Hi Drew

Le 2011-12-12 10:04, drew a écrit :
I missed a lot of it, but it was hardly new - well, it's not intended to
be a replacement for the baked in calendar - I think what i just looked
at is great, so far.

The site I'm setting up is intended to be about more then just
LibreOffice, but certainly about LibreOffice - or of interest to
individuals with interests that overlap those of LibreOffice and TDF.

So - It could be that in the end what I up, which is not a lot to put up
with no customizing beyond a few dozen lines of html, will be replaced
on the LO-Portal CMS by just taking the LibreOffice feed and aggregating
it - or I might find a way to aggregate it right into the WebCalendar
instance..

So - no don't take this as any indication to stop working on a
LibreOffice calendar on the main site, it's not intended to detour that.

In fact just logged in to the CMS and events page - excellent, I'll add
a few items for 2012.

_and_ not sure this worked but I tried to subscribe the OUCV Calendar
via .ics subscription to this calendar...nothing came over - at least
not on the drat view of the page (I assume the new feed would not
display on the published site, as I did not publish the updated page
after the - and perhaps it doesn't actually try to read the feed until
the page is published - don't know? Will ask that on the website list.)

Best wishes,

I think your calendar is more of a project unto itself and that we should just work on a native LibreOffice Calendar solution. We are already stretched to the limit with the membership and I have not seen any more additions to the membership list in quite a while. We can't keep creating all of these projects in the hopes of having someone taking them up and maintaining them when there is really no one to do this. We really only need 2-3 people on the international calendar to keep it up.

So, to make things easy on ourselves for now, a native LibreOffice calendar on SilverStripe with login/password for members who are interested in maintaining it, is what I would recommend. I'll throw my name in for this. As to ease of use, so far, from what I can see, I would rather use the Google Calendar than the SilverStripe calendar module. The Google Calendar is easily set up and can easily import ical files in addition, it is very easy to add/reduce categories. On top of this it would be extremely easy for NL groups to add international events onto their Google Calendar scripts if we were to all adopt the Google Calendar (this is if they wanted to include the International calendar events into their own calendars).

I think we are almost at the point of deciding which calendar solution to use.

BTW ... if you are using WebCalendar, it has terrible connectivity with Thunderbird Lightning. Some connections work great while for unknown reasons others do not. This is one of the reasons I quit using it. Although the main dev for the project is extremely helpful. But, IMHO Google Calendar is quite a step up from this, if you don't mind their hosting your calendar. The scrips are easy to add to a site, here is an example on my site[1] (the events are in 2012), I'm in the process of moving some events to a Google Cal, just a couple more hundred to go. I have another with a couple of thousand to move/input -- I'll be doing this next week.

Cheers,

Marc
