I am not sure if your fix is already in version 2.2.1, but when I install this version:
* from the front page, I can still access all (face-to-face) events although I don't have access to the course where the event is part of
* on course page where (face-to-face) events are scheduled, "no more events" is shown. Only when I add an event by means of + New Event in block it is shown in the list
What is a face-to-face event? Is this another type of plugin?
In our block we do not use these preferences. We show course and group events in the course page and all types of events on the front page. If face-to-face is a user type event then it would not show in our block on the course page. I need to have a look at face-to-face before I could say where the issue is.
Thanks for creating this plugin - I'll be adding it to our site more than likely when we upgrade to 3.0.
One of the things that make this really useful is that it displays events that occur today (i.e. not just from tomorrow) including events that happened earlier in the day. So it'll be great for adding a 'Today's Events' block to users' dashboards.
However, I would like to display only today's events, and not tomorrow's also. Would it be possible perhaps in a future version do you think?
Thanks,
Catherine
Yes, that sounds like a good idea for a new setting. I'll implement that but it may not be until May.

Can this Upcoming Events block also be added to the Dashboard, or just to courses? I'm not seeing in the block list for the Dashboard.
Thank you.
