5.1.5 and Pro 2.1.2 Released
Posted on April 9, 2012
New Features
- Use #_EVENTCATEGORIESIMAGES, which will show the images of the categories an event belongs to
- Added yearly recurrences to the recurrence manager
- Added a cut-off date for bookings, so bookings can take place past event start dates
- Added #_CONTACTMETA placeholder, this works with Free or Pro, where you can use e.g. #_CONTACTMETA{dbem_phone} or any other valid user meta key. This comes in particularly useful when coupled with the new user fields editor in our last update for Pro users.
- Admin booking notification email can now be sent to multiple emails (comma delimited in settings)
- (pro) Manual bookings now allow for new users to be added together with a new booking, add coupon payment information, as well as custom payment amounts.

Bravo on these changes!
Looks like a great plugin.
What about compatibility with WPML?
Is this something that are planned for in the future?
And if so, do you have any idea of when it can be done?

It already works with WPML, but not 100% yet. We’re already working with WPML directly to make this fully compatible. We also have some snippets that go some lengths to make our widgets etc. show language-specific events when viewing translated pages.
OK
I’ve just done some testing locally and trying to find an event manager (at this time just need to post event and have them in a list with upcoming events as well as show that list in a sidebar widget) that work with WPML.
I manage to get events translated, but the problem seems to not get double events (from both languages) to show in lists/widgets.
But if there is work going on then your plugin might be the way to go anyway, in all other aspects I’ve tested it looks very good.
Thanks for your reply.
/Anders
The snippet I was referring to above will help with that:

e.g. paste that into your functions.php file of your theme
Thanks.
That seemed to work well with the widget (just need to workout how to translate the link to all events at the bottom, maybe just set up another widget with dynamic widgets depending on language).
The only last problem for me would be the “main page with the event list”, it seems WPML allows to make a version of second language, but that page won’t have any content. Is this a known problem or is it me that haven’t figured out the correct settings?
Anyway, it looks promising and I will probably start using this plugin.

you can keep an eye on the progress from either our pro forums – http://wpml.org/forums/topic/events-manager-compatability/
Quite insightful write-up..thanks for sharing. Great going..keep it up. Good Luck !!
