New Features In This Release
Note: Patch releases are downloaded using the same download URL as the main release. Just re-download Zap Calendar using the URL you were given for the main release and you will receive the patched updates with the new download.
New Modules
my rsvp - show events a user has RSVP'd to (requires Pro version's RSVP plugin)
recent comments - show recent comments (requires Pro version's comment plugin)
New Plugin
moon phase - show phases of the moon directly on the calendar (available in all versions)
Enhanced Plugins
Google Maps - you now search for events by proximity. Find events that are happening near your location.
New Features
The new personal view feature allows users to have a calendar view of their own events. When enabled, only the user's events are displayed (must be logged in to use the personal view feature).
Back end category manager is now displayed as a tree, similar to the display used in Joomla's menu manager.
Event popups now display an image from the event's description if HTML descriptions are enabled and an image is included in the description. If this is not the case, the popup will still display the default category image.
CSV (comma separated value) import is now available. You can now import events into Zap Calendar using either the ical or CSV import screens.
You can now limit the number of events that can be displayed in a day on the the monthly, weekly and mini calendars. This is useful if there are many events on a single day.
