Premium XenCustomize - Events Manager 1.3.0

We're delighted to announce the release of Events Manager 1.3.0! The highlight of this release is compatibility with XenForo 2.3.0 RC 3 and above. To support the new dark mode, we've made several adjustments to the less templates and style properties.

XF 2.3 Compatibility
Note: Events Manager v1.2.6 is not compatible with XF 2.3.0 Beta. We're working on a compatible version; stay tuned for updates.

Changes:​

---

• Added a maximum length constraint of 150 characters to the 'title' attribute in the event entity. Previously, although the 'title' column in the database was limited to 150 characters, this restriction was not reflected in the entity. (Suggested by @JustinHawk)
• Increased the maximum length of the 'last_event_title' column in the 'xf_xcu_event_category' table from 100 to 150 characters. This change was also applied to the category entity. (Suggested by @JustinHawk)
• Changed the event 'Description' label to 'Tag line' for clarity and added a new phrase 'xcu_em_tagline'. (Suggested by @JustinHawk)

Bug fixes​

• Added the missing phrase: 'xcu_em_new_event_discussion_thread_must_be_standard_thread'. (Reported by @Excell)
