Requires at least: BP v.1.0.3 (not 1.1)
Tested up to: 2.8
Stable tag: 0.61

Adds an events calendar to the WordPress MU/BuddyPress platform.

This version 0.61 is the LAST version to be compatible with older versions of BuddyPress (1.0.3 and older). For versions compatible with BP 1.1 and beyond look for the trunk version or 1.1 and newer.


== Description ==

- the bp-events plugin will add an option to the user menu called "Events". From this menu users can create events and invite friends to join.
- the plugin will add an "Events" option to tbe main menu system for the events directory view
- add the "Events" widget to list the upcoming/newest/active/popular events on your front page
- enter your Google Maps API or Yahoo Maps API in the Site Admin->Events->Settings to enable the maps (using modified GeoPress plugin - included)
- added twitter posting through eg-twitter plug-in (not included but available on the author's webpage)


== Installation ==

- Unzip package (you did, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this)
- upload "bp-events.php" and the dir "bp-events" into your "mu-plugins" directory 
- to enable twitter updates, upload "eg-twitter" (not included) into "plugins/buddypress" directory
- drop "bpmember" onto the existing "bpmember" on your website (and chose "Overwrite all" if your ftp program asks) - it will add the "events" dir to your buddypress default member theme. Or if you are running your own theme, copy the "events" and "css" folders into your main theme directory.
- login as admin for your wordpress mu site, this will initialise the plugin and create/update the database
- you're done!

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why is some stuff not working? =

This is version < 1, stuff won't be working 100% until we reach version 1. Also, until BuddyPress is officially released, Events will not go into version 1.

= Will there be a calendar view? =

Yes there will. (notince my vagueness in setting a timeframe). There will be calendars galore: big ones, small ones, widgets, what have you. Be patient!
