This is in 1.9.8 only. In 1.9.7, On save the opening and closing hour of an event were moved to one hour later.

In order to avoid duplication of effort, It would be very nice to be able insert a calendar item when editing an article in Tiki.

I imagine that as a new option in article edit form, for any article type or just some type, like "event", or so. You should be able to select the date or dates to insert that info in the calendar feature, select which calendar, etc.

So that calendar and upcoming_events module is updated when a new article is posted with that option selected.

The GUI layout in tiki-calendar_edit_item.php breaks if localization comes into play. Look at the screenshot (attachment) to see these issues, that surface when you want to introduce a repeated event. They are:
a) in "monthly" all ordinals below 10 have a leading zero, which is unnessary. It would do no harm, but surprisingly the leading 0 is separated by the number with a space, which together render wider than the space that was allocated for that, leaving only the leading 0 visible... There is no dot, although ordinals in German have a dot "sixth" is spelled "6." in German.
b) in "yearly", where you can for instance define "every 6th of a month", there is the dot, but as a text input field? Actually you cannot write in there, but is is layouted as a text input field (white background). And here also the width is highly insufficient.

c) I cannot translate the "End period" string. Even if I add the array_merge to custom.php (see the bug report for that). And in tiki-calendar_edit_item.php I do see tr in curly braces, so it should respond to language.php and custom.php, but it doesn't?

With a new install and you click on "add event" (after activating calendar) you get an error "Permission denied you can not view this page".

However, the real problem is that no calendar has been created so tikiwiki can't add the event.

The error message should be more descriptive.

PluginConvene UI doesn't allow editing date choices for a user anymore

Reproduced here:
https://tiki.org/Roundtable+Meeting+2016+11

Add a user, and then, attempt to edit the user choices: the dropdowns to choose from the options for each date are not shown, but same page is reloaded, with a very long url, etc.

PluginConvene UI doesn't display X number cells when casting choices after user added X number of new dates. Reproduced here:
https://tiki.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=201909+TAG+Meeting&newver=44&oldver=43

I added two new date options, and then, when I attempted to edit my choices through Convene UI, I was not able to add all my choices, 2 cells were missing. In fact, they were missing also at display time. Odd.
Gary reported some similar oddity in that page also:
https://tiki.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=201909+TAG+Meeting&newver=24&oldver=23

When I use ((doc:PluginConvene)), I often have some slots that I ''could'' do but it would mean bumping another meeting, or some other annoyance.

Could we have additional options? Like "Ok, but..." and this would be worth fewer points (say 0.5).

And then, meeting organizer could make a better decision...

You can not preview a message written through tiki-messaging system (inter-user messages), prior to its post.

Same on trackers.

When using multiple calendars, the "Preview" function for editing events has a bug: Editing an event in a calendar and previewing may ask to save the event in a different calendar - it appears that this is always the last added calendar (with the highest ID in the table).

This should be an easy fix, that's why I've put the priority up high.

Calendar is coming along nicely. It would be nice to have a printable version

# without right & left borders.
# without truncating titles

Hi everyone,

When I create a calendar event (for example) on April 8, in the view mode by weeks, the event appears on April 7 (lag of one day).

..bug?

Any idea about this?..bug?

thanks a lot!
Regards.

Url .../tiki-minical.php?view=weekly&day=24&mon=05&year=2009

In minical, in the light of daily and weekly scroll backward jumps in twos and forward does not change.


sorry for bad translation

provide some button for users to save their choices (or cancel) other than the edit button they clicked on to display the options to choose from to make it more consistent with the rest of tiki

See it reproduced here:
https://tiki.org/Roundtable+Meeting+2016+09

Just a weird little bug. The numeral "5" seems to appear randomly beside calendar entries; not on all, just a few.

Record Calendar-related actions at the Action log

It's currently now possible through the ((doc:Action Log)) to display ((doc:Calendar)) actions, since they seem not to be recorded.

Calendar is buggy in some edge cases, and recods in the action log would help to find out when the issues happen.

If you want a tiki with calendars and action log setup already for your, see this:
http://xavi-9794-5877.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-admin_actionlog.php
u: admin

Three issues with recurrence rules in 3.0 (tested in 3.0beta1, at the http://tikiwiki.org/TikiLiveCD 0.5a)

# When you hit preview event (before adding the new event to the calendar), the recurrence rule data is lost.
# -- A recurrence rule conflicts with something else. I get "~~red:Events cannot end before they start~~", but the settings are not to produce this warning/error message. The event canot be posted to the calendar. See image attached to this bug report.--
# If admin has not set the default calendar to be viewed by default (I didn't even know about that new setting in 3.0), events are not shown in the calendar for each user until that single user clicks on "Visible Calendars", and select the calendar (even if only one!), in order to view the events he/she has just added. Another user has to do the same process.

updated May 4th 2009: the second bug report from the list of three can't be reproduced anymore, at least with tiki3rc1.
The third, seems fixed in a quick trial I?ve just made (I read days ago that nyloth fixed that).

The first one about the preview is still applicable.

When weekly recurrent events are entered into a calendar, and the recurrent event spans a DST transition date, all events after the DST transition date are offset by one hour.

The way it SHOULD work is that the local time for the recurrent event should not change. (What Tiki is apparently doing is keeping the UTC time constant, not the local time.)

should have Recurring events feature on calendar, that will be great...

Problem as described in summary.

We have two calendar interfaces in Tiki. The newer ((doc:FullCalendar)) and the legacy code. This is more work to maintain, etc.

* Upgrade FullCalendar to latest version. Decide if we use
** latest version http://blog.arshaw.com/1/post/2013/09/fullcalendar-news.html
** or stick with the one we use now FullCalendarResourceViews, which is needed for the ((doc:PluginTrackerCalendar)), its development gets in sync every now and then with the original FullCalendar, and allows to do ressource planning: https://github.com/jarnokurlin/fullcalendar
* Review any FullCalendar issues such as:
** https://dev.tiki.org/item4248 https://doc.tiki.org/FullCalendar
** https://dev.tiki.org/item4993 - FullCalendar doesn't show in Mobile mode in 12.x LTS
* Remove legacy code and put FullCalendar as the always on default way to show calendars
* And then, [http://themes.tiki.org/item67|Make FullCalendar use Bootstrap classes and be responsive]

I would like to have someone develop a resource checkout system. This could be for a small library of books, videos, etc. or other resource that people can check out (company van, etc.).

Admin Side:
* Category admin
* Resource admin
* Users admin
* Inventory status (what is checked out, what is in stock etc.)
* Users who currently have the item
* Checkout length admin (custom settings by item, or blanket timeframe, or no checkout length)

User Side:
* List of items available (categorized by type: videos, books, tapes, etc.)
* List of items you are on the waiting list for
* Your position in the list (You are 3rd in line for this item)

Automatic Pieces:
* User notification of an item coming due / past due
* User notification that the item they were waiting for has been checked back in.


This might also be able to be expanded to serve as a rental pool with just a little extra work.

RSS feed for articles is last 10 articles published with title, date & time, description & link.

RSS feed for calendar will be upcoming 10 events with title, date & time, description & link.

Nice to have: permission checking to make sure feed only contains events visible by anonymous.

An example:
http://facil.qc.ca/cal/rss.php


2006-04-11: It's partially done:
http://repex.qc.ca/tiki-calendars_rss.php?ver=2

Only some of the events are shown, but not all.

Please make sur it's included to tiki-bot_bar.tpl & header.tpl for all styles.

We already are able to show articles, wiki page changes, etc on our calendar. So, how about showing RSS feeds on tiki-calendar.php? That would be a nice way to aggregate all the RSS feeds :-)

RSS feeds could be filtered much the same way as Group Calendars and Tools Calendars. A third column would be added with all available RSS feeds. Users could select via checkbox which RSS feeds they want. (By default none are selected)

Therefore, thanks to RSS in & out for calendars, several Tiki sites could federate calendar data via RSS.
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-calendars_rss.php?ver=2

Later, we can add ical and hcalendar (http://www.microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar). But in the mean time, it's an easy & efficient solution for calendar sharing :-)

WebCalendar has a Remote Calendars feature to support hCalendar (for example)
http://webcalendar.cvs.sourceforge.net/webcalendar/webcalendar/edit_remotes_handler.php?revision=1.7&view=markup

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.

When displaying a count of changes for a particular object the HTML to make that number bold is displayed.

===Example:===
OlgaEarLeftSideFace.png (x<b>15</b>)

"Show" is created. Example can be seen be clicking the "ActionCalendarExample" page from the "Last Changes" submenu of the "Wiki" menu.
