Oh yeah :) Finally all caught up on the server migration. Going go that gangbusters starting on Monday. Got it all planned out. Details to follow. Apologies for being out of the loop so long.

Step 1 :: Incorporate All Updates as Single Update
===========================================
We have two incidences of updates:

Update 1: Updates to Events system. Not complete.
Update 2: Miscellaneous updates addressing issues and new features (not Events-related).

When doing Update 2, I have been applying same updates to Update 1. To be sure, I will be comparing files in Update  to Update 2 to make sure all latest updates are incorporated in Update 1. Create new update package: Update Latest. This is the longest step, and could take 1 - 2 weeks.

Step 2 :: Temporarily Disable Presentations in Update Latest
===========================================
This is because new Presentations system not complete. Once it is later on, enable. Testing will be done on development.chapteroffice.com where we have been developing and testing the the new Events system.

Step 3 :: Apply Update Latest to a Live Chapter
===========================================
Ensure Update Latest is good.

Step 4 :: Apply Update Latest to All Chapters
===========================================

Step 5 :: Continue Update
===========================================
Getting caught up with any issues and incorporating new features. Once done, update all chapters. Usual update process before this.

Steps 1 and 2 done. What I would I'd like you to do is this. I applied the combined update is good. I've updated development.chapteroffice.com. So, it has latest Events update and all other updates after that. So, it is fully up-to-date. What we need to test is the Events system. To make sure it still works with Presentations disabled. Works like it did before - again with the exception that Presentations have been temporarily disabled (until we complete the new and improved Events system).

Well, get back in the habit :) Gonna be a lot going on as we catch up. Like I said development site is ready to test with respect to Events system. Hopefully we can get that done quickly. Then I can quickly do the Downloads system update. Then, update all sites. Then, a few more updates to get caught up, and update all sites again. I'm hoping and expect we can get this all done sometime in September. Then, complete the Events system. Now, off to bed. Busy day tomorrow ... hopefully as it relates to this. Talk soon.

Ended up scheduling a last minute inspection today.

Will get on this first thing after I prepare a proposal to inspect a shopping center. If I get it, it will be the biggest job of my inspection career.

I submitted a proposal for $20k. They replied, "What can you do for $5k?"

Time to rework my scope of work.

Also time to try to find time to work with you.

Okay, let's get to work!

You said, "Works like it did before - again with the exception that Presentations have been temporarily disabled..." The first thing I notice is a bunch of opportunities to create breaks. My thinking is that this may be appropriately part of an Advanced mode.

What do you think of this? We have a Basic mode that is basically what we've had since the beginning (with some improvements of course). Then we have an Advanced mode that includes the stuff we've been developing.

Basic mode just sets up a single meeting without jumping through all the hoops of Speakers and Presentations. Advance mode allows for Speakers, breaks, meetings within events, etc.

Just thinking out loud here. It's going to take a little to get me back up to speed on everything we've done on this project.

Those Registration Setup choices don't do much in this mode (Presentations disabled), do they?

I create an Event and Save. When I come back, the Title field is blank.
