Re: Beta Testers  (United States)
Went through the process to add an event, but on the last screen, received an error.
 
Did not enter anything in the final page.

Hello

Thanks for testing - unfortunately this was down to my sheer slopiness with a change last night! I have fixed the problem - please retry - it was down to leaving the Landmark blank, which is now catered for.

Thanks

Re: Beta Testers  (United States)
Tried it again and it worked wonderfully.
 
I like the page flow of this module.  Keep up the good work. When I have some time, I will try to break.

Re: Beta Testers  (N/A)

Hi Rod,

Cool module! I could make use of this right now as it is time for me to send out cabin invitations to friends and family. :-)

I added such an event on your site to test out the module. These are the issues or questions that were raised:

1. I noticed that if I didn't put in physical <br> 's that the page design stretched far, far, far. Perhaps there might be a size limit with autowrapping or something to prevent this?
2. Dress code is not displaying my selection correctly. It keeps telling my guests to come in Halloween Clobber. :-)
3. The directions I need to put are very long and detailed. Mapquest and other map services don't map that area up in the mountain yet, thus necessitating the detail. However, the directions area does not permit enough room to display the long detailed directions in their entirety. Could you make this area display longer directions, please? Currently it will cut off directions if they are long and detailed.
4. In the Cost area, I wanted to put "Nada, Nothing, Compliments of the Bonnars" however it would not accept a string that long. Sometimes events are sponsored and it would be nice to put in the sponsor information, or sometimes financial arrangements need more explaining, so do you think this field could display more information, please?
5. I couldn't see how to add any guests to the guest list on your site. Is that feature enabled on your site to check out its functionality?

This is way cool, Rodney! Thanks for making it!

Kind Regards,

Jean-Marie Bonnar

Hi Jean-Marie

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Lets see:

1) Logged - I will investigate all fields for field lengths and wrapping.
2) Strange - will investigate! Small bug ;)
3) Right - this field will be enlarged then - how many characters do you estimate?
4) Hmmm... I was going to make Cost a currency field, but let me think about this. I might expand it, or probably a Cost Comment is necessary. This will probably only make ver 1.1 to be honest!
5) Hmm - this is not as obvious as it could be, but it's the little icon on the right of the My Events screen.

Excellent - I saw your new event "Casa Pacifica" - but what should actually happen is that the Event Creator (you) sets the Event Status to Active when they are ready to have it Approved (you could leave it on Draft and the Admin would ignore it until you were happy with it to be approved). I realise this is not clear and will put some help text in! When you have saved it as Active, Admin (me) should get an email and then I will approve it and then the Event Creator gets notified and the emails sent. Could you please go back in and set the status to Active when you are happy with it, and I will approve it (I wont send out invitations).

Thank you very much for your input so far!

Re: Beta Testers  (United Kingdom)
Ps. In point 2 about DressCode - it seems to display ok on the Event Detail screen - where did you mean it doesn't show up?

Re: Beta Testers  (N/A)
Well, when I view my event details, it says Halloween Clobber, which is not the choice I made. I've tried two other choices, but it keeps displaying for me on the details as Halloween Clobber. What does it display for you?

Re: Beta Testers  (N/A)
Rod,

I am trying to make the event active, but the app isn't allowing me to do that. I get this message:


You do not have access to view this module within the portal.

I AM logged into your portal though. Perhaps a permissions issue?

Hmmm, that's hard to say...how bout making it an nvarchar field that will accept up to 1000 for now? I'm totally not sure. Probably won't need that many, but best to make more room rather than less?

Re: Beta Testers  (United Kingdom)
Hello Sebastien

Can you confirm if you have edited the .resx files? This kind of error is normally due to a bad localization change - can you try a completely fresh install (ie. the original English version) on another DNN installation and let me know if the error still occurs. I have another user who has confirmed that this works on DNN 4.x (see other post).


Thanks
Rodney
