Events 1.5.7
Written by Arnan on October 26, 2008 – 4:50 pmYes yes, another update. Some fixes, some internal changes. And we’re slowly progressing to version 1.6. The most important change in this version is that i have removed a check for wordpress tables. This leaves Events a bit more vulnerable since WordPress suppresses errors with all it’s might.
However, i think i’ve got that covered pretty well.
Instead of having Events check if the 2 database tables are still there on every page load it now only checks on the dashboard. If they are not available (removed/unreadable) on the website itself it just says there are no events shown as if everything is normal but there are no events. On the dashboard however it shows some obvious big errors and prevents you from doing anything with Events on the Mange > Events dashboard. Instructions on how to fix it are also shown there.
Some minor bug fixes are also fixed, templates are now properly assigned to the various lists. $cat is now optional for the sidebar, this allows the old behavior without breaking the new options. And apparently when a title for an event was a link and longer than your set limit it broke the sidebar. This also is fixed.
Changelog:
[fix] Template usage for archive and today’s list now works properly
[fix] $cat value now optional for sidebar
[fix] Longer titles as a link no longer breaks the sidebar
[change] Revised auto-removal code to use timezones also
[change] Events and Categories have their own notification on removal now
[change] Events no longer checks for mysql tables on every page load
[change] Checking for tables and error reporting done in the dashboard
[change] Events now uses register_activation_hook() for installation

Hello
Today I updated on the new version. Before it was 0.9.0 (yeah, I didn’t update since I installed it long time ago 
)
My problem: Since I updated I can’t add events as I get the error message “Unknown column ‘title_link’ in ‘field list’ ”
Hope you can help me!

Hi,
Thank you for this upgrade. Is there any possibility to custom the display of the agenda by CSS. I would like to create special display for my events in my sidebar. The code doesn’t allow to create a special CSS class for the . For example :
My eventsEvent test on 30 Nov 2008 10:00 10:00in 30 days and 21:21 hours.
Thank you for this great plugin.

I’m sorry : i see my example code are not supported in comments… I try another way to write for the php code :
<?php echo events_sidebar($amount, $category_ID); ?>
and the HTML
<li><h2>My Events</h2><ul><li>Event Test on 30 Nov 2008 10:00 10:00<br />in 30 days and 21:21 hours.</li></ul></li>

you can use CSS as much as you like, put the classes in your theme css file and use them in the html.
