Events Made Easy

Description

Events Made Easy is a full-featured event and membership management solution for Wordpress and ClassicPress. Events Made Easy supports public, private, draft and recurring events, membership and locations management, RSVP (+ optional approval), several payment gateways (Paypal, 2Checkout, FirstData, Mollie and others) and OpenStreetMap integration. With Events Made Easy you can plan and publish your event, let people book spaces for your weekly meetings or manage volunteers and memberships. You can add events list, calendars and description to your blog using multiple sidebar widgets or shortcodes; if you are a web designer you can simply employ the placeholders provided by Events Made Easy.

  2. Go in the Wordpress 'Plugins' menu, and click on "Add new"
  3. Select the zip you downloaded

Translations and how to translate

You can find the latest versions of language files here

Here is how to translate any string in a language of your choice:

First, download and install poedit (or any language editor that can handle ".po" files). Then open the .po language file of choice (it is already merged with the “template file” events-made-easy.pot). Then you’ll see all strings not correctly translated/fuzzy/... . It’s very easy (and exactly like the web interface on the wordpress translation site). Once you press save (after you finished editing), poedit created (compiles) the .mo file for you, so you can then send me the .po and .mo file. Or create a pull request on github with the new files.

I sometimes forget to update the language files, so drop me a hint me when you think something is out of date 🙂
