Plone4Artists calendar add-on for Plone

Project description

Overview

p4a.plonecalendar provides nice calendaring views for Plone, specifically a Month, Week and Day view, and also nice lists of past and previous events.

There are today better calendaring views for Plone, specifcally solgema.fullcalendar. However, that’s a JavaScript calendar, so if you need a calendar that you can use without JavaScript, for example for accessibility reasons, then p4a.plonecalendar is a good choice.

Upgrading from version 2.0

p4a.plonecalendar 2.1 removes the dependency on p4a.subtyper. As a result upgrading to p4a.plonecalendar can be a bit of work.

Step 1:

Firstly you need to add p4a.subtyper to your buildout.cfg.

Under [instance] add “4a.subtyper” to the eggs property, remove p4a.plonecalendars zcml entries and replace them with p4a.subtypers zcml entries. The result should look something like this:

[instance] …

eggs =

Plone p4a.plonecalendar p4a.subtyper ${buildout:eggs}

zcml =

p4a.subtyper p4a.subtyper-meta

Run buildout and restart the server.

Step 2:

Go to the ZMI and open the Upgrades tab of portal_setup:

http://yourplonesite/portal_setup/manage_upgrades

Choose the p4a.plonecalendar:default profile, and the upgrade named “Upgrade to 2.1: Remove all marker interfaces” should be visible. Select it and press “Upgrade.”

Step 3:

Then go to the quickinstaller:

http://yourplonesite/portal_quickinstaller/manage_installProductsForm

Here, reinstall P4A Plone Calendar. You will after this have to go to all calendars and select a Calendar View as default view again.

Step 4 (optional):

If you have no other parts of Plone4Artists installed you can also uninstall Plone4Artists Subtyper, and remove it from the buildout.cfg.

Installation

  1. Add p4a.plonecalendar as a dependency either to your buildout:

    [buildout] eggs = p4a.plonecalendar

  2. Include p4a.plonecalendar ZCML:

    [instance] zcml = p4a.plonecalendar

Notes

Importing an iCalendar file via http

Plone4Artists calendar can import an iCalendar file over http into a Plone calendar. This is useful for example if another site presents a schedule that you also want to present or integrate into your site.

An example url for importing an icalendar file over http is:

http://path/to/calendar/import_from_url?url=http://url/to/icalendarfile.ics

This will open up a connection to the other site, get the icalendar file called “icalendarfile.ics” and import it into the folder located at /path/to/calendar/

1.0rc1 (2007-07-31)

  • Many bug fixes resulting from the Boston 2007 P4A sprint

  • #40 - Events not displayed in Month View on Windows IE6. Default install would not display events in IE 6. Rob Baker supplied fix.

  • #39 - Timezone issue when exporting to iCal. Issue is resolved. It was an old version of DateTime.py that caused the trouble. Replacing the file with the new version (available at zope.org) solved the problem.

  • #38 - Time formatting for internationalization. P4A Calendar now uses the i18n library to convert the hour/minute format to the locale based on the language of the incoming browser request. This change removed several methods on the Month class that were formally handling this formatting chore. However, this new code does not have any tests written against it.

  • #36 - Event starting in the past, ending in the future is not listed. The submitter of the original bug supplied a patch. The patch was applied to the code base and tested. We concluded that the patch solves this issue.

  • #35 - KeyError causes month view to crash

  • #34 and #37 - Bug deals with a site breakage when the P4A product is removed from the file system. This occurs after marker interfaces are set on containerish objects. Rocky Burt concluded that this is a core Zope issue and provided a workaround is to remove all marker interfaces for P4A when uninstalling the product via the QuickInstaller. Reinstall does not affect the marker interface settings. The drawback is that if the product is uninstalled all site setting dealing with the calendar will be lost. But it was considered worse to have a product that breaks a site with its removal from the files system. The long term solution will have to come from Zope core.

  • #30 - Changing folder back to normal causes error.

  • #28 - Events with future month don’t show up
