Category: Calendar

When I am using the calendar on mouseover the month the year changes colour. The normal colour of the month seems to be a red rather than the standard white and so cannot be seen against the blue background. You can see this at my site www.granthamlions.org.uk. Thanks

When adding new items to calendar, I get:

An error occured in a database query!

(Note: When creating an event in the calendar as an "All Day" event, it works as expected.)

When creating an event with a start and end time, the start time moves itself to the current time. Events appear on the calendar to span days. The end time looks correct.

When attempting to correct the start time, the clock now shows 7pm, December 31st, 1969 as the start. Changing the start time and saving it has no effect.

OS: OpenSUSE 15.1
Apache: 2.4.33
PHP: 7.2.5

Timezone is set to America/New York, system clock set to UTC. Clock appears correct in TikiWiki.

The calendar_new module does not display event links or popup boxes after a certain point in the month view when there are many events in a given month. The links and popups re-appear in week view or in month view if fewer calendars are aggregated into the mini-calendar. If an event is deleted in one of the aggregated calendars, the mini-calendar will show an additional day of links/popups. The problem appears to be associated with the number of events that must be displayed, although I cannot verify this. The links and popups disappear after about 35-50 events have been displayed.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
When a user clicks on the little magnifying glass to view an event, I would recommend that the first two items displayed be "Title" and "Description". The other items that currently appear first ("Calendar", "Recurrence", "Start" and "End"), although important, are usually not why the user clicked on that event.

Usually, the user is interested in finding out more about what the event is - information included primarily in the "Description".

The event's "Title" is all that can be viewed initially for a given date and it includes only a few words. If the user's interest is piqued by those few words, the first thing the user would like to see is a fuller description.

Currently, the user clicks on the event and then has to click on the magnifying glass and then has to read half-way down the page before finding out more about the event proper.

Those other items could be more usefully placed below "Description" so that they can be read if the user is interested.

I would argue that this would make the calendar more user-friendly.

I would also encourage placement of the magnifying glass to the left of the "edit" icon (when the user first clicks on an event) for similar reasons. Many more people will want to view an item than edit it, so the magnifying glass (or "view" icon) would more usefully come first.

Having this code on a page:

{CODE(theme="default")}{EVENTS(calendarid="2" datetime="1" max="10" usePagination="y")}{EVENTS}{CODE}

Will work fine when logged in, but will generate a db_error when not logged in.

Also, tiki-calendar.php is generating a php error on line 284, as TikiLib::date_format('m', $dday) returns 'm'. I changed this line of code to instead use %m, and that seemed to fix the problem.

It looks as though there is a Calendar import feature using CSV (tiki-calendar_import.php) however there are no options to export as CSV in tikiwiki 3.2. The only Calendar export option that I see is exporting to iCal (via tiki-calendar_export_ical.php) but that is not working for our group ([http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=3152]).

Can Calendar export to CSV be possible?

We are running in a multi tiki environment on Windows Server 2003, tikwiki 3.2 and php 5.3.

When you have more than one calendar, and you have user watches enabled, the display of the icons to watch calendars is not shown. I tagged this as a dogfood a tiki.org site since this is an improvement needed for tiki users to get notified on Tiki fests, for instance. Currently, most powerusers don't know that they can monitor the tiki calendar.

In order to monitor calendars right now, you need to deselect all calendars, re-select just one, refresh, and then you will see the icon to watch / monitor /subscribe to the calendar. And you need to do that one by one.

Expected behavior: some way to see the list of all calendars with the icon to subscribe to each of them next to its name. Maybe through similar popup with the full list of calendars that you have the right to see and monitor, and then, you expose those icons/actions there?

Show.t.o instance:
http://xavi-9794-5877.show.tikiwiki.org
u: admin
p: 12345

There are 3+ calendars already, and when all are selected for display (default behavior), no icon to monitor them is shown:
http://xavi-9794-5877.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-calendar.php

{img fileId="1037" thumb="box"}

But when you select just one, you can see the icons to monitor it:
http://xavi-9794-5877.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-calendar.php?calIds%5B%5D=3&todate=1459860043&refresh=Refresh

{img fileId="1038" thumb="box"}

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
External feeds don't show anymore the date of the feeded content, and they used to do while in Tiki3. After upgrade to Tiki4 and Tiki5 (or with new Tiki5 installs), dates are not shown any more.

The problem might be in the Tiki providing the feeds, not the tiki getting them.

E.g.:
http://moviments.net (using Tiki 3.5 by the time of this bug report) is set to fetch in a module in the right column (called "__Altres esdeveniments__") the feed from a site with Tiki 5rc2 (from svn) here:
http://intercanvis.net/tiki-calendars_rss.php?ver=2

Previously, the right modules in moviments.net was showing the dates properly of each calendar item fetched.

Accessing tiki-calendar.php returns

Those radio buttons should look like bootstrapped Tiki (colors, borders rounded, etc).

Full Calendar displays 12pm insteat of 12am if day view is used - annoying and confusing small bug.

{img fileId="1063" thumb="box"}

The FullCalendar UI doesn't load in Mobile mode, neither in the Calendar nor in the ((doc:PluginTrackerCalendar)) features.
Therefore, nothing is hsown at all for the user.

Potential Solution/Workaround: at least use the former calendar UI as a fallback?

Reproduced in the show.t.o instance:
http://xavi-9794-4993.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-calendar.php

u: admin
p: 12345

when you switch back to use the former calendar UI (you disable full calendar: http://xavi-9794-4993.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-admin.php?page=calendar > "Use FullCalendar to display calendars"), then the standard Tiki Calendar ( http://xavi-9794-4993.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-calendar.php ) is shown.

The PluginTrackerCalendar uses only FullCalendar, and it would be appropriate, I guess, to make it show tracker items in the former Calendar UI at least (since no calendar is shown at all, since it's hardcoded, so far, to use only FullCalenadar). It can be reproduced here:
http://xavi-9794-4993.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Community%20Members%20HomePage > "3. Add other tentative events in the common Agenda"
(see that section with non mobile mode to compare)

There are checkboxes to choose which days of the week to display in the calendar when creating/editing a calendar. I would expect when saved it will not display these days unchecked but instead it displays them all.

Please see: ((Project Management)) and ((TrackerToGanttChart))

Calendar should be like the other elements in the menu

for exemple:
Calendar
view calendar
add an event (which means we need an URL for this)
admin calendar

Have to set number of days to archive events when creating calendar.

steps to reproduce:
go to calendar
go to admin
fill in form but leave "Delete events older than" blank.

expected result:
calendar created

actual result:
"Notice: this variable may not be empty: days "

Hi:
I can't add recurrent events in this web site:
http://moviments.net/uelm/tiki-calendar.php

Neither me, nor other editors in this web site.
Single items can be added with no problem.

However, I've tried to reproduce the problem in local , and I haven't been able to do so. I can add single events, and recurrence rules without problems.

I can provide the db of the problematic site, to allow further investigation of the settings in that site...

When hovering over an item, there opens a tooltip. This tooltip got a titlebar that reads the time and some title. For changes in the Wiki it reads e.g. "17:43 - Wiki". But for Blogs it reads "17:43 - Name of the blog". Perhaps better would be "17:43 - Name of the blog Blog" or "17:43 - Blog: Name of the Blog".

This is especially interesting for Forums, because the "o" as an icon for forums doesn't tell most people anything.

When selecting 'Quarter' in a Tiki-calendar it show the correct months (three), however when moving up or down it jumps 4 months.

Reproduction:
- http://info.tiki.org/tiki-calendar.php?viewmode=quarter
- It shows (at time of writing): January - March 2015
- Press the right arrow makes that: May - July 2015

Expected:
- This should be April - June 2015

Hint:
I noticed three arrays in tiki-calendar.php, where quarter is defined with 4 months in stead of 3.

We are using ((doc:Daily reports)) in a productin site running Tiki12 LTS (svn).

I've just noticed that there are some Undefined index messages thrown when the php console.php is run:
{CODE(colors="php", caption="cd /var/www/tiki12/;php console.php daily-report:send")}
PHP Notice: Undefined index: start in /var/www/ueb/lib/calendar/calendarlib.php on line 447

In groups of people you often have the problem to find day/time when all the people have time to meet.

Especially if they are not in the same room.
And even if they are present its difficult to talk about all the pro and cons when is the best time.

Is offering an easy solution. Everybody marks the spots when he has time. Doodle comes up with a proposal, when is the best time to meet. No discussions, every vote has the same weight, non-party and you can always reproduce how the decission was formed.

Can we integrate something like this? Especially because the Tiki direction goes more in decision making.
That feature would fit perfectly in.

Minor annoyances:
-Manually entered times in "add item" do not always show up in the calendar as entered (often an hour off). Simply editing the item and re-entering the time fixes this.

-I ran across a limit on the number of calendar items. I had entered a large list of events and later ones disappeared from tha calendar -even in whole year view. I deleted old events and they came back. maybe this is isolated.

-If I mistakenly created a calendar, I could not delete it until it had at least one event entered.

Nice to haves:
-Some way of differentiating calendar entires from different calendars when they are combined. Ex:one calendar shows events people can go to volunteer to actually do something , one shows speaking engagements people can go and listen to. I now simply use HTML bold tags in the description of one of the calendars. This works but maybe some other way? Colors, different font perhaps?

-Ability to easily add link for a Google Map. Perhaps fields to enter address info and then auto generate a map link. Google Maps has this and can be put into a Tiki page but Google Maps lacks important features, like a list view and multiple calendars, that Tiki Calendar has.
