[EventCalendar] Urgent: permalinks for events show date posted

[Alex Tingle]

Steve, Karl,

The changes that Karl has been complaining about are by design. EC posts
are now much more like normal WP posts than before. Therefore they show
up in archives on their posting date - unless you suppress that
behaviour with "Keep Events Separate".

The reason for this was that my primary customer (my wife) wanted to
advertise her events in her blog. Just having a line show up in
"Upcoming Events" wasn't enough. She was making a second (normal) post,
just to point to the event and provide a discussion forum for it. Now,
the same post can serve both functions, which is far more natural. "Keep
Events Separate" is intended to keep events off the front page, which is
more like the old behaviour.

I think the best solution to your "misleading" permalinks, is to set up
a new permalink structure just for events, as Steve has suggested. If
you get that working, then please post it back here so we can all
benefit.

-Alex
