Looks good so far.

How hard would it be to add a 'Priority' box to put a number for importance 1, 2,3 or even better small flag icons red, yellow, green? Because then you can also use it to not only indicate event type 'birthday' etc but you can use it as a todo list

Nice Changes... Already testing it...

One thing I found... the Arrows Left and Right...
Line 124 & 137 or about...  echo $WB_URL;      I had to take the $ out for it to find the file correctly otherwise the alt text was displaying

On the administrative side...A few German Words slipping in on the settings page...   Layouteinstellungen, Kopfzeile, Fu?zeile


Looks good so far.. I'll test some more and let you know If I find anything else

Hello,

One thing I found... the Arrows Left and Right...
Line 124 & 137 or about...  echo $WB_URL;      I had to take the $ out for it to find the file correctly otherwise the alt text was displaying

Fixed, added to view.php

Code:

$WB_PATH = WB_PATH;
$WB_URL = WB_URL;

On the administrative side...A few German Words slipping in on the settings page... Smiley  Layouteinstellungen, Kopfzeile, Fu?zeile

Fixed, changed it in EN.php and NL.php

So if your additions are implemented, i think we got RC2 in the next few hours.

Hi All...

I'm new to WebSite Baker and think its great, I have been working with ruebenwurzel  to update some of the Event Calendar Module and am surprised how easy the WB Modules are to manage and create , kudos to Ryan and All the Developers...

One Issue i had, especialy during the testing of various changes is when a New event is added it has to be saved, if its not saved there ends up being an empty entry. Looking deeper this appears to be an issue with a number of modules.. . small issue, but i have a simple "fix"

Attached is an updated modify.php for the Event Calendar v1.4 RC2, (specfically lines 35 and 36)  For those developers out there...  When modifing the page within the WB Admin,  in this case the calendar page the additional code will remove any "empty" records from the database and automatically leaning up those extra empty records that may exist...
 
To "Install"
Backup your existing database (I always do, just in case)
Update your event calendar as seen above
backup and overwrite the modify.php in the modules/event folder
now go "edit" the Event Calendar page within the Administration, if empty records exist this should remove them...

simple yet effective, Hopefully can be added to the release of the Event Calendar and other modules that have the same Issue, just change the table names and your "required" field name..

Any Questions please ask... Hopefully I can be of assistance and help develop more WB modules and enhancements to make WB even greater than it already is

Thanks
Rob

[ruebenwurzel]

OK,

after there seems to be no more wishes and bugs at the moment, i've decided to release the RC3 as the Final version. So you can download it at the addons repository.

Have fun

Matthias

[kweitzel]

aaahhh ... if just every module developer would do that (notify you, woudloper or even me ..) when they think their module is ready

cheers

Hi

I am late with the wish for the Event Calendar -

In the "link" field it would be nice to have also options for "target". For internal links in the site it's not very useful to have a new blank page - for links to external pages it is ok to have _blank as target.

Thanks.

Martin

[ruebenwurzel]

And here is the next version

and another big big thanks to Rob Smith. He fixes and adds wishes to modules faster then anyone else .

Changelog:
     + Added internal link default ="_parent"(Tanks to rsmith)
     + Added external link default="_blank" (Tanks to rsmith)
     + Fixed issues in language files (Thanks to rsmith)
     + Added FR language File(Tanks to rsmith)
     + changed all <? to <?php in view.php

How to update:
From version 1.4 to 1.5 only overwrite the files with the new ones, there are no database changes
From 1.3 to 1.5 overwrite all files and run once the "upgrade_event_from1 3_to14.php" script

@Bennie Wijs
Sorry, saw that you updated today at completed modules to v1.4, could you change the files to v1.5 too, Thanks.

Matthias

Edit:
newer version some posts below

[Tin]

Found a small glitch:

In view.php n line 252 is debug code - can be deleted:

echo " |<B> ".$url1." = ".$url2['host']."</B> | ";

Martin

[rsmith]

Ooops... Thought I got them all...

here it is fixed

[ruebenwurzel]

@rsmith

saw that you have used an older version of the view.php in your modul version. Have made a few more changes with <? and <?php and restructured the file for me to better understand what's happening in it. Attached there is a new version 1.5 with all this and the deleted debugging line. Please use this version.

Hi,

I just downloaded this module to test - installed it - while creating a page I got the following error message:

Code:

Table 'wgs.wb_mod_event_settings' doesn't exist

After that looking on this site to edit, there is shown the following code:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/usr/local/httpd/virtuell/wiehengebirgsschule/www-data/modules/event/modify.php on line 44

May be its an error of this strange school computer, will try  it later from home.

Or is there something missing in my installation process?

Greets, Axel

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

yes there seems to be going something wrong with your installation. Can you try to uninstall and then do a new install.

It seems that the tables are not correct created.

Matthias

[pcwacht]

And you did install through
admin -> addons -> modules -> etc?


If you only ftp-ed the files it won't get installed..



John

[ami]

So, back at home.

I deinstalled that module, downloaded it again, installed it (successful, no error message). Then I tried to create a new page with this module. The same problems described above.

And you did install through
admin -> addons -> modules -> etc?

Correct, that was my way.

Update: I tried it on another webspace - there it works. May be there is a problem with the webserver, php, mysql or something else. Will try more...

Axel

[pcwacht]

During the install fase the tables should be made.
Have a look in install.php, there you will see what tables needs to be made

You could open a code section and paste the content of install.php without the <?php and ?> into it and view that code page.
Maybe it 'll show some errors wich could reveal the problem


John

[ami]

Hi John,

I did so, created a code page and inserted the content of install.php in the codepage-textarea. Clicking on save produces the following error:

Code:

You have an error in your SQL syntax near '\'' ,'' . '' `evheader` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL DEFAULT \''\'' ,'' . '' '
at line 1

So I did not get a result when viewing the page. 

Some additions:
I reinstalled the module with options - modules - etc. The table mod_event_settings does not exist, the table mod_event_dates has been created.

Axel

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello ami,

i think it has to do with the mysql version. With wich version does it work and with wich it doesn't? We changed something in install.php to make the modules compatible to the newest mysql versions. Maybe we have to fix some more or go back for older versions.

Thanks for your infos.

Hi

Short question - I thought that outdated events are deleted from dislplay and from database? Or did I misss something?

Over here, outdated events are still displayed in the monthly overview.

Martin

[rsmith]

Hi

I thought that outdated events are deleted from dislplay and from database?

Currently No, Outdate events are not removed from the database, ie You can see what happend last month etc...

This could be an additional setting added in the future


Rob

[ami]

Hi there,

here are the version numbers of my webservers:

First: PHP 4.1.2, mysql 3.23.37, (Apache 1.3.22) - on this server I got the problems
Second: PHP 4.3.8, mysql 3.23.49, (Apache 2.0.50) - it works correct

Axel

[Tin]

This could be an additional setting added in the future

Ok - you put it on the list ?
