Translations
============

If you translate an event into a new language, events2 will not create day records for this language. That's because
you may have changed the `event_type` of an event. In that case events2 can not associate a day record of
default language to day records of the translated record. As a solution we have disabled the translation feature
for day table completely.

This approach has one disadvantage:

You currently can't search for translated events in frontend search.


Where are the day records build?
================================

We build the day records while saving an event record in backend. Further we re-build them while executing
the scheduler task `Re-Create day records` and while executing the command `events2:rebuild`.


Can I export events?
====================

No. Currently you have to create your own export mechanism. But as we have implemented such a solution already for one
of our customers you can ask us at: projects@jweiland.net


Can I import events?
====================

Yes. But currently only XML files are allowed. Please add Scheduler Task `Import events` and set a filepath
to import. Examples of XML files are available at https://github.com/jweiland-net/events2/tree/main/Tests/Functional/Fixtures/XmlImport.

We will validate the imported file against configuration in `EXT:events2/Resources/Public/XmlImportValidator.xsd`.

All errors will be logged in a `Messages.txt` in same directory of imported XML file.


Namespace change of search plugin
=================================

In Extbase a link will be created by its Plugin Namespace like *tx_events2_calendar* or *tx_events2_list*. As we have
designed plugin `Search form` as its own Plugin it will only react and build links based on plugin
namespace `tx_events2_searchform`. But this is a problem. To build correct links within the search results plugin
which should be compatible with our events2 list Plugin we have to change its plugin namespace to `tx_events2_list`.

That's why we set the plugin namespace of search results plugin back to namespace of events2 list plugin:

..  code-block:: typoscript

    plugin.tx_events2_searchresults.view.pluginNamespace = tx_events2_list

We prefer to not change that value.


File Uploads
============

The images of the event form of the Management plugin are uploaded with
the file upload handling of Extbase. If you need the image rights from
the uploader, install EXT:checkfaluploads and add the rights checkbox to
your template override, see :ref:`management-checkfaluploads`.
