Mightve been Japanese characters in the event tiltle ... but not on the calendar now - need to check again with alphabet only.

     I have the same problem, instead of normal subject I get this.Is there any help for it?

BTW, here is Serbian translation, both Latin and Cyrillic versions :):

     
--- Code: (Email.templates.serbian_latin-utf8.php) ---'event_reminder' => array(
/*
@additional_params: event_reminder
EVENTNAME: display name for member.
EVENTSTART: start date of the event.
TOPIC: url to forum topic for the event.
REALNAME: real user name.
@description:
*/
'subject' => 'Podsetnik',
'body' => '{REALNAME},

Ovaj email te podseća na  {EVENTNAME} koji počinje {EVENTSTART}.  Za više informacija klikni na sledeći link: {TOPIC}

{REGARDS}',
),
--- End code ---


--- Code: (Email.templates.serbian_cyrillic-utf8.php) ---'event_reminder' => array(
/*
@additional_params: event_reminder
EVENTNAME: display name for member.
EVENTSTART: start date of the event.
TOPIC: url to forum topic for the event.
REALNAME: real user name.
@description:
*/
'subject' => 'Подсетник',
'body' => '{REALNAME},

Овај емаил те подсећа на  {EVENTNAME} који почиње {EVENTSTART}.  За више информација кликни на следећи линк: {TOPIC}

{REGARDS}',
),
--- End code ---


--- Code: (Modifications.serbian_latin-utf8.php) ---// podsetnik
$txt['reminder_mod_day'] = 'dan';
$txt['reminder_mod_days'] = 'dana';
$txt['reminder_mod_week'] = 'sedmicu';
$txt['reminder_mod_weeks'] = 'sedmice';
$txt['reminder_noremind'] = 'ne podsećaj';
$txt['reminder_emailsubject'] = 'Podsetnik događaja!';
$txt['reminder_mod_before'] = ' ranije';
--- End code ---

$txt['reminder_noremind'] = 'не подсећај';
$txt['reminder_emailsubject'] = 'Подсетник догађаја!';
$txt['reminder_mod_before'] = ' раније';
--- End code ---

     Well, let me answer to myself  ;D

      Problem with subject was that I was using country-specific characters in subject, which was by some mail servers treated as code or something, so people were getting such a strange subject email.
      As soon as I changed subject to simple letters, with no special characters, everything worked.

      It SHOULD work and with special characters, especially because people in my country are using two kinds, cyrillic and latin sets, and sending and receiving emails written in them, but hey, I solved my problem!  ;D  It is important to me that subject is understandable, and I got it.

      HoverClub,thank you for this great mod!

Why not set a reminder for yourself using this mod, then send a newsletter "reminder" (Admin->Main->News and Newsletters->Newsletters) to specific groups?

--- End quote ---

With SMF 2's nicely paced email release what's the prospects of revisiting this request? As admin I would like to be able to subscribe all members that haven't unticked the "receive notifications from admins" box. In our case that would apply to all events, but obviously there may be events where that is not called for. Can I do this as a manual exercise via updating a database once the next year's calendar events are listed (typically an event every fortnight)? Obviously it would be really helpful to tick a box to announce the topic at the designated reminder point, any chance of that? The reality is that relying on myself to generate the reminders simply isn't realistic and an "opt out" .vs. "opt in" approach would be much more helpful. Thank you.

Vincent Volmer:
Thanks for this mod.....

It looks OK but I (and also other members) don't receive any notifications.....

We're using 2.0.2 with PortaMx (and some other mods).
What can be wrong? Did I miss a setting somewhere?

Thanks,
Vincent

HoverClub:
Check that the "Send Event Reminders" Scheduled Task is appearing properly (in the Scheduled Tasks log).
