[EventCalendar] Post events in the events category AND as regular posts

[Matt Dawson]

I'm not sure if this'll exactly get at solving your problem, but I
*think* it will.

In previous versions of the plugin, Keep Events Separate *did* show
event posts on the homepage.

With some help from a post by Alex some time ago, I was able to turn
that behavior back on.

I wouldn't qualify this as "hacking" - but you do have to open up the
eventcalendar3.php file and make some minor tweaks.  On my version,
the "tweak" is somewhere around line 235 - but I have a lot of extra
comments in my code that I added - and I'm also running 3.1.0. Here's
what my version looks like now:

/* this next section commented out to restore old "keep events
seperate" behavior
         ie. posts are excluded from use on other pages if they *only*
have a category of event. */

      // elseif(!$ec3->is_category):

          // Hide all events
          // $where.=" AND ec3_sch.post_id IS NULL ";
          // $ec3->join_ec3_sch=true;

Comment out those four lines, and I think your problem will be solved.

(Alex, you'll have to correct me if I'm wrong - or if for some reason
3.1.1 doesn't use that block.)
