A few people have asked me for the calendar I use on krass.com

I couldn't release it earlier, because the CalendarClass I used didn't have a GPL friendly license (in fact, it didn't have any license and I wasn't able to contact the author). Now I have written my own primitive class and can release the whole thing under GPL.

It's just tested on http://krass.com/ and not tested in any other environment.
'''Please use http://krass.com/wiki/Sandbox/Calendar for testing. Not the main one!'''

* It doesn't work for wiki-1.8.2 and cyrillic (ru,uk). Simply doesn't print anything.
Make sure you are not asking to show "weeks" and "skipempty". Select displaying a year first, and then work on the settings.
* Does anyone have a problem with <nowiki></dt> </dd></nowiki> being displayed before and after the calendar today function?
** Yes. The problem appears to be the closure of the <nowiki><dt> and <dd></nowiki>. These are not required (see http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html#h-10.3). Editing out the tag closures in WikiCalendarFormatList.php resolves the problem. Just found this extension, very useful. --[[User:Paulwarwicker|Paulwarwicker]] 23:10, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
* Does anyone know how to add a calendar to the left navigation? I think this involves editing Monobook.php (my default skin), but I don't know how to get the calendar tag to render on load of the skin.
* It would be great to have a way to add the entire calendar to my watchlist so I could be emailed when users add date pages. As it is, I can only use Related changes to see this manually.
* I have customers that would like to be able to overlay other calendars into there calendars, someting to the effect of names=MyCalendar+Holidays+GroupEvents+HomeEvents
** There is something like that in the current version, but only for week/days view. I don't know how it should work in the month view. And even in the week view, edits will go to the first calendar listed. --[[User:Cdamian|Cdamian]] 14:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
***If there is something like that in the current version, how can I use it? What I would like to do is have a "master" calendar which has the items for all the other calendars. For example when I go to 10_26_2006 it will show the data from 10_26_2006/calendar2 and 10_26_2006/calendar3 (which is how I have it setup.) [[User:71.231.182.82|71.231.182.82]] 07:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

* I'd love to see a list of upcoming events for the next week/month/year, without the blank pages.
** this is in the 1.7 version --[[User:Cdamian|Cdamian]] 14:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
* it would be nice to have a way to flick forward/back like buttons on a wiki page in/decrementing a counter which is used to call the calendar the usual style (like:date= +$counter week). In this way a week by week overview can flick through a range of the year (good for planning ahead:-) 28 June 2006
* It would be nice to have multi-language support for day- and monthnames. The preferred language could be detected by the <tt>$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']</tt> variable. Generating day- and monthnames should work by using the <tt>[http://de3.php.net/manual/de/function.setlocale.php setlocale()]</tt> function. --[[User:DanielSimon|DanielSimon]] 11:50, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
** I don't want to use the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, but the user preferences instead. There is some code in mediawiki to format dates, but I don't think I can use that. --[[User:Cdamian|Cdamian]] 16:36, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
*** Why don't you use the <code>[http://de3.php.net/manual/de/function.strftime.php strftime()]</code>-Function instead of the <code>[http://de3.php.net/manual/de/function.date.php date()]</code>-function. This function should allow <code>setlocale()</code> to choose localized day-/monthnames... --[[User:213.168.102.97|213.168.102.97]] 09:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
** there are tranlations now in the 1.8 release --[[User:Cdamian|Cdamian]] 11:33, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
* This extension would be even more usefull when it offered the possibility of adding a title to dayevents like 6.4.2006_party. In that way the script could output a list of titles instead of only dates [http://wikimaas.org]]. Maybe it could also be done by taking each date-page and substracting the headings from it. (Under each heading would be an event.) The script could then output these headings ordered by date. This would make a list of events instead of a list of dates, which is much more informative. The list could be put into the sidebar, for example.
* Hi - is 1.8 or 1.10 production? 1.10 has a missing ) on line 94 <code>(isset($params[$i])</code> should be <code>(isset($params[$i]))</code> - I'm about to upgrade to 1.6.3 and wanted to upgrade wikicalendar in the process.
** sorry about 1.10, that was my mistake. I have uploaded 1.11 now, which fixes that bug and another one --[[User:Cdamian|Cdamian]] 09:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

== Bugfix ==
{{TalkFromMeta}}
In Calendar.php, the disabling of the 1.5 cache doesn't work...I think it's because it's not doing a return ""; at the very end. Don't know how you want to accept contributions for the code...I also hacked in a sloppy monthly calendar with each event listed in the cell for the day.
: strange thing about the cache. best thing for contributions is to send them to me ( christof@damian.net ), I'll answer much faster than too. --[[User:Cdamian|Cdamian]] 16:34, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

: there is a new fix for the cache in version 1.7 now, please have another go --[[User:Cdamian|Cdamian]] 14:52, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

: I am still having problems with caching in version 1.11 Nobody had edited any calendar entries for over a month, I went to check the calendar and it still was showing the date I last looked at (about 7/4) for my month, week, and year calendars. Even when I held shift and hit the reload button in firefox I kept getting the old one. I edited the calendar php files to add some debug messages and sure enough it showed the proper date. I did just upgrade to firefox 1.5.0.4 from a 1.0 version...not sure if this has something to do with it. --[[User:Ej|Ej]] Wed Aug 16 11:00:00 EDT 2006

: Very strangely, I'm seeing 29 october twice, causeing my calendar to go totally nuts. Anything sensible I can do about that? This also happens after an upgrade to 1.13. Apart from that, I totally love your calendar plugin :-) --[[User:RubenV|RubenV]] 19:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
