[EventCalendar] Plugin Incompatibility with EventCalendar 3.1.pre13

[Rusty Smith]

Alex:
I have just tried out the beta version of Event Calendar, and you  
have only taken a great plugin and made it better!

The problem that I am running into is that it seems to be  
incompatible with a couple of plugins that filter the front page  
posts. I have tried it out with both

Front Page Categories by Ryan Boren as well as Opt-In Front Page by   
Denis de Bernardy. Both throw a similar error to the one below:

> WordPress database error: [Column 'category_id' in where clause is  
> ambiguous]
> SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON  
> wp_post2cat.post_id=id LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat AS sem_post2cat ON  
> sem_post2cat.post_id = ID WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <=  
> '2006-09-15 15:22:59' AND (post_status = "publish" OR post_author =  
> 1 AND post_status != 'draft' AND post_status != 'static') AND  
> post_status != "attachment" AND category_id!=3 AND  
> sem_post2cat.category_id = 5 GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY  
> post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10

The test site is located at: www.protomondo.com/soa. I will leave it  
up for a while; it is currently running both "EventCalendar  
3.1.pre13" as well as "Opt-In Front Page"

I could of course filter my loop in the index of the theme to only  
show the categories that I want on the front page, but I prefer the  
plugin route for long-term handiness.

FYI, I also have the "Light Box" plugin activated, but not yet in use  
on this test site. I read on the comments list that someone seemed to  
be having problems with this config as well; I am experiencing no  
difficulties to date with it. I will see what happens if I call the  
lightbox plugin from a page that also has the event calendar on it,  
although in my site I doubt this will ever happen.

Thanks in advance for any insight towards a fix that you or the group  
may offer.

Rusty
