[nodebb-plugin-calendar] Fully featured calendar plugin for NodeBB - Testers needed

PitaJ

@kev-m calendar events have permissions according to the category they're posted in. So, you can create a category for the marketing events, and a category for the comms events, and set the permissions accordingly. The color of the events on the calendar will match that of the categories.

@PitaJ It would be a good feature for this plugin if, on the /calendar page, when you clicked on an event, it would take you to the post where it was created.
I think it's reasonably easy to do, right?

PitaJ

It pops up a preview of the event and you can click on the "go to post" button.

jtsimoes

@PitaJ Ohhhh... I didn't know that because nothing appeared to me, but now I see that there some problem and that's the reason why it does not appear the preview

Accept my pull request to add pt-PT translation;
Add event_deleted var on calendar.json because I'm getting this warning on console log when I delete an event:

There are just a couple small changes I'd like you to make first. I meant to send that feedback a few days ago but GitHub mobile is stupid.

Good catch.

Are you sure? My NodeBB couldn't detect it:

I had to install it through npm i

Oh, okay! I already saw them, I'm working on

New version. Please try out [email protected]
Note: this version requires NodeBB v1.11.0

npm i nodebb-plugin-calendar@latest

Changelog:

Feature: New privilege for mandatory event creation. Only users with this privilege can post mandatory events
Feature: Setting for configuring the available calendar views
Bug fix: event_deleted translation no longer missing

jtsimoes

@PitaJ I tested it out now, it's all good!
It's only missing translation for the new views on the calendar page (listDay, listWeek, listMonth, and listYear):

Besides, that's all. Thanks for the new version!
Since you added the event_deleted translation, I will make a pull request very soon to add this to pt-PT language too. Or perhaps wait until you add the translations for this new views.

UPDATE:
I also noticed that the calendar_admin.json file on languages only contains translations that are not being used and are deprecated, so you could consider deleting it since it is unnecessary.

@PitaJ Thanks a lot for this plugin. This is perfect for us. We are an immigration forum and we have social gatherings regularly in more than 10 cities in US and Turkey... It was hard to keep track of these events in topics for some of the folks, this solved our issue.

I have a request, is it possible to make a note on calendar? It will not be an event where people go, it will just mark an important day and have a description. (For example, each month we have "visa bulletin" announced by DOS, it would be nice to add that on calendar and give direct link to the bulletin rather than a topic in the forum). In this case, of course it will have more simple look because people does not need to say yes/no/maybe...

Thanks again. Even current form of the plugin is super helpful.

Hello

It's great the event background colour matches the category it was posted in. However, is it possible for the event's text colour to match the category too?

The category I use for event posts has a bright yellow background with black text. Since it seems calendar events always use white text, it means the event text can't be read.

Thanks for a great plugin though!

PitaJ

@mrb I don't see that being terribly difficult. Please open an issue on GitHub

mrb

@PitaJ Done, thanks.
