There is an error in the noticeboard plugin, which tries to load ICal.php which doesn't exist; what does exist is iCal.php, and on Unix systems those are two different names since Unix is case sensitive. The error causes the dokuwiki to fail.

Changing begin date of event makes it invisible in calendar :(

When exporting to iCal, there's no timezone defined in the .ics file, so entries are showing with incorrect times - any suggestions for fixes?

Install failed on UNIX server : you have to rename /classes/iCal.php to ICal.php to have a working plugin… Nice plugin anyway. thanks ! or better change the sourcecode of action.php line 17 require_once(DOKU_PLUGIN.“noticeboard/classes/iCal.php”);

I had to change line 17 in action.php to the follow on a Linux hosting to get this working.

require_once(DOKU_PLUGIN."noticeboard/classes/iCal.php");

Otherwise, pretty cool plugin! I do wish I could change the date format on the event entry screen. Thanks for a great plugin! -Chuck (chuck@windrant.com)

You forgot to delete some SVN files and directories in the download package — Ben

When the specific time of event is set, in calendar mode there appears “1” char at the end of event name — Pavel

“Calendar”, “iCal”,“RSS” and “Add Event” bottons are overwritten by the filter box. To fix this I moved

$renderer->doc .= $this->_showModeListButton();
        $renderer->doc .= $this->_showModeCalendarButton();
        $renderer->doc .= $this->_showModeCalendarButton();
        $renderer->doc .= $this->_showRSSButton();
        $renderer->doc .= $this->_showIcalButton();
        if($INFO['perm'] >= 2){
            $renderer->doc .= '<a href="' . wl($ID.":NewNotice", array('do' => 'edit','noticeboard_newnotice'=> 'true')) . '" class="button2" title="">'.$this->getLang('addEvent').'</a>';
        }

towards the end of the render function in in syntacs.css. I got rid off the “1” mentioned by Pavel by removing

 $notice->hasStartTime().

in the _getDayEvent function in syntacs.css. — Matt

When the specific time of event is set, in calendar mode there appears “1” char at the end of event name — Pavel

Just comment out this debug output (at least it seems to be one ;)

syntax.php@line 551

$out .= '<li><a href="' . wl($notice->getId(), array('do' => 'show')) . '" class="" title="">'.$notice->getName()/*.$notice->hasStartTime()*/.'</a> ';

When you create an event that is in the past and overlaps into the future, the event is not visible in the future view, but is in the “All” events view.

Hello your plugin is so nice! Thanks for that!! My Problem is: If I created a Meeting or somehting, example in October, and now its November. I move on October and change the settings into Past and klick Filter, than i want to see the old meetings in October, but the calender is switching on Future and the Month November. Is it possible to see the Meetings from the Months of the Past in the calender? Markus
