What can this extension do?

This is a re-work of my Calendar (Kenyu73) extension. This uses direct database calls and not wiki pages for events.

<font color=red>This is beta and for testing only. I will not maintain back-wards capability until this extension leaves beta.</font>

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

  1. Download TinyMCE either from their homepage or from my site here
  2. Extract to the extensions directory
  3. 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

 <nowiki><mwcalendar name="Events" /></nowiki>
 <nowiki><mwcalendar name="Events" eventlist="30" /></nowiki>

Configuration

These are currently setup in mwCalendar.php

define( 'mwcalendar_email_ical_mode', 1 ); // 0=off, 1=attachment, 2=embedded, 3=html email only

define( 'mwc_week_start_monday', true); // true=week starts on Monday; false=week starts on Sunaday
