I'm not an addon author of in game addons. And if you took a direct comment as rude, eh.. sorry.

It's a simple question, your last reply didn't state anything but fixing the crash

I don't have a switch to turn that feature off, I'll fix the crash in the next build.

In patch 3.2 Blizzard changed the way they describe dungeons because of the new 5/10/25 normal/heroic modes, which is confusing GC5 and causing the error you're seeing.

I just got my first report of the problem this weekend (yours is the second time it's been reported now) and I'll be posting an update with the fix soon.

After more thought I've decided to change it to list your guild in the Invite tab but have the members permanently selected. I think that should be much less confusing than the way I have it right now.

I also found a bug in my code where if you try to manually add a guild member to a guild event GC5 will just hang internally and not do the invite, and that fix will be in the next build as well.

It's confusing, but in Guild Event mode you're not allowed (by Blizzard) to invite guild members. This makes sense of course since all guild members are automatically invited, but it's confusing because I have to either show your guild in the list and give an error when you invite within your guild, or show it and gray it out and leave you wondering why it's disabled, or not show it at all and leave you wondering why it's missing.

I'm not sure I chose the best alternative, but I chose to just not list your guild when showing a guild event.

I'm glad that helps make some sense of it. I wish Blizzard didn't have so many limitations and I've done my best to work around them in GC5, but there are still real and annoying limits to what can be done -- especially if you're used to the abilities in previous versions of GC.

In patch 3.1 Blizzard added a new event type of "Guild Event" which don't require invitations to be sent. All guild members will see those events and can then sign up. The down side to Blizzard's implementation is that you can't tell when someone declines attending a guild event since there's no "hasn't responded" status for guild members, there's only "signed up" and "not signed up".

Private events are the original event mode and require you to invite everyone, even if they're guildies, but you can tell when someone declines one of those.

*/forehead*

Oh my gosh, I had no clue. Thank you for explaining that, and for not just telling me to go rtfm lol. I guess we were so spoiled by group cal. 4.5 that we didn't think to check back in on the blizz cal after patches.

Thank you again for pointing that out, and sorry for the stupid question here.

With that in mind now...the features in gcal 5 beta make a lot of sense to me too.

jfiz A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	does this version provide for sign-ups? Just a quick question about this beta version (5) vs. the 4.x versions of group calendar. Does v 5.x provide a way to allow guild members to sign up for a posted event, without being invited directly first? My guild has been using 4.5.1 for raid sign-ups to great effect, and I'm just wondering if that same functionality is (or will be) in 5? If this feature is not going to be in 5, could someone here suggest an alternative addon that could provide raid sign-up functionality in-game? Thanks for the great addon!

So far the new version is working great but I'm having a small issue between myself using the addon and those in the guild who are not. When they open up the events in the normal calender the description is all but useless. It's filled with extra text like "[L:80,/C:ROLE:X25:M4,14:H4,6:T4,6:R4,14/D:240]" after I enter a description for the event. Is this normal and something we have to just deal with or something else?

Note: When I open the normal calendar I don't see such additions to the description so I'm left to believe they are being added by Group Calendar.

Yes, those are added by GC5. That's how it stores the extra event info that Blizzard doesn't provide: it sticks it into tags in the description and title fields. "L:80," means levels 80 and up, "C:ROLE:X25" means you've set it for auto-confirms by role with a max of 25 players, "M4,14:H4,6:T4,6:R4,14" means 4 to 14 melee, 4 to 6 healers, 4 to 6 tanks, and 4 to 14 ranged, "D:240" means the event is 4 hours (240 minutes) long.

You don't see it in the WoW calendar if you're running GC5 because GC5 filters the title and description to remove the meta data before it's displayed. Players who aren't running GC5 will see the meta data though, and it will show up on the Armory view of the calendar as well.
