Event Calendar

I’m pleased to announce Release Candidate 1 of the new EventCalendar version 3.1. This is the product of nearly a year of development and testing.

Main Features

Dynamic Ajax calendar that shows both events and normal blog posts.

List upcoming events, either in the sidebar or on a full page.

Simple to install and use. Create events using a new popup calendar on the post edit page.

Now fully supports WordPress 2.0.

Supports WordPress Widgets, so that you can add events to your sidebar without having to edit PHP files.

Subscribe to your events from iCal, Sunbird, Google calendar and other iCalendar-aware applications.

Fully timezone aware.

Translations available to Dutch, German, Norwegian and Spanish.

Version 3.1 is now basically feature complete. Hopefully this will be the last beta before the stable release. Please remind me on any outstanding bugs that have not been dealt with.

Quite a few things have changed since v3.1._pre15, so expect a few new gremlins have crept in too. Keep your eyes peeled!

Thanks to everyone for their help and support. Special thanks this time to our three translators Gerjan Boer, Marc Schumann and Realf Ording Helgesen, and to Steve Winton.

The translations need correcting now, as I’ve been changing things and adding extra controls. It would be great if you could give them a look over. Anyone else who wants to contribute a translation: go for it! I don’t anticipate that the string list will change very much from now on.
