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

closed compatibility issue with 1.15.2 #135

[PitaJ]

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

npm i [email protected]

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...

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

[AnOdeToBB]

@pitaj Thanks very much

[dcook]

Is there a way to remove the Yes No Maybe section ?

[PitaJ]

@dcook are you referring to seeing other people's responses or responding to the event yourself or both?

@PitaJ Hi @PitaJ , for NodeBB 1.19.1 we have this warning in the logs:

2022-02-03T04:29:12.098Z [4567/3646564] - warn: [plugins/load] The following plugins may not be compatible with your version of NodeBB. This may cause unintended behaviour or crashing. In the event of an unresponsive NodeBB caused by this plugin, run `./nodebb reset -p PLUGINNAME` to disable it.
  * nodebb-plugin-calendar

But, so far I have not seen any clear problem with the plugin. FYI.

[Frozen_byte]

Currently setting up a v2.0 nodeBB Forum.
I was confused as nodebb-plugin-calendar was listed as compatible here.

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to use any special branch/fork?
Installing the @latest ("nodebb-plugin-calendar": "^1.1.3") leads to this error:

@Frozen_byte I think they listed it because they've provided a patch for 2.0. I haven't merged the patch or issued a new version yet.

barisusakli created this issue in pitaj/nodebb-plugin-calendar

closed refactor: move acp script to modules #148

[Frozen_byte]

Thank you! The Fork from @baris is what I need.
Do I have to build the fork inside the docker? Since it's not setup with dev-packages, I try to avoid this kind of tinkering.

I have trouble getting the package built inside the docker:
npm i "https://github.com/barisusakli/nodebb-plugin-calendar/tarball/main"
npm activate nodebb-plugin-calendar
./nodebb build
fails with the following error:
