    MVC was kind of my indulgence — I find it really convenient to think that way. Mixing event driven and MVC resulted in the mess you see in BPCP and EventPress ;) .

    Stylesheets — simplest would be to simply dequeue them and enqueue your own :) . Thanks, though ”without issue” isn’t exactly true. As soon as my exams get over (ie tomorrow afternoon) I’m going to start formalizing a test system so that I stop shipping buggy releases and end up having to do 2 bugfix .1.x releases, one after the other.

    @kunalb thanks for the reply, Have only just started to look at custom post types, so slightly unfamiliar with them at the moment and they are a somewhat complex edition to WP to understand, will delve further now though. One last thing how does one override the stylesheets? Oh and ought to say well done it’s a great plugin seems to function without issue on 1.2.5.2

    BPCP actually looks for post_type/page — so for certain pages you could add ep_event/page to your theme and that would override the EventPress theme. To write general theme files, youi could also go for type/page — which will affect any plugins using BPCP. Have a look at all possibilities here: buddypress-custom-posts/themes/

    EventPress has a few event specific files, which are at eventpress/themes/bp/ — their equivalents are also first looked for within your main theme’s folder, so you can over-ride by giving the same name.

            the bug fix for the bug fix release :) In fairness these bugs? are not overly prominent- I will endeavor to report any issues I do come across though.

            yep denqueue/re-enqueue sounds like an approach.

            Interested in the fact that suddenly we seem to have leap forward to a MVC pattern, that threw me somewhat :)

            thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the review: I’ll just check my plugin (on Windows right now, can’t check code) and post a reply about.

    In reply to - Josh Frank reviewed the plugin EventPress: Directed to a page with the error below when I click on Send Invites. It appears as though the Invites do get sent, so that is good – but if a user ends up on this error page they will be very confused. I can see a user thinking the Invite didn’t [...] · View

    @Corinne Thanks! About setting it as a thumbnail, the option seems to disappear (I directly use wp’s inbuilt media uploader, but apparently I’m not setting some external variably properly for it to display the set as thumbnail button). I’ll check that out and reply.

    In reply to - Corinne reviewed the plugin EventPress: Very nice idea and implemented well, but I can’t change the featured image. I’ve tried uploading and going through my media library but can’t figure out how to select an image and save it as the event thumbnail. Really good start though. @kunalb · View

    1) Custom registration form is very complex . My members won’t understand how to create these (regular expressions???)
    > I wanted to give as much control as possible to users, though very few non-geeks would understand arcane regexes I guess. I’m still confused about how many options for validation to provide — and whether to give a general regex as an option at all.

    @Anointed: Ah, ok. I haven’t actually updated the gsoc repository for quite some time now. I also thought about moving to git but decided against it in the end — WordPress’s repositories will be the sole location for up to date versions of EventPress and BuddyPress Custom Posts.

    My bad.. I knew about the plugins at wp, thought maybe you had an svn setup for nightly builds or something. For awhile there, I was downloading a new vs. almost every day from the gsoc svn. Sorry for the confusion

    @PJ: If you haven’t yet, try getting a new version of EP and BPCP from the plugin repos. That should solve the problems.

    Thanks a lot for the feedback.

    1. The plugin’s version is actually a prototype, as you mentioned, it’s not a big deal now to add modifications to it, to obtain a project management software (also because almost every component in it is standalone, you can deactivate them one by one). Though the milestone I will follow is to make a solid academic suite out of it. And yes, Bibliography webpages can be used as link’s so you can refer to whitepapers using that option.
    2. +1
    3. @kunalb also did a great job this summer with EventPress, see if it won’t suit you better for that kind of task.

    In reply to - roydeanjr posted an update in the group BuddyPress ScholarPress Courseware : Congratulations! This looks like a phenominal plugin!

    @kunalb – I suspect EventPress is going to be a very important plugin – congrats on the work.

    Given this – It might an idea to make a specific group for EventPress, rather than posting in the general third party components and plugins group

    Looking forward to using it. Cheers, Roger

    @PJ: Just eliminated the called — that debug fn slipped through the cracks — had used it while modifying the posts query for sorting thru eventpress. That would probably also explain the issue with the theme, I guess. I’ve removed that call — can you check if that stops breaking the theme: http://kunal-b.in/0.1/debug/EventPress.tar.gz .
