Calendar Google Crawl Errors for missing schema.org fields

[Alpha1]

Google reports a bunch of crawl errors. As the schema.org type 'event' is used, markup for the following is mandatory:

Errors:
Missing field "location"
Missing field "startDate"

Warnings:
Missing field "image"
Missing field "performer"
Missing field "endDate"

Good spot, I've added some more properties now.

Thanks, got the same from Google today too.

It seems Google is punishing for this error. Traffic declines with the number of errors found. Have others found the same paralel?

My /events/ traffic is certainly down a bit since the change-over, this might explain it.

Thanks. Thankfully it will be fixed soon.

Good spot. Looks like I forgot to manually merge changes from work done on my other machine. XF2 has spoiled me on that front.

It was the most important fix I was waiting for. Can we expect a new build?

Oops, I left a trailing comma by mistake. Grab the xml from the newest build I uploaded and that should get rid of that. Sorry

Warnings for still missing microdata:

1. image

Can be ignored for now. I have an update planned that will tweak how images are handled a bit which will also allow for a grid view.
