is added to list/day views
EVT-8719	Possibility select a custom theme from the portal folders in module settings
EVT-9354	For events with a maximum number of enrollments: now shows separate icon when enrollment is full

CHANGES (11)

EVT-7659	Make the module complete XHTML compliant
EVT-7687	The Events tables have been redesigned en enhanced. Referential integrity is applied to database design for Category/Location/SignupID
EVT-7994	In order to simplify the allocation of sub-calendars, two list boxes are used in the same way that columns are selected in Event List view.

EVT-8163	Added LastUpdatedBy/ID to the Events table
EVT-8309	Corrected grammar error in Event Notification dialog box

EVT-9201	Added indexes for foreign keys for performance
EVT-9235	Simplified EventsGetByRange sproc to enable the passing of a filter string which should initially include ModuleID and Category filtering.

Re: Events 05.00.01 has been released! Modified By Roger Selwyn on 6/20/2009 4:02:39 PM

Just a comment to this post....

The upgrade to version 5.0.1 is a very major upgrade!!

Note:- As always with updates of this type please make sure you have a backup prior to upgrade, check for errors carefully on the installation screen (there should be none if all is correct), and validate it is working after the upgrade and that you can see your events.

Please make sure previous DNN framework upgrades have complete successfully. They may not have done if you have AutoUpgrade=False in your web.config. You can check this be running Select * from {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Version in Host/SQL. If the last version numbers shown in the Major/Minor/Build columns aren't the version of DNN you think you are on, then you will have a problem. If the DNN upgrades have not completed, the Events upgrades do not run, and it is vital that they do for the upgrade to be succesful. However be assured, your data is not at risk!!

Note also that there is a bug in DNN 5.0.1 which will cause only the first module instance on a portal to be upgraded (DNN-9561). You can upgrade other module instances by going into the module settings and next to the Red banner click the Re-start Upgrade button (Click once only!). The banner will disappear when the update is complete. You may see errors like the one mentioned here - http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/20/threadid/312804/scope/posts/Default.aspx - prior to clicking the button. Panic not! This is a symptom that the module instance has not been upgraded yet.

The version 5.0.1 upgrade has an incompatability with SQL 2000 databases. Please wait for 5.0.2 before upgrading.

Since the release of 5.01, we have also noted issues upgrading from installations of the module that were orginally installed using versions prior to Events 4.0.0. This is due to 'corruptions' of data and the data model within the database. We have made changes to 5.0.2 which will make this upgrade more reliable. However...

Thanks
Roger
