Our YOOtheme Pro integration got wide acceptance and the feedback was great since the first release. Of course there are areas to improve, so we are eager to ship new solutions for even more specialized use cases. In this release you can benefit from the following new features:

• Coordinates field for map element
  The native YOOtheme map element supports dynamic content as well. If a DPCalendar event is connected to a location, then there are up to three coordinates fields available which can be used in the map element as coordinates. With this information is the element able to render a marker on the map.
• Custom fields dynamic sources
  Custom fields are now available in dynamic sources and they can be used as title, in grids or lists.
• Ongoing events in grid
  Like in modules or the list menu item, the ongoing flag is now available for dynamic sources of events. Like that it is possible to display events which are actually running.

Our RSForm!Pro integration can be used for a booking reservation option with tons of possibilities like payment integration or calendar customization. Now it gets some options to fine tune the calendar in your lovely form:

• Exclusive overlapping checkt
  If there are slots created which start directly after each other, then the following one has to had a shift of one minute. Now this is not needed anymore. It is possible to create items directly like 14:30 - 15:30 and from 15:30 - 16:30.
• Max date without time
  When the max date attribute has no time then it should take midnight to the next day as limit and not from the current day.

Want to add an emoji to an event or location title? The DPCalendar database tables are changed now the utf8mb4 unicode character set (like the core is). This allows event publishers to add emojis to events, locations, etc., as emojis are used everywhere nowadays. 

Up to now, when the event publisher wanted to delete an instance of a recurring series, he had to create first the series and then go to the individual event and delete it. There is now a new option to define exceptions directly in the event form. Like that it is easy possible to exclude holiday or other special dates where your event series takes a break.

The CSV and Spreadsheet plugins offer the possibility to export events, bookings and tickets from front or back end list views. To fulfill various use cases, it is a must, to have fine grained control about how the data will be exported. In DPCalendar 8.15.0 the export plugins offer two new options to exclude certain columns, including custom fields, and to define if the raw value or the rendered value should be added to the spreadsheets.
