New Calendar Module >> Seeking Pilot Group Members

I haven’t found any bugs yet...only improvements and questions which I posted to the download etc. site.
It is a nice module etc. and I am still figuring it out etc.
Thank you, Tom

thanks TomMLS, wait until the next release;

- More intuitive event entry
- full themeing support
- added functionality on the manager

Currently my thought is to release it late next week and that release will be announced through the extra’s section and ready for everyone.

Thanks again to all pilot members.

Cheers

Thank you for the update.
I’ll continue adding comments in the feature/release section and you can proceed accordingly.
It is going quite well for me, I must now use and study it more etc.
Thank you, Tom

teaser of the new date entry format for adding new events, which you can change the selection style from a 12 hour format to a 24 hour format via the module configuration tab. I have some cleaning up to do on the config tab window including internationalization (non-var words for field label) and adding tool-tips to each field.

Release 0.0.5b ready.

more to come shortly

12 hour format to a 24 hour format

Thank you for working on this...could military time please be the default, since then one never has to worry about the am/pm being incorrect, and your code can always correctly auto-fill the am/pm part??

I also don’t like having to use dropdowns.

Looking forward to new version.

Thank you, Tom

One other comment.

I fixed date-time display to look like:
Date & Time: April 2, 1:30 pm - April 2, 2:30 pm

To make it not repeat the month/day twice, to get:
Date & Time: April 2, 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

I used: define(’_mxCalendar_ed_dateformat2’, ’g:i a’); and put it into the class file like so:



This is line 579-80 or so.

I also changed the class file at lines 591-92:



Hope this helps someone, though perhaps someday this can be set up to be more easier to do with only the language files and not changing core code.

I have not tested with recurring events.

Thank you, Tom

P.S. Through further work with the defines and the above code sections, I imagine it would be possible to generate an even cleaner display of Date & Time: April 2, 1:30 - 2:30 pm, but then it could be difficult to generate a nice display for events starting in the AM and finishing in the PM...

note the version Tom is referring to is <= 0.0.4b just to limit confusion when the next release is available.

this is a feature change integrated into the next release, where there are now three different date formats defined in the language file for the corresponding event types:

- Full (all) day event date/time
- Start Date time (not flagged as all day event)
- End Date time (not flagged as all day event)

thanks again tom

You beat me to this!!

sorry tom...

well I hope to get the next release out next week and I think it will make everything much easier just through all the theme capabilities built in now.

lots and lots of changes thanks to feedback and continued efforts to drive this to be as flexible and efficient as possible.

sneak peak at a theme file for event detail, also the newest version support theme over-rides via chunks so that if you like all the theme display except for say the event list you can over-ride just that one display through parameter pass that loads a chuck instead.

cheers
