  thanks for comment in frist place. i think that part sucks abit still

  is my intention to rewrite it from scratch, leaving a plain "unknown" for new players. as it often happens that new players (marked dps) pass unnoticed and i do my math wrong during invites.

  so a invalid setting in save variables should list it as UNKNOWN

  BUG:
  Strangely some events in my calendar don't show the Calendar Inviter window when I click on them whilst others do. I've just reloaded my UI with only Calendar Inviter loaded and the problem is persisting. It seems all events I make myself are ok but apart from that I cannot identify the cause e.g. a TOC25 guild run I am listed in won't bring up the window but a PUG run for TOC25 does. Being set to assistant makes no difference either. I am going to clear the saved variables for the addon to see if that helps but otherwise I'm not sure how to solve it.

  EDIT: If it's any help I've figured that it's only not showing when certain members of my guild have been invited but I cannot see a link between the names (see below). They're a mixture of alts, officers and social members and I've not assigned Healer/DPSmelee/DPSranged/tank to any of them in CalendarInviter as of yet.

  Sarandir
  Veiks
  Louisvuitton
  Lagspyke
  Iltwoll

  EDIT 2: It seems clearing the saved variables has sorted it but obviously I've lost all the role assignements I had given. Upon checking the saved variables .lua file it appears all problematic characters are set to :     

  ["Sarandir"] = {
  "dps", -- [1]
  "dps", -- [2]

  As far as I can tell "dps" was the old label for players who performed dps in raids but during a recent update the distinction between melee and ranged was included. In doing so the "dps" label was replaced with "1" for melee? and "2" for ranged (similarly "Healers" and "Tanks" were changed to "3" and "4"). It seems to me that in the case of players previously marked as dps the function for updating the old label types in my old database isn't working correctly to update them to the new label, hence they are still listed as I wrote above (with the "dps" label). For anyone else having a similar problem that doesn't want to lose their non dps labels given to players from an old database I suggest backing up the CalendarInviter.lua file in Saved Variables folder first then editing the old one by using find and replace in your text editor to change:

  "dps", -- [1]  with 1, -- [1]

  and

  "dps", -- [2] with 2, -- [2]

  I've not fully tested this myself yet but it should convert all players set to the existing DPS label to both dps melee and dps ranged. Obviously some work is then needed to go through and pick the suitable dps for each but atleast you don't lose all the labelled healers and tanks. Unfortunately with my inferior knowledge I can't tell if the function isn't working correctly or if it's just not being called in the first place.
