Ok ok… Last night turned up to be a sloppy update! 
I have patched the installer and my tests here show it to work properly this time.
Please download the 1.5.1 update which fixes just that. Also this should prevent WordPress from going nuts on re-activating the plugin!
Some limitation in the $wpdb class prevented the queries from properly working i think.

A fresh install of 1.5.1 (no previous version ever installed) generates the following error when trying to create an event:
Unknown column ‘title_link’ in ‘field list’
Sounds to me you have had Events installed before… I have checked the install routine, the field is present.
however, use this query to add the field:
Thanks for the quick response. I got it working after dropping the tables and reinstalling your plugin.
I wonder how hard it would be to add a recurring event status checkbox to this plug in. I have lots of birthdays that I like to keep track of but can’t imagine having to type them each in every year. Any ideas?
obviously adding a checkbox isn’t hard. but creating a flexible, solid script to tell wordpress how many times and in which interval the event returns is a whole different story.

You said to Arnan “use this query to add the field:” I’m having the same symptoms. Can you be more specific? How/Where do I use that query? Thanks.
Oops.. (I meant.. you said to CHRIS)
Bob, if you have upgraded you should take a look at the upgrade instructions: http://meandmymac.net/plugins/events/#upgrade
otherwise you can “uninstall” from the settings > events page and re-activate it from plugins.
I don’t see how you can get this error on a new install so you must be upgrading …
hi, when I updated events a few things went weird. 1 the date looks like this %date% and 2 it’s requiring me to create categories and then giving me an error since categories are an unknown field. can you help me please, this is by far one of the coolest plugins.
thx
DeAnne: once more… Read the manual!!

Help?!? I got everything working except when I go to add the widget, it won’t save. In other words, when I go to Design/Widgets and add the Events widget to my sidebar, then click “Save Changes”, it doesn’t add the widget – it sends it back to the available list! any ideas? I REALLY need to use this! Thanks in advance.
events_list seems to have been renamed to events_page.
Might want to update that on the instructions page.
Plug-in works great though, thanks a lot.
nope, the tag is the same… tested on 3 separate blogs. Checked in the code. However, the function used by that tag is called events_page() but you don’t use that…
BKMcD: How about editing the event, and click a 2nd button that saves it as a new event. All you’d have to do is change maybe the description and date and click that new button… Voila!
I realize it’s not really ‘recursive events’ but it is somewhat of what you describe. I’ll keep it in mind… maybe for the next release.
