Update: I've secured funding to migrate the event calendar to 1.8 and will make a major update to the github repository on Monday.

Currently I'm methodically going through the core features to make sure they still work.

This is a very good news :)

As promised, I've uploaded a large commit to the event calendar github repository here:

https://github.com/kevinjardine/Elgg-Event-Calendar

Currently this is for testing only. I expect to add some more features (and possibly some bug fixes) soon.

I'm very keen to get bug reports right now so that I can make sure that the new code is as solid as possible so that I can release it on elgg.org.

So please test this (but not yet on production sites!).

@Kevin, I'll be working on the CSS for the jQuery UI date picker this week. Will be testing with what you have on github.

Great news, Cash.

The version I commited today seems to work with the possible exception of the "spots" feature. That could work too, I just haven't tested it yet. The client who funded the migration wants to improve the import/export capabilities (iCal, Google Calendar, etc.) so that's what I'll be looking at next.

If I recall correctly, the last time I tested it there were issues where the CSS did not support both the inline calendar and the popup calendar. We also just got a bug report about IE7 and the date picker CSS.

I posted a report about the inline calendar to Trac. It needs a position:relative for the div to work. This restriction should probably be documented or removed.

hi kevin i'm new to elgg 1.8 and have just got it running on my site. your event plugin is the first i have tried to install.. i get this error

Deprecated in 1.7: extend_view() was deprecated by elgg_extend_view()!

i really am very useless at the moment until i familiarise myself with working on a website and elgg

thanks for any pointers in advance

Wayne

waynaldo, As mentioned earlier on this thread, there is no event calendar plugin on elgg.org for Elgg 1.8.

If you want to try a very preliminary version, try the github link above.

if you are interested in not working stuff: group events dont show up in the calendar field (but they do in the group activity list)...

if you are aware of it, I am sorry and I didnt want to bother you

and thx for developing this!
