Upgraded to DNN 8.0 and get the following error: about dnn.events HOT 7 CLOSED

Replaced the the 6.2.2 install code with the current github code, and get:

I'm having the same issue. Any fix or workaround?

from dnn.events.

Hello Gentlemen,

Are there any comments on this? Will it be fixed? I have two fairly important pages on my website using this module that I currently have to hide.

from dnn.events.

It will be fixed, but I don't know when. Since it seems that I am currently the only one doing work here, it certainly has to wait till I am back from holiday (end march).
If someone could step in: a pull request with the fix is most welcome.

Cool. Thanks, What does it take to contribute? I have written modules before. All c# though, have not dealt with VB much in my professional life.

Well, interestingly, I downloaded the project from Github, recompiled it, put the DotNetNuke.Modules.Events.dll in the Bin directory of my site and now everything works. So, I guess I am good.

Good to advthat things work. I am puzzled why it did not work im the first place.
Contribution can be done in any form of pull requests.
IMO editing existing VB.net code is not so difficult if you know C# (same apllies the other way around).
