Event Calendar broken in 3.3
This discussion is related to the Event Calendar addon.

Any way the developer could help get this running for 3.3? My members are screaming for a plugin just like this so they can look at the calendar and see upcoming games and events so they don't plan a game or an event on the same date.
The plugin throws no errors that I can see but when you use the category chooser to select what category you want the capability to add event dates it never remembers it so I am curious if its even saving it to the database. Then I add the proper permissions for everyone to add event dates and it never shows up when creating a new discussion. Seems like this plugin is like 95% there for 3.3 just needs some tweaking.

Wow @R_J I just noticed that you wrote this plug in as well. Are you one of the developers for Vanilla or just like to contribute! Either way I am impressed with the number of plugins that I see are written by you!
I'm just doing that for fun. I don't even run a forum on my own 😆
Well I am trying to get it to work slowly.. By doing so i am also learning about plugins.. very interesting.. Any idea if you plan to update this plugin to work with 3.3?
Whenever I get to know that one of my plugins isn't working, I try to have a look at it. So I'll be looking at it in the next few days
I believe it is the change in Ver 3 that now requires to unserialize serialized content in config.php.
anywhere you see
c('EventCalendar.CategoryIDs')
change to
unserialize(c('EventCalendar.CategoryIDs'))
Actually i just did the opposite.... I changed it so the save code does not save it serialized so I only need to change it in one place!
I changed the the following in class.eventcalendar.plugin.php

It then saves into the congig.php as
So the only issue I am having now is that in the code for deciding to show the date selector as hidden or not has a bug where it's not pulling the current CategoryID of the category we are posting in and because its blank the date form is always hidden,. Is there a reason why this code would not be returning the current CategoryID?
NM found it I used
These two changes looks like it fixed everything @R_J
obviously have a look, but this looks like it worked 100% for me now after these 2 changes!
Attached is my file renamed to txt with my changes in it and your old code commented out above it for your review!
New upload, I found 3 bugs and I put the comment MrCaspan on them and commented out your code so you can see the change.
As far as I can tell @R_J these are the only issues I can see to bring it up to 3.3 compatibility.
PS: I am not sure if I can talk or trust your code anymore.... from you files I found out you are a spaces guy and I am a tab guy :)
@R_J So found a few more issues so here is a new upload. All my code changes are marked with MrCaspan so you can have a look to see what I did and your coded is commented out above it.
PS: I am not sure if I am allowed to talk to you any more based on the rules of the internet. It seems that you are a spaces guy and I am a tab guy..... :)
