Calendar module in GL 2

GeeklogHow sweet would it be if the GL calendar could be integrated with the Mozilla calendar or Apple's iCal application? Both use the same standard vCal format, so by implementing such capability, it would provide web-based calendars for workgroups, allowing them to share calendars, while not requiring that they enter in duplicate every event (once into iCal, once into GL).

iCal supports published calendars (via webDAV), and there are already projects on Source Forge that are using php to implement web-based calendars. When a user creates an event on the published calendar, it could be syncronized to the GL database.

Just some food for thought. By the way, how is GL 2 progressing? (We're we promised weekly updates a while back?)

Hmm...either no one cares, or the coders are too busy with GL 1.3.7 and v2 to respond.

That remark is totally uncalled for. These guys willingly do this on their own free time without any compensation. They have no obligation to respond to anyone\'s questions let alone do it within a day on a weekend like you seem to expect. Of all the different projects I\'ve looked at, the developers here bend over backwards in helping others.

It is very time consuming answering every single person\'s questions. How many have you even bothered to answer to lighten their load? If you want this feature so bad, there\' no reason you can\'t help out in implementing it. If you don\'t have the programming skills, then at least keep the sarcasm to yourself.

If you had bothered to check over on CVS or the mail list, you would see they are busy trying to fix minor bugs so they can release 1.3.7 to everyone hopefully this week.

Don\'t get so bent out of shape, it was simply an observation. This was not meant especially for developers, but more to guage how others use their GL calendar and how they wish it would operate under GL 2.

I look forward to both 1.3.7 and GL2!

i love the calendar that comes with geeklog but i'd like to be able to edit the drop down menu as admin and specify fields to choose from.

And that wasn\'t sarcasm...I subscribe to the lists, so I know they are busy: I simply stated that they REALLY are too busy to respond.

Hey I am in,

Dirk assigned me for this development or in other words I have green light ;). The main things I want to change are:
- .ics integration (ical & mozilla)
- nicer look
- a plugin "only" version
- better user managment capabilites
- support for several user and several main calendars
... If there are any other ideas post them...

I think of using the phpicalendar design and maybe some of the classes (http://phpicalendar.sourceforge.net/nuke/).
Development starts at the end of january 2003 - sorry but I have to do a lot for my examinations in january,
Sascha

Wow, isn't that nice. You must be a high schooler if you had to wait to be assigned this. Let's see you come up with an actual product instead of your sarcasm.

one thing i think would be great is if you could have a list off all the events(global), and then the members could click the ones they would like to add to their personal calendar...that is what i am looking for on my site.

Sorry, I didn't see this comment earlier.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here: The original story was about the calendar in Geeklog 2. Sascha, however, seems to want to replace the calendar in Geeklog 1.3. I suggested to him to try an approach similar to the one Squatty took with his phpLinks hack.

We'll see what comes out of this ...

bye, Dirk

You can already create vCal format calendars using a small amount of php. Take a look at this forum posting.
