Re: Smart-Thinker Events 4.3.1 Released  (Greenland)

Indeed a long enhancement list.

Is the danish localizations files for my translations downloaded from your site ?
If, then I could translate this one to danish.

Hi,

Yes, the HomePage Danish pack has been downloaded 88 times so far, and the UserProfile Danish pack has been downloaded 104 times! Impressive! I made quite a few changes to the language strings - added a lot more and "tweaked" some of the others. If you translate it I could put it up - I'm sure it would be appreciated!


Thanks
Rodney

Hi Ruizzie,

Sorry, I have got so much to do I wait until someone asks for the source before putting it up - I am doing it now - try again in 5 minutes.


Thanks

No problem Ries, I have to do it at some point anyway. I want to spend some time working on a Build Action to strip all the non-relevant files out and dump it as a .zip to make this process easier...

Right - Try it now...

Thanks
Rodney

Re: Smart-Thinker Events 4.3.1 Released  (Netherlands)
Got it!

Thanx a bunch!

Just one more question / feature request (yes, timed not quite right ;-)

Would it be possible to adapt the RSVP process so that the size of an attendant's party could be registered?

This would make it easier to count the total number of visitors for an event.

If it's not too hard I can try it myself.

I'll also try to do some work in translating the Events module to Dutch

Re: Smart-Thinker Events 4.3.1 Released  (N/A)
I noticed this is something that they use on Meetup.com - you can bring a number of guests with you. At the moment you would need to add a new column to the STEventUser table for number of Guests, and then you would need to factor this into the total if it was a limited event.

Raise it as a Feature Request (to be honest it is not top priority) and we'll see how popular it is. I do want to have UDFs so you could make this an additional field to fill in on the RSVP form, but that is a long time away.

Would be great to have it translated!

Thanks
Rodney
