What can this extension do?
This is a re-work of my Extension:Calendar (Kenyu73) extension. This uses direct database calls and not wiki pages for events.
This is beta and for testing only. I will not maintain back-wards capability until this extension leaves beta.
Key Features
- Uses HTML forms
- dedicated calendar database tables
- Email notifications with mw-user select listing
- Speed
- less complicated parameters (like original calendar)
- javascript controls
- internationalization (i18n) - "en, fr, es, de" included, but others can be added by admin
- time selection
- batch mode (add multiple event via custom delimiter... tab or special characters
- Optional WYSIWYG Editor (TinyMCE) (read how-to below)
- Does not add pages to special recentchanges page for each appointment
Missing Features, but planned
- recurrences
- iCalendar (either import or file referencing)
- colors/formatting
- wiki format parsing
- options form
Installation
Calendar Installation
- Download the extension and unzip it to the /extension directory
- Add this line to your LocalSettings.php configuration file
- require_once( "$IP/extensions/mwcalendar/mwCalendar.php" );
- Database tables are automatically created as long as $wgDBuser has table create/modify privileges!
TinyMCE Setup (WYSIWYG Editor) -Optional
- Download TinyMCE either from their homepage or from my site here
- Extract to the extensions directory
- verify path structure (case sensitive!) - (../extensions/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js)
That's it! The calendar auto checks for this installation path. You can disable the RTE by the following:
- <calendar name="test" disablerte />
Examples
<mwcalendar name="Events" />
<mwcalendar name="Events" eventlist="30" />
