Module: Google Calendar Release Candidate 4 - Bugfix with editing and caching events, Support for Phorum 5.2.11 and beyond

Joe Curia — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:38:43 -0400

I have completed Release Candidate 4 of this module with the following changes:

- Enhancement: Added support for the Admin Token required by Phorum 5.2.11 and beyond.

- Bugfix: An assumption lead to errors if there were no events to show in the weekly listing. Thanks go to Phorum user Kronalias for reporting this bug.

- Bugfix: When editing events, the end time would default to 11:59pm. Thanks go to Phorum user Kronalias for reporting this bug.

- Continued Bugfix: The event listing cache still needed work. Eventually this cache will need its own database table, but all errors should now be covered.

Deprecated hooks are not really a problem. In fact, in the latest development version of Phorum (and maybe in 5.2.12 too, I'm not fully sure if I did it there as well) I removed the warning from the admin page. Phorum will take care of handling the hook correctly.

If you want to get rid of the warning, then edit the module's info.txt and change

hook: hide|...

to

hook: hide_thread|...

i think i might have something on this.. events adding to the calendar are correct, but if you look at a post, it's showing the calendar event details with a date of 12/31/1969, which would explain why it's not showing up in the 7 days events.. i AM using an older version of mysql (4.1.21) and i'm thinking that's the problem as hugs upgraded and the problem was fixed. i don't necessarily have that luxury right now.. any idea on a fix?

here is a link to a post with calendar event stuff showing the wrong date:
[www.projektmke.com]

something else now too: i deleted/re-uploaded the google calendar mod. reset it uncommenting the dev stuff to start all over. the events/posts i had done previously are still holding data, which i cannot change. in event log, i get this error:

Quote

Google returned this error: info@projektmke.com does not have read privileges on the calendar owned by projektmke.com_jrpkm2gkojtrmq9ug30sall488@group.calendar.google.com.

that address is the owner of the calendar and does have permissions.. i'd love it if i could just have the original data removed from the posts and start over because posting new events/editing old posts with date stuff (that didn't have it previously) works just fine.

Re: Module: Google Calendar

sir fice — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:33:37 -0400

first off, awesome mod.. thank you for this!

i do have one issue though.. i have everything working BUT the 7 day list at the top of the pages i've selected. It's not showing anything, but on the calendar itself i see the events, and i can see the info at the top of the event message inside the forum. in the US, so i don't know why this is happening...

any idea? thanks!

here's the event log:

so i create an event, everything goes to google correctly but the forum shows the date as 12/31/1969.

Hi!

I'm having a bit of a problem and would be grateful of any help.

I have been using Google Calendar for a week or so. It is a superb piece of software - thank you! - and has performed faultlessly.

On my website I use a large number of mods, but I have replicated the problem on a development PC just using Phorum version 5.2.9a and Google Calendar version 5.2.1.00.RC.2, and by restoring a copy of the MySQL database from the server.

The Google Calendar settings are:

Who can post events: Anyone who can create a new topic
Google's HTML code for embedding your calendar:

www.google.com]; style="border: 0" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">

Show event data in the message body: Ticked
Show a seven day event listing on the page: Show a listing of the next seven days' events
Show the event listing automatically: Ticked
Pages on which to show the event listing: Control Ticked, Index Ticked
Maximum number of events to show in a single day: 5

The Database Integrity and System Sanity Checks run normally.

When Phorum outputs the "Sorry, a Phorum database error occurred. Please try again later!" message as in the attached file. I can access the admin page, turn off Google Calendar, and Phorum then performs normally.

The only information I have about how this occurred is from an email I received - here's a part of it:

"I may have crashed the database. I was attempting to post a calendar entry from Private Messages, but could not see the link. When I had noticed it,before, it was while replying to a PM. Therefore, I sent the message to myself. I went to reply, but the prompt still wasn’t there, so I backed out of the message. When I tried to go to the Home page, I got the following message, of which I have only copied the beginning - it goes on for a long time"...

Could anyone shed any light on this, please?

TIA, Kronalias

The Daylight Savings setting is actually in the forum itself, in your Control Center -> Forum Settings page.

Would you be able to give me a link to check it out myself? (PM if necessary)

3. I del the event's topic in forum and i view the event in Event List, why?

Deleting the topic should remove the event from the Google calendar and in turn from the event listing. Can you confirm if the event is removed from the calendar?

Yes, all OK!

4. When i post a topic with event, in event list and in gmail have +1 hour, why?

The topic will always be posted based on your time zone as Phorum sees it. Your calendar may be in a different time zone. Is it possible you still have daylight savings enabled in the Control Center -> Forum Settings page?

The timezone in google and in phorum is the same, but when i post a event in forum, this event have +1 hour in google, in list and in topic.

The real timezone in my country is +1, but if i have +1 in general setting of phorum, all time is +1 in phorum. For that, In phorum and in google my timezone is to 0, but the timezone of the operating system is +1, problem with this?

What is daylight savings ? i can't see it in general setting.

2. When i post a event by google web, i can't see in forum, why?

This module was orginally conceived as way of linking topics to events. I never really considered adding calendar event entered on Google to the seven day event listing. Another suggestion added to the list.

5. You use cache for this mod?

I use as much caching as possible for this mod. Because of differences in timezone, I can only cache per timezone and only if there have been no event changes and only for the current week (in the case of a weekly event listing) or the current day (in the case of the "next seven days" event listing).

Re: Module: Google Calendar

Joe Curia — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 13:43:52 -0500

Sorry, to be even clearer, the EventDescription field is sent to Google when the event is created and thus not updated until the event itself is edited. Hence, any changes to the language file will only show up in new events or if the post for a previous event is edited.

Re: Module: Google Calendar

korsakov — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 13:38:39 -0500

Thank you. Unfortunately, any changes to the HTML/EventDescription in /lang/english.php won't reflect on the calendar bubbles (although I cleaned the cache). Do you have advice for me?

Re: Module: Google Calendar

Joe Curia — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:29:30 -0500

I'm sorry, this was a misunderstanding on my part. I though you were referring to the popup in the seven day event listing which can be added to the forum pages. You were actually referring to the popup created by Google when clicking on an event in the embedded calendar. That popup is populated from the EventDescription field in the language file.

Re: Module: Google Calendar

korsakov — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:17:24 -0500

At the moment I have the calendar "iframe" in a different DIV than the forum. So, if I click on "View Topic" Firefox will open a new window and is showing again the calendar and not the specific Event Topic. I tried to assign a simple cookie with a click event on "View Topic" in order to display the forum DIV instead of the calendar DIV. But I am afraid that I don't have access to the "View Topic" link in the calendar event bubble since it doesn't even disappear after removal from the language file.

Re: Module: Google Calendar

Joe Curia — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:53:38 -0500

I have not done a whole lot of work with cookies, so I'm not sure what your goal is here. What is the purpose of leaving the cookie? What data will it hold?

Re: Module: Google Calendar

korsakov — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:02:00 -0500

I added target=\"_self\" and a class to "View Topic" in english.php:

Quote

"EventBubbleHTML" => "%title%
When: %start% - %end%
%where%
View Topic
",

Then I changed a cookie which supposed to redirect the user to the specific topic. No success. Afterwards I removed the "View Topic"-link. No change.

Do you have any hints for me? Thank you!

Re: Module: Google Calendar

Joe Curia — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 23:07:12 -0500

That is a bit complex, but I think you could achieve this by changing the View Topic link from a simple url to a javascript function which first sets the cookie, then redirects to the topic. The HTML for the event bubble is found in the language file in the EventBubbleHTML variable. Your javascript function could be added to the page in the google_calendar/listings_bin/event_listings_bubble.js file which is added to all pages which would have an event bubble.

Hope that helps :)

Re: Module: Google Calendar

korsakov — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:45:05 -0500

Joe, I am wondering whether you can direct me to the file in which I could add a cookie if anybody selects the "View Topic" button on the bubble that shows up when clicking a calendar event. Thank you!

Re: Module: Google Calendar

Askerion — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 15:43:10 -0500

Oh yes, there was. :D

Thank you for your explanation, I can understand that you did it that way.
I have a lot of time, so I will wait until you present your first fullyintegrated calendar. ^^
So just take your time, I'll be sure it will be a great mod. :)

Re: Module: Google Calendar

Joe Curia — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 10:02:07 -0500

Askerion,

There were many requests for a Google calendar integration, but I also would prefer it built into Phorum. I built this mod to cut my teeth on calendar work as it were. One of my long range plans is to use this module as a base for a completely integrated Phorum calendar. However, this won't be happening soon, probably not in the first half of this year.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the Google interaction, the curl extension is necessary, otherwise I would have tried to make a work-around for you. As it was, I took the long and difficult route of making this module compatible with PHP 4 rather than simply using Google's full api which would have required PHP 5.

Sorry for the bad news, but I hope there was some ray of hope for you in this post :)

Re: Module: Google Calendar

Askerion — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 08:12:04 -0500

Thank you very much for your help!

At least I know why it doesn't work.
And I also know that I won't be able to use the Mod, because my provider doesn't support this extension.

Hopefully there will be another calendar mod, which is completely integrated in Phorum. I didn't like the idea to post events to Google. I don't want to post anything to Google. ^^
