[EventCalendar] EventCalendar 3.1 Beta

[Alex Tingle]

The first public beta release of EventCalendar 3.1 is now available.
This is a significant re-write. Event dates are now kept in their own
table, so they are seperate from the post date. There is a new Ajax
interface on the post edit screen that allows you to set the event date.

Also:

* Event dates are shown in their own little box at the beginning of
  event posts.
* Multi-day events are now supported.

EventCalendar works fine with Wordpress v1.5. From v3.1 it should also
work with WordPress 2.

*HELP NEEDED!* The Schedule Editor interface (on the edit screen) is too
crude right now. I'd be massively grateful if someone could volunteer to
improve it.


   Latest version: 3.1.pre10
   Released on: 21st July, 2006.

Installation
============

   The plugin is on the form of a directory called 'eventcalendar3'.

2. Activate the plugin on the plugin screen
   *Don't try to view your blog yet*. First you must...

3. Change settings on the Event Calendar Options screen. You must choose which
   Wordpress category to use for events.
   (Viewing the options screen for the first time also sets up the database,
   and upgrades events from older versions of EventCalendar.)

4. Add ec3_get_calendar() or ec3_get_events() to your template.
