New event calendar module: ProCalendar

[Argos]

You're right. I updated the info.php and the link (I must have forgotten to save the last time I checked it).

[instantflorian]

Hi,

I've got a feature request: it is possible to add a RSS feed to the calendar which shows the next upcoming or the last added events? Only if it's not too complicated.

(Just an idea of a customer of mine...)

Can be done.
Might be that for including customs a bit php editing might be needed.

what do you need to be rss-ed?


John

First RSS feeder for testing!!!!!

demo : http://www.pcwacht.nl/modules/procalendar/rss.php?page_id=32

1 unzip rss.zip
2 copy rss.php to modules/procalendar
3 call rss - http://www.yourdomain.com/modules/procalendar/rss.php?page_id=12
( Set page_id to match your situation !!! )

If there are events, they should show up.

Variables you might like to play with: lines 14 to 20

Code:

// Editable values
// Show how many items, defaults to 10?
$max   = 10;

// Set time frame for coming events, default one year
$year2 = $year + 1;
$month2 = $month;

If you need 6 months, set $month2 = $month+6; and $year2 = $year;
If you need 1 year and 6 months, set $month2 = $month+6; and $year2 = $year+1;


Have fun,
John

Hi,

Thank you very much so far. Currently, it doesn't work  yet:

Code:

Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Berlin' for 'CEST/2.0/DST' instead in .../modules/procalendar/rss.php on line 11

But this is not so important for me in the moment.

I encountered a strange bug:
click on options > e.g. Template and there on "Save"
click again on "Template" => all fields are empty
go back => default settings for use time, start/end date, not the customized ones
click on "Back", click again on "options" and on "template" => everything OK

Will digg in the bug

What php version do you have? for dealing with the warning.

John

[instantflorian]

Hi John,

it's PHP 5.3

BR

I just tested it on my demo site and I cannot confirm this. Everything works like it should. There are no empty fields like you described. I use the latest WB and PHP 5.2.9

[instantflorian]

Well, it definitively happens here... I've tested again with Firefox and Chrome, same effect.
WB 2.8.2 Rev. 1506 with your BE-Theme Rev. 1.6
PHP Version 5.3.8-1~dotdeb.1

If you want to have a look, I can create an account for you...

[Argos]

Please create an account for both me and John, so we can have a look. Just PM us. Thanks Florian.

[pcwacht]

The bug seems to be browser related.
With IE no errors
With Firefox I had same bug.

Will look into it to see where it comes from.

John

[pcwacht]

Found the rss bug
It seems at your server the default_timezone is not set in php.ini.
Now the rss.php will set default_timezone to avoid that.

Found the strange template save bug.
After save the link was
--/modules/procalendar/modify_settings.php?page_id=2&section_id=2
wich should be
--/modules/procalendar/modify_settings.php?page_id=2&section_id=2
It look slike IE interprete it as it should, and Firefox didn't.

Attached a zip with three files, unpack, overwrite at server.

If it fixes at your server as well we can release 1.0.4

Hi John,

great! No problems any more... thank you so much.

I have updated the module to 1.0.4.

[croony]

Hi,

I just tested the ProCalenar and I think it's a pretty nice work. The only thing I miss is a Group selection when I set the visibility of an entry to private. Is it possible for me to add this Group selection in any way?

Regards,

croony

[Argos]

Good suggestion. I hope John will find the time and a way to do that!

[pcwacht]

The current private/public option is a per user visibility setting, not for a group!!!!

If user1 enters an event he can set it to private (or better personal), no other user will see them (maybe admin, didn't test that )


What you need is not implemented.

This looks like a great module with a lot of options - about time there was a better calendar module!

I noticed that your "Download and try it for yourself" link still points to a [wblink]. This is a problem with WB2.8.2 which I have had to correct in every installation...

In the WYSIWYG module's view.php file, I added back the code from the previous version of WB:

Code:

$wb->preprocess($content);      # <-- Added; don't know why this line was removed

The internal links are then correctly converted.

[Argos]

I just checked again, and noticed that the link was right when I was logged in, but wrong after logging out. When I switched from the default editor to another editor, the problem was gone.

[pcwacht]

Link still faulty.

Soon first tests with groups access will be done, if it is ok there will be an update
Events can be:
public, everyone can see
private, only owner of event can see it (and admin)
groupname, user belonging to that group can see the event (and admin ofcourse)

If you want to test this, you'll need to download a new functions.php at : http://www.pcwacht.nl/pages/kalendar/extrainfo.php
Then rename existing functions.php in /modules/procalendar
Upload the new unzipped functions.php.
There are no db or other changes needed.
To undo, delete functions.php and rename the old functions.php back.

Allso fixed a very tiny error, when in frontview viewing december, next month link doesn't has a title, same with januari, previous link is without a title.

Link still faulty.

Not here. Tested all browsers. Weird....

[pcwacht]

And I did a ctrl-f5 in IE , hard reload
Checked in IE and FF

See attached pic, look at statusbar

John

[Argos]

I don't understand. To get rid of the weird problem I just changed the WB link into a hard URL.

[pcwacht]

quoted from tiggerific:  $wb->preprocess($content);      # <-- Added; don't know why this line was removed
Not yet confirmed, but I had to replace this as well some time ago.

Don't know if it was a first 282 release .....
Did allso see the preprocess somewhere else.. will dig into it in a clean wb282 including servicepacks, hotfixes and other updates (seems WB wants to mimic Microsoft?)

Hello John,

I had the same issue once with another module I worked on.
I derived a simple function from the preprocess method of class wb.

You may have a look if this helps to resolve the issue.

The function goes like this:

Code:

<?php // <?php to force forum colorizer, ignore this line
/*
 *
 * replace all "[wblink{page_id}]" with real links
 * @param string &$content : reference to global $content
 * @return void
 * @history 100216 17:00:00 optimise errorhandling, speed, SQL-strict
 * NOTE: this function is derrived from the CORE Function to be found in framework/class.frontend.php
 */
 if (!function_exists('preprocess_internal_links')){
function preprocess_internal_links(&$content)
{
global $database;
$replace_list = array();
$pattern = '/\[wblink([0-9]+)\]/isU';
if(preg_match_all($pattern,$content,$ids))
{
foreach($ids[1] as $key => $page_id) {
$replace_list[$page_id] = $ids[0][$key];
}
foreach($replace_list as $page_id => $tag)
{
$link = $database->get_one('SELECT `link` FROM `'.TABLE_PREFIX.'pages` WHERE `page_id` = '.(int)$page_id);
if(!is_null($link))
{
$link = WB_URL.PAGES_DIRECTORY.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION;
$content = str_replace($tag, $link, $content);
}
}
}
}
}

Stefek
