Plugins :: Blog :: Calendar Update

1. I am very excited to see this update for the new elgg version. I have downloaded and installed and so far I have not had any issues. Previously I experienced a lot of issues that made the tool unuseable to me and my community, NOT ANYMORE! THANK YOU!

2. Thanks for this Ellen - I look forward to trying it out.

   Cheers.

3. Works for me in Elgg 0.8 release candidate 2 - though I had to change all the __gettext() in /mod/calendar/config.php to gettext() to stop it just displaying a blank page.

   I also 'tweaked' .today in /mod/calendar/css to have border-width: 3px; for a nonintrusive way to emphasise the current day.

   Keep up the good work Ellen

4. I'm very happy with the Calendar plugin, but would like some further improvements:
   1) Have a config option for selecting the time format to 24 hours
   2) Have an option for 'whole day event' (checkbox)
   3) Have the possibility to select a range of days (from date to date)
   I'm not able to do this myself, so I really hope somebody could implement this.

5. I'm actually trying it with 0.9

   It seems to work except that only "news" can add new events.

   Normal users have no permission to add new events, is there something I'm missing?

6. I've found it! It seems to fix the plugin for Elgg 0.9
   Change line 70 in mod/calendar/add.php
   
   from:
   if (! run("permissions:check","weblog")) {
   to:
   if (! run('permissions:check','profile')) {
   
   Can anyone confirm this???

   I can confirm that only Site administrators (eg News) can add new events to the calendar (0.2-0.8rc1) with Elgg 0.9 rc2 and that your fix seems to work . Thanks for this!

   I have also applied a 'cosmetic' tweak to display the orange RSS icon near the top left by changing

   <img src =". 
   "\"{$CFG->wwwroot}_templates/icons/rss.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"rss\" />

   to

   <img src =". 
   "\"{$CFG->wwwroot}mod/template/icons/rss.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"rss\" /> 

   around line 50 in lib.php.

   Have also noticed that when viewing a Calendar event the [Export] link isn't working in Elgg 0.9rc2. It gives a blank page rather than an iCal file download popup. I think I have set all the right permissions on the export file in Elgg's dataroot and have not yet had a close look at export.php etc to try to fix this.

8. thanks guys, my calendar is all happy now.!

9. Aha!
   
   The failure of Export from the Calendar turns out to be another manifestation of the default php_value memory_limit in .htaccess being too low.
   
   http://elgg.org/trac/ticket/250 - Thanks, Kevin for highlighting this!
   
   Doubling this to 32 MB cures the problem .
   
   Suspect many other 'blank page'-type error reports may have the same cause.
