Hi

firstly, nice simple plugin. Thanks for that.

I am playing with the free version before deciding on whether or not the pro version makes sense for me.
One thing I want to do is let users create events on a separate page. I have thus attempted to make a page template (http://www.testing.fermunity.com/create-event/) similar to the create event field on the buddypress profile.

I encountered two issues:

1. I get a warning for the category field (as you can see on the link above): Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/fermunit/public_html/testing/wp-content/themes/socialchef-child/profile-events-create.php on line 78

the relevant code block is:
```
<?php if( ! empty( $categories ) ) : ?>

		<p>
			<label for="event-cats"><?php echo __( 'Categories', 'bp-simple-events' ); ?>: <?php if( in_array('categories', $required_fields) ) echo __( '*', 'bp-simple-events' ); ?></label>
			<?php
				foreach( $categories as $category ) {

					$checked = '';
					if( in_array( $category->term_id, $pp_ec->cats_checked ) )
						$checked = ' checked';

					echo '&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="event-cats[]" value="' . $category->term_id . '"' . $checked . '/> ' . $category->name . '<br/>';
				}
			?>
		</p>

	<?php endif; ?>	
```
Line 78 is if( in_array( $category->term_id, $pp_ec->cats_checked ) )

2. The calendar & time pop-up does not show up on the page like it does on the buddypress profile page.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Simon

#1: Try adding
```
global $pp_ec;
$required_fields = get_option( 'pp_events_required' );
```
at the top of your template.

#2: Probably the jquery date & time scripts are not being enqueued. Try hacking this function pp_events_profile_enqueue()
in buddypress-simple-events\trunk\inc\pp-events-screens.php
or write a separate function on the wp_enqueue_scripts hook.

Thanks for your response.

on #1: I already had this code at the top of the template and the problem persists.

on 2#: not sure where exactly to start here (not a fully fledged programmer myself), how would the wp_enqueue_scripts function look like (I only got errors when trying it out).

Thanks
Simon
