• Hi there Ruth! Rob from Modern Tribe here — I wanted to reach out because it looks like your add-on for The Events Calendar has been updated recently, and we wanted to let you know of some forthcoming changes that may impact you. Our 3.10 release is just around the corner and, as usual, packs in a wide range of fixes and improvements.

    In this release we also embarked on a fairly substantial program of refactoring: most notably, our classnames now follow a consistent naming scheme – making it easier than ever to read our code and understand its structure, not to mention better placing us to take advantage of neat language-level features such as autoloading.

    It will also gives us a cleaner codebase on which we can continue to build awesome stuff, which is in turn something we know will benefit all the plugin and theme developers out there who wish to integrate with our platform.

    We’ve worked hard to maintain backwards compatibility so far as is possible, but we also wanted to communicate these changes early to give you the best possible chance of updating your own work where necessary.

    With that in mind, we’d direct you to the develop branch of The Events Calendar over on GitHub: https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar

    A good example of one of the changes is that our main class – TribeEvents – is now named Tribe__Events__Events. Don’t worry, though – you can still use the original classnames, such as TribeEvents, and it should continue to work as expected (though, in debug mode, you’ll see that deprecation notices are generated).

    Please do take the time to test this new structure with any of your own plugin, theme or other custom code – some time spent testing now is well worth the investment! Apologies for posting here on the forums…wasn’t sure the best way to reach out ??

  • Hi Rob! Thank you for the heads up. This is very helpful. I will try with the new structure and will post about my experience on this.

    Is there any fixed release date?

    Hey there Ankit! Thanks for the follow-up, and my apologies for missing it. Up until now we didn’t have a release date that was at all accurate — but as of this week we’re looking to launch sometime in mid-June. Let me know if you need anything from us to help prepare on your end; I can be reached directly via email at rob (@) tri.be.

    Thanks again for the reply!
