Change MyEvents to My Events to avoid trademark infringement

Before you acquiesce to this demand, take a serious look at what Plone's Trademark conmmittee had to say about it http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.plone.user/44859

Discussion is moot - I've already done so. "MyEvents" is trademarked; "My Events" is not. "MyEvents" is, as seanr mentioned privately, an incredibly lame mash-up that was popular five years ago; "My Events" is not.

I recently installed CivicSpace 0.8.5 for a client and they just got one of these letters. Since the changelog indicates CivicSpace 0.8.5 has the patches from Drupal 4.6.8, I decided to try to apply the eventfinder_46.patch (assuming "46" refers to Drupal 4.6.x).

After examining the patch in a text editor, I saw that it gets applied to the files "eventfinder_themes.inc" and "eventfinder.module". I downloaded those two files from the host and put them in a temporary folder on my KDE (FC4) desktop. Opening a console in that folder, I attempted to apply the patch. Results follow:

[user@localhost eventfinder_download]$ patch -p0 < eventfinder_46.patch
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file eventfinder.module
Hunk #1 FAILED at 298.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 1829 (offset 683 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 1860 (offset 683 lines).
1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file eventfinder.module.rej
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file eventfinder_themes.inc
Hunk #1 succeeded at 77 (offset 11 lines).
[user@localhost eventfinder_download]$

I'm not very familiar with using the patch command, but that looks like failure to me. Contents of "eventfinder.module.rej" follow:

***************
*** 298,304 ****
    $opts = array('Above Event Details', 'Below Event Details');
    $group = form_radios('Display EventFinder Options', 'ef_display_opts', variable_get('ef_display_opts', 1), $opts, 'Define where to place EventFinder options relative to the content of the event details.');
    $group .= form_textarea('Search Description', 'ef_search_desc', variable_get('ef_search_desc', ''), '100%', 3, 'Description for the main search interface.');
-   $group .= form_textarea('MyEvents Description', 'eventfinder_myevents_desc', variable_get('eventfinder_myevents_desc', ''), '100%', 3, 'Description for the MyEvents page.');
    $group .= form_textarea('Host an Event Description', 'eventfinder_host_desc', variable_get('eventfinder_host_desc', ''), '100%', 3, 'Description for the Host an Event page.');
    $group .= form_textarea('Send Message to Registered Users Description', 'ef_message_desc', variable_get('ef_message_desc', ''), '100%', 3, 'Description for the Send Message to Registered Users page.');
    $output .= form_group('Display Settings', $group);

    $group .= form_textarea('Search Description', 'ef_search_desc', variable_get('ef_search_desc', ''), '100%', 3, 'Description for the main search interface.');
+   $group .= form_textarea('My Events Description', 'eventfinder_myevents_desc', variable_get('eventfinder_myevents_desc', ''), '100%', 3, 'Description for the My Events page.');
    $group .= form_textarea('Host an Event Description', 'eventfinder_host_desc', variable_get('eventfinder_host_desc', ''), '100%', 3, 'Description for the Host an Event page.');
    $group .= form_textarea('Send Message to Registered Users Description', 'ef_message_desc', variable_get('ef_message_desc', ''), '100%', 3, 'Description for the Send Message to Registered Users page.');
    $output .= form_group('Display Settings', $group);

It's not clear to me whether this is an issue with the patch itself, my usage of the patch command or just a CivicSpace vs. Drupal thing.

Any help deeply appreciated.

You shouldn't need the patch - just download the current version of eventfinder for 4.6, and it should already be applied. This issue only remains open as a reminder to doublecheck the forthcoming 4.7 build.
