PostCalendar 8.0.0 has been released! PostCalendar is a calendar module for Zikula with multiple views, private calendars, Content Module support and much more.

[DOWNLOAD]

I am thankful to give the community a new version of PostCalendar that incorporates new technologies that are available as Zikula Core improves. In addition new requested features such as special repeating event options and import of data from the TimeIt module have been added. The use of jQuery-UI has made many aspects of the module better - especially the new event form! Also a new iCal view is available!

PostCalendar 8.0.0 requires Zikula >= 1.3.5 (or 1.3.3 with updated jquery_datepicker plugin - see below**)

  • Fully native Doctrine2-based module
  • jQuery-UI utilized heavily to improve ease of use in the UI
  • NEW repeating event options: continuous and repeat-exceptions
  • NEW import of TimeIt data (thanks espaan!)
  • NEW iCal export and subscription-provision. (thanks evert!)
  • Removed use of Date_Calc lib and all date calculations moved to native PHP DateTime objects
  • Module much more OOP-based. All user views (including blocks) now OOP instead of procedural
  • Refactored Query/Request objects to Zikula 1.3.3 standards
  • A lot of code duplication completely removed.

PostCalendar is a calendar module for Zikula with multiple views, private calendars, MultiHook needles, Content Module support and much more. PostCalendar is completely converted to the new Zikula 1.3 model (OOP).

Software Requirements

  • Use of jQuery to make the UI user-friendly
  • Categorization of events using Zikula category system
    • Category-based permissions allow group-based or multiple calendars
  • Content module support
  • MultiHook Needles provided (currently non-functional due to MultiHook not working)
  • Supports all available Core 1.3.x-based Subscriber hooks

Thanks! Great! ZK needs more modules!

But, a question, ZK>=1.3.5 This version is not released...

that is why it also says "or 1.3.3 with updated jquery_datepicker plugin - see below**"

there is a small bug in the Core's jquery_datepicker plugin. So you must update that plugin in order to use PC with a lesser version of the Core. Actually, if your site is in English only, you could probably just use 1.3.3 without updating the plugin. The bug affects non-English sites only.
