Events Booking 3.7.0 released

Hello Alison

The export events can be used to import back to the system. At the moment, the code for importing events haven't changed to use the date picker format yet, so I will leave it as how it's for now (to avoid errors in case someone import back)

Maybe we can change it in version 3.7.1. But give us sometime to work on it

Tuan

Génial ! Merci Eric

I changed the date picker config to d/m/y.
It works fine in the backend but defaults to m/d/y on front end
See screen shots

Nice work!

I noticed you added the field main_category_id (back) to the table eb_events right?

ps. I don't use the routing overrider anymore...

@David Unwin: As replied via support ticket, maybe it happens because you have template override for submit event form base on code of old version. Please follow up the ticket so that we can check it

@Gosling Cools: Yes, that's correct. Having the data in that table helps improving performance abit (related to the routing). It's part of performance improvements which we worked on on this release

Please ignore my comment...I changed the layout on the simple.php.
Tuan very kindly checked and pointed this out to me!!!!.

Dear all

Since version 3.7.0 released, there were few small issues reported. These issues were fixed immediately and I updated download package with the fixes right after it was fixed. However, to make sure all customers have these issues fixed, I decided to release version 3.7.1 with these fixes:

1. Event Date, Event End Date.... are empty when editing (data still correct in database, just not be shown properly on edit screen) when custom date format (like m-d-Y) is used for Date Picker Format config option

2. Frontend registrants management could not be displayed

3. Tickets PDF layout is not generated properly when there is no ticket layout defined in the event (it was not used the default ticket layout in Configuration as expected)

4. Cancel registration button is displayed for event does not have enable cancel registration enabled (but users still cannot cancel even they click on the button)

5. Some small js error on shopping cart checkout on mobile

6. Maichimp plugin does not load all mailing lists (only load the first 10 mailing lists)

Beside fixing the bugs, we also :

- Improve Stripe payment plugin, support display text in current language (instead of in English) in case you are using Stripe Cart Element
- Added support for Billplz ( www.billplz.com ) payment gateway

Please update your site to this latest version of Events Booking to have these issues fixed

Regards,

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

this has been a bit of an issue for me for a while. If I export the events and edit the date in Excel, Excel automatically changes the date format. If I then subsequently import the events table back into Events Booking, the date gets lost. It would be great if this could be improved a bit.

Hi Donal

The main question is what's the data format Excel trying to convert to? is it the the same with the format of the date picker which you are using?

So, my EB configuration is:
Date Format: d/m/Y
Event Date Format: l jS M Y @ g:i a
Event Time Format: g:i a
Date Picker Format: d/m/Y

When I export events, the event_date field is:
2018-09-10 16:00:00

If I want to change that to the 1st September, Excel automatically converts the cell to:
01/09/2018 16:00:00
Apart from the time part, I would say that matches my Date Picker Format.

If I then save the file and import, the date of the event in EB gets changed to 18/01/2009 @ 16:00

If I customise the format of the field in Excel to: yyyy-mm-hh hh:mm
Then the date gets correctly imported into EB.

My confusion arises due to not knowing what format the field should be in, however, having just gone through the exercise to write this post, I should find it easier in future.

Donal
