@PitaJ thanks.

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?

compatibility issue with 1.15.2 · Issue #135 · pitaj/nodebb-plugin-calendar

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.

Hi @PitaJ !

I'm definitely no JS coder but I had a need so I tried to build my own solution.
I ported the discord webhook notification from this project to the latest version https://github.com/fallendusk/nodebb-plugin-calendar-gaia

I'm trying to import the translator to translate the webhook message to be "functional enough" to submit a PR.
So far, I've not managed to do it without having issues. Do you have a suggestion ?

Here's my edited version: https://github.com/fl4shback/nodebb-plugin-calendar/blob/0f71635085a3a5c900b745bc259a93031dc76c1a/src/lib/postSave.ts

Thanks

PitaJ

@fl4shback51 here's an example of importing the translator server side. You have to use require.main.require:

This plugin won't load for me. It just loads and times out.

had to uninstall as it's unusable.

PitaJ

@anodetobb what version of the plugin? What version of NodeBB? What version of Node.js?

AnOdeToBB

@pitaj Hi,

I now have the calendar page here.

and in the admin area I see this...

Screenshot_2021-05-15 TalkCounty com(1).png

are all settings ok? & how do I add an event?

many thanks

AnOdeToBB

Am I supposed to be able to add my own events to this? I can't find out where to add them?

PitaJ

@anodetobb the settings there should be fine, though you may want to shorten the "Interval on which to check for upcoming events" as right now it'll only check every 3 1/2 days and you probably want it more like every few minutes (5 minutes = 300 seconds).

You add events by adding them to a post: https://github.com/pitaj/nodebb-plugin-calendar#how-event-creation-works

@pitaj Thanks very much
