Based on just viewing the demo, interesting idea but it doesn't work in FireFox.

This issue is fixed. We are also adding start/end date and time, category, tag, and type to Ajax display. Updated version will be available for download  and on demo site on Friday.

 

Thanks,

Did you get my emails?  I got it working on my local dnn3.2.2 machines with some minor changes to the SqlDataProvider file.  See my emails for details.  But anyway, one thing I've noticed is the View Calendar List option blows my whole page apart.  It would be better if that option went into a new screen just as the other two options do.  Also, it appears to have the ability to specify multiple calendars.  But I couldn't figure out how to create a new calendar to add as a sub calendar under the master. Is that feature working yet?

Hi Brian, I sent you couple of replies please let me know if you don’t receive them. 

Regarding the issue with View Calendar List, Is it causing problem when you expand an event or just in general?  Can you recreate the issue on demo site http://dnnapp.com/Demo/tabid/301/Default.aspx

Multiple Calendars will allow you to roll-up sub-calendars.  But its not ready yet

I like to thanks Bryan Johns, (K4GDW) http://www.greendragonweb.com for helping with SQL errors.

Hi David,

Two questions:
1 - Is this calendar based on the Event Calendar from Alan Vance (AVCalendar DNN Module) ?
I'm asking because, I'm a big fan of that module, and improvements are always welcome

2- Are you going to release the source code?
I know nothing about ajax in DNN, and maybe with your code I could learn how to do it in my own modules.

Thanks

Core functionality is based on DNN event module and AVCalendar.  We  added Ajax and few  other functionalities to it.  We are planning to add a lot more functionality in a near future, Some planned and some based on feedback and comments.  So, please keep sending those ideas in.

 

As far as the source code,  It will  either be rolled into DNN core event module, if they are interested, and/or a complete version will be available once its feature rich.

Thanks for your reply David,
Some ideas:
1 - I realize that sub-calendars are not yet implemented, but they eventually will in the future, so, if you follow AVCalendar, you can have the following scenario:
In a Company Department every employee have a sub-calendar (private), and there is a master calendar (public)  for the department that agregates all the events from every employee. This is a great feature, but, could be improved, so that the employees could put their events in their personal calendar (the sub-calendar), but ONLY some of them, NOT ALL, could be viewed in the master calendar (that is viewed by everyone), that way we can have private and public events in the private calendar, and public events only in the public calendar.
Resuming, we must be able to mark and event in a sub calendar private, so that it will not be viewed in the master calendar, all the rest are displayed in both calendars.

2 - If there isn't sub calendars, and there's more than one person placing events, we can't tell who made what, an option could be to display the username below the event, between brackets for example.

3 - Another thing, as you can see the day squares are not all equal, because of the content, causing some rows to be very large, and some others very small, probably a better option is to make them all equal to the bigger one, and all the images the same size, like a thumbnail.

Please give a though,

Tomorrow, i'll test your module more in detail, and i'll give you some more feedback.

Hi Ant, lots of great ideas. I’ll look forward to hearing even more of them.

 

Thanks,

David

I wasn't able to duplilcate on the demo site.  I think the reason it's happening on my staging site (and will likely happen on my production site if I roll it out) is because of the way my page is laid out.  It's a three column layout designed to fit in an 800x600 screen.  It's a fixed width that stays centered.  What happens on my staging/dev machines is when I click View Calendar List it's too wide to fit in my content pane so it forces the pane to spread out breaking the look and feel.  It would probably fit OK if it opened up in a new page like the other two options do.

Ok, I see how fixed templates could cause a problem. I’ll make the change to next release. Since this is a beta version, I wouldn’t recommend adding it to production.

 

Thanks

If my site were a business site I'd not even consider deploying a beta module.  But since it's primarily a personal hobby type thing, I'm not totally opposed to playing with betas as long as I can get them to behave on my local machines first.  8)

New improved version of free IntelliCalendar is available at dnnapp.com. This version is very stable.  We added few more features to this module and fixed all reported issue.  Feel free to download and try. Please report all issues, comments and suggestion.

Does this version include the master-sub rollup?

Yes.
