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

crazycells

@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!

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

@PitaJ Done, thanks.

Hi @PitaJ !

Sorry for bothering you !

Whenever I'm building the plugin myself (I tried to build both your version and my altered version), user avatars in response-lists are not working anymore, do you have any tips ? I'm no JS pro so I'm quite overwhelmed

I'm trying to integrate a discord webhook to post events on our discord server whenever we are creating an event.

Source code is here https://github.com/fl4shback/nodebb-plugin-calendar/tree/discord-integration if you want to take a look at it.

Thank you

PitaJ

@Fl4shBack51 what version of NodeBB are you on?

@PitaJ
1.12.2

@PitaJ Hey !

just to keep you updated, I solved the issue by reverting the changes made by the latest commit (which isn't included in the 50 release) https://github.com/pitaj/nodebb-plugin-calendar/commit/592f41690437acc502ca21b95eeed4e5e0d186cf

Now I'm able to do my edits and build the plugin juste fine and everything works!

In case anyone is interested to make the panel darker with the night mode plugin, we have this modification to CSS

body.lights-out {
    
    #plugin-calendar-cal-event-display {
        .modal-header {
        background-color: #333 !important;
        }   
        .modal-footer {
        background-color: #333 !important;
        }
    }
    
}

Hi @pitaj , I think current master version (alpha.56) is not compatible with NodeBB 1.15.2?

Are we doing something wrong? or should we install:

npm i [email protected]

PitaJ

@crazycells I forgot to issue a changelog for this, but there's actually a fix for 1.15 in the latest calendar plugin version.

I'd suggest using alpha.56

If you encounter any problems please open an issue on GitHub.

@pitaj can you please check the error log in the link?

PitaJ

New version. Please try out [email protected]
Note: this version requires NodeBB v1.15.x or later

npm i nodebb-plugin-calendar@latest

Changelog:

Convert code to typescript
Fix #138: events not repeating
Fix #130: notifications being mangled

1.0.0-alpha.57 had the following fixes

Fix #137: editing events in 1.16.2

I believe this version is the most stable I've even released, which is why I think it deserves to escape from alpha status.
