Version 1.0.7 – Event Calendar Category Improvements and Forum Category Controls (13 September 2026)

This update expands the Event Calendar with support for deeper category structures and clearer editing behaviour, and introduces collapsible forum category headers along with improved icon handling across the forums.

Event Calendar Enhancements

• The Event Calendar category picker now supports an optional fourth cascade level. This is used when an Event Type has child terms, such as a Raid Instance like Spirit Vale under the Raid category. The picker now requires a full selection whenever the chosen Event Type contains further levels.
• Event titles for categories that include a fourth‑level Instance now display in the format Event Type (Instance). For example, Raid (Spirit Vale) is shown instead of only the instance name.
• The Event detail modal now includes an Edit Event button for admins and editors. This opens the existing Edit Event form directly from the details view.
• The Edit Event modal now disables the Save button until a complete leaf category is selected. This matches the behaviour already used on the Add Event modal. The server also rejects incomplete category selections to ensure events are always assigned correctly.

Forum Category Improvements

• Forum categories on the main forums page now have collapsible headers with caret indicators. Your open and closed states are saved in localStorage, and a lightweight head script ensures the correct layout appears instantly without any flicker during page load.
• New upload fields are available in wp‑admin for custom Read and Unread Forum Icons. These appear under the Forum Category metabox and remain hidden until you tick the Set Category Icons checkbox, keeping the editor tidy unless you need them.
• All forum categories now use Attitude Gaming’s default icons for read and unread states. The grey logo is used for read, and the colour logo is used for unread. Any custom icons uploaded in wp‑admin override these defaults for individual forums or categories.
• Side artwork has been updated across forum templates and global body pseudo‑elements. The left side now uses ag-gw-sideart-left.webp and the right side uses ag-warcraft-sideart-right.webp.
• Custom uploaded icons now calculate their width and padding automatically based on the image’s dimensions and aspect ratio. This allows wide banner logos, such as Guild Wars 1 at 145px, and square icons to display at their natural proportions without appearing squashed or too small.
• Forum category title buttons now keep a transparent background when hovered, instead of switching to the default brown hover style.
• Moving a topic to a different forum now updates all related metadata correctly. The _bbp_forum_id value is updated on the topic and its replies, topic and reply counts are recalculated for both forums, freshness timestamps are refreshed, and the forum query cache is cleared to prevent outdated information from appearing.

Future patch notes will be added below this entry.
