Calendar version 1.0 has been released.

What's new:

  b) Now Requires CGExtensions
  c) Complete Re-do of the recurring events
      Recur Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly
      Specify a recurring interval, a recurring end date, and an optional maximum number of recurring events.
  d) Tweaking to the category interface
  e) Implement lazy loading for faster, and leaner frontend display
  f)  Cleanup the settings panel and remove un-necessary parameters
  g) Cleanup the events tab on the admin
  h) More...

Enjoy.

Enjoy.

I certainly will

Have just downloaded this so haven't had a chance to play with it properly yet, but:

1. It should be made clear in the description that CGExtensions is required
2. If CGExtensions is not present could it not just say 'Missing Dependency' instead of throwing a horrible error which breaks the whole Modules page?

Is this the replacement for the current calendar module?
Does it have RSS and or iCal?
Does this mean that anyone with calendar data currently will have to re-enter it all? (It would appear so?)

[Pépou]

I just upgrade my calendar.
I have an error :

Warning: Parameter table_id is not known... dropped in /home/webmaster/lib/misc.functions.php on line 1301

See : http://www.carabinsnicois.fr/index.php

What can I do ?

[Pépou]

I cannot insert the table_id=... !

It always displays :

Warning: Parameter table_id is not known... dropped in /home/webmaster/lib/misc.functions.php on line 1301

Same thing for table_id='cal-upcominglist'

Any idear ?

[calguy1000]

Read up.

Calendar 1.0 is not compatible with previous versions. 

table_id is one of those parameters that is no longer supported.  Mostly because it never was really necessary.

@Russ
for RSS support see the CGFeedMaker module

@sugna
it's all in the template and css that you use. 
Once you put the calendar into a display, you should be able to see (and change) the template... and change the class names, content of each cell, etc... and then style to your hearts content

Calendar now works much more like every other module in CMS.  Therefore people that know how to work with the other modules should now have much less problems working with the Calendar.

So how can I display the upcoming events with the 1.0 calendar ??

Thanks Calguy, just one more question, is it now searchable via the normal search engine?

[calguy1000]

Yup

Hello everybody,
Thanks Calguy 1000.
I just wanted to know if the help page is up to date. If yes, I could translate it in French because the help page in french seems not to be up to date. Which was quite ennoying, till I found this topic and the "table_id" problem reported by Pépou. I had the same problem…

thanks for the job
