Published on: September 13,2017

EventON 2.6 version update is now up for grabs from codecanyon https://codecanyon.net/item/eventon-wordpress-event-calendar-plugin/1211017/ Along with this we have already released updates to ActionUser, RSVP and Tickets addon. Lets see what all was new with this big number updates!

What’s new in 2.6

Event Tiles

2.6 have a lot of fixes for eventon that were nagging users and we took the time to address those issues. The biggest addition is the tiles layout with image and event details under the tile box.

 

Loader Bar

Calendar load bar is now cooler than ever before with knight-ride KITT like animated loading bar!

 

Location and organizer are now supported officially via shortcode generator for filtering events. Apart from this there are several code improvements and additions that have been done in 2.6 to support speed improvement to calendar and for future extensions.

 

ActionUser 2.1

Event submission form is now generated using AJAX and so is the eventmanager, which use AJAX to load the form into page — adding a much needed improvements to user experience. This update also have several other bug fixed as well.

 

RSVP 2.5.13

This update to RSVP have lot of bugs addressed, there is not any major improvements. One of the biggest improvement is download attendees CSV file is now open to pluggable functions to add other RSVP fields into CSV file. But we are hoping to make improvements to RSVP in the coming months.

 

Tickets 1.6

We have re-designed the successfully added to cart message with a more subtle design. Tickets can now show the next available event with tickets on the eventCard (for repeating events with ticket sales) You can also set your custom WC ticket product title name structure from settings. This was a setback for several of our customers in the past, not being able to customize the ticket product title — now you can set it to always use same structure.

Apart from this there are several actionUser integration updates and bug fixes comes with tickets 1.6

What’s Next?

We are so glad to have gotten this update out of the door, as I know several of you guys were waiting for the updates. We have done hours and hours of testing on these updates and really hope we covered all the bugs.

Now that these updates are out of the way, we are going to be working on several new and amazing addons that we were holding off on during these updates. To give a sneak peek into what we are working on: We are going to expand our reach into ticket sales side of things for eventON and really going to push for advanced ticket sales related features. ActionUser side of things will also be getting several new features that will really help our customers generate revenue using eventON.

Going forward we really want to help you — our eventon customer — automate your day-to-day eventON operations (as much as possible) and help you generate revenue using eventON in ways that is appreciative by both you and your customers.

    Disaster
    I just updated and found that none of the calendars are working – specifically the jumper on the calendar. Also all event details are missing from the pages, i.e you cna no longer see any events on my pages.
    I am currently re installing the old versions until I hear from you

      Sorry to hear this, we have tested this update and have been running on several customer websites without any issues before we released this, so I am surprised to hear this. Please send us a ticket via helpdesk and we can help you solve the issues.

    Great update. Events shown via EventOn API look ugly though. Could you please check that?

    1. Ashan Jay says:

      Thanks yes will check into that!

    I’m trying to update to this new version (currently version 2.5.1 on my website) but I always get errors. The autoupdate doesn’t work (error: PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Invalid archive structure). I don’t have ftp access and with the backend way I can’t even delete the old version of EventOn. I can deactivate the plugin, but when I try to delete it, I just get the message that it didn’t work to delete it. What should go wrong here?

    1. Ashan Jay says:

      You will need to get into the FTP and update because there was an error with deleting eventon and that was fixed in v2.5.6

  4. Steve says:

    Yep same issue no events loading since update. Help

    1. Ashan Jay says:

      Please make sure you are on latest version 2.6.5 and if that doesnt solve please send us a ticket via helpdesk

    I was wondering if the Api when loading the list on external sites would show the dropdown of the event details instead of sending a visitor to the original website. Kind of defeats the purpose of have an Api to show on external sites. Anyway getting around this?

    1. Ashan Jay says:

      The API addon will send visitor to original website.
