Eventotron

Changelog

5.2.10

• The advanced-search toggles on the events listing now read the page’s own ?adv= query string directly instead of a variable set by the template, so no unprefixed global remains and theme copies of archive-events.php from any version keep their toggles ticked.

5.2.9

• The one-time 5.2.5 content migration now also runs on sites whose only seasons are archived, and retries on sites where 5.2.8 recorded it as finished without completing it. If a listing or a genre filter went empty after updating, this release repairs it.
• A genre, date or venue term shared with content from another plugin is now copied rather than renamed, so the other plugin keeps its own term and yours moves across with its settings and description intact. Term counts and cached listings are refreshed as the migration goes.
• If a term cannot be created, the migration now stops and leaves your existing content exactly as it was, rather than recording itself as finished. The next admin page load tries again.
• Listings, maps and social-sharing images use the copy of each image in your own media library. Where an image did not import, these views leave it out instead of loading the original from Eventotron.
• Template settings uploads and the bundled defaults are read through WordPress’s own JSON file reader.

5.2.8

• The one-time 5.2.5 content migration now only runs on sites that had an earlier version installed, and only renames posts and terms this plugin imported (identified by the Eventotron meta it stamps on them). A fresh install no longer touches any other plugin’s content that happens to use a post type called events or venues.
• Every admin request handler checks its nonce and the user’s capability inline, and the import routines no longer read the request themselves; they receive their ids from the handler that already verified it.
• Filter results come back as plain markup: the response no longer carries <script> tags, and the plugin’s script reads a hidden state element instead. Ticket buttons use data attributes rather than inline onclick handlers, so a strict Content Security Policy no longer blocks them.
• Bundled icons are filed in the media library through the WordPress filesystem and media APIs. Requires WordPress 5.9 or later.

5.2.7

• The ticket window is no longer cut off at the bottom of the screen on phones, so you can reach the bottom of a long list of ticket options.
• “Add to Basket” now stays in view while you scroll through the ticket options, instead of sitting below the last one.
• Ticket options you cannot buy say why — “Sold out”, “Maximum 6 per order” or “No more available” — rather than only greying out the + and − buttons.
• Where several ticket types share one section’s remaining tickets, taking the last of them now closes the others, so you can no longer pick more tickets than exist and have the basket refuse them at the end.
• These are changes to the Eventotron ticket window itself, which is served from eventotron.com. This release updates the plugin’s version number so visitors’ browsers fetch the new version rather than reusing a cached copy.

5.2.6

• Shortcodes and theme templates written before 5.2.5 that still ask for events, performances, venues, merch, sku or archived-events by their old names now find the right content again instead of showing nothing. If you have [etron_events post_type="performances"] on a page, it works as it did before 5.2.5 — though it is worth updating it to etron_performances when you next edit the page.

5.2.5

• New [etron_account] shortcode: a “Sign in” button that opens Eventotron’s own sign-in on the page, and once the buyer is signed in shows their name with a link to their orders. Add style="icon-only" for the compact icon, or call etronOpenLogin() from a button in your own theme. Nothing about the buyer’s account is stored in WordPress.
• Post types and taxonomies now carry the plugin’s prefix (etron_events, etron_performances, etron_venues, etron_merch, etron_sku, etron_archived; etron_genres, etron_dates, etron_venues, etron_seasons). Existing content is migrated on the first page load after updating, and public URLs such as /events/ and /performances/ do not change. See the upgrade notice if your theme overrides the plugin’s templates.
• The Facebook Pixel is no longer loaded. It fired on every event and performance page that had a meta_pixel_id field, with no opt-in and no visitor consent; use a consent-aware tag manager instead.
• The “Add a button” item in the event and venue template editors is gone, along with the “Please Login” image it produced. It was left over from the old built-in box office and had nothing behind it since 5.0.0; a button saved in older settings now renders nothing.
• Every script and stylesheet the plugin adds to a page goes through WordPress’s enqueue system rather than inline tags, and the admin screens share one stylesheet.
• Venue term pages show the venue image from your media library instead of hotlinking Eventotron’s CDN.
• Settings saved from the Settings and template screens are sanitized field by field, and admin requests always use admin_url().
• The [etron_dboard] shortcode returns its markup instead of printing it, so it works inside blocks and other shortcodes.
• No more “incorrectly called” notice on activation. The Eventotron menu now sits with the other plugin menus at the bottom of the admin sidebar.
• The External services section of this readme now lists every host the plugin talks to.

5.2.4

• Every global constant and class carries the plugin’s own prefix (EE_CORE, EE_VERSION and friends are now ETRON_CORE, ETRON_VERSION, etc.), closing the last warnings from the WordPress.org Plugin Check pass. No user-facing changes.

5.2.3

• Full Plugin Check pass: every superglobal read sanitized, every AJAX and admin endpoint nonce-verified (including a new nonce on the template import forms), no unprefixed global function or variable names, and every direct database query either replaced or documented. No user-facing changes.

5.2.2

• Text domain is eventotron, matching the WordPress.org slug, so translations load.
• No hardcoded plugin folder paths: assets and template fallbacks resolve wherever the plugin is installed.

5.2.1

• The plugin’s directory listing links to its knowledge-base article at eventotron.com.

5.2.0

• Maps are drawn with Leaflet on OpenStreetMap tiles. The Google Maps key is gone and there is nothing to configure; use the etron_map_tile_url filter to pick another tile provider.
• The “Where” filter looks places up through your Eventotron account instead of Google Places.
• Security and standards pass for the WordPress.org directory: every output escaped, all database queries prepared, direct-access guards on every file, the WordPress HTTP API in place of cURL, and one text domain throughout.
• Plugin renamed to Eventotron. Super Simple Box Office was retired in 5.0.0.

5.1.1

• Buy buttons now sell the season the performance belongs to, and pages not tied to one season use the new Sales season setting.

5.1.0

• Background sync: changed events and venues are refreshed from Eventotron every 15 minutes when enabled.
• Removed legacy code paths.

5.0.0

• Ticketing moved to the Eventotron checkout. The built-in Super Simple Box Office was removed.
