What an absolutely horrible standard.

Its mind boggling that an XML/JSON standard has not been adopted yet.

Horrible isn't it? Yet it is the only real cross-platform calendar standard

 

[Myloo]

Oke i have found this not yet but can i show the events of the day in the sidebar ?

Hi Jaxel, I think I remember reading somewhere that you were developing a league/ladder plugin for gaming, although I may be mistaken.
If you are, is that a completely different plugin that's in the works or something to do with this?
Thanks.

I'm thinking of changing the way the date/time picker works...

Old way:


New way:

 

[Veer]

Nice, At least it would allow to add past events as well as current/future.

I like the new way much better.

I am wondering if there is a way to make the calendar to have european style like "Day/Month/Year" instead of "Month/Day/Year" ?

I am wondering if there is a way to make the calendar to have european style like "Day/Month/Year" instead of "Month/Day/Year" ?

Where ? on the Event List ? or in that picker ?

On 8wayrun the Event List dates are:
MMM DD, YYYY. (ie. July 16, 2011)
I find those very intuitive.

Even better than that is:
DD-MMM-YYYY
08-Aug-2011 (best, IMO)
or
DD-MMM-YY
08-Aug-11 (OK)

or the picker ?
I think the picker is fine as YYYY-MM-DD.
Mostly because you are picking the date from an intuitive popup, so the chances of error are low.

First day of the week Sunday ?
My brain doesn't like that.
The weekend Sat, Sun, should be together, at the end of the week.

 

[erich37]

no matter where.
the standard date-format being used in Europe is DD/MM/YYYY

currently, the date-format being used for this add-on is MM/DD/YYYY
....is there any way to have the user select which format to use?

 

[Digital Doctor]

no matter where.
the standard date-format being used in Europe is DD/MM/YYYY

That's confusing.
DD-MMM-YYYY is so much more intutive.
Why use a date that is confusing ?
8wayrun uses MMM DD, YYYY and that is superior to DD-MM-YYYY.

There are options in the admincp to make the dates look HOWEVER you want.

[8wayRun.Com] XenAtendo (Events) v1.4.3 CHANGELOG

• Construction of files and listeners have slightly changed with this release. It is recommended you delete your entire /EWRatendo/ folder before uploading this new version! Otherwise you may have some minor issues.
• Full support for Justin.TV's TwitchTV spinoff has been added; including viewer counts on XenPorta.
• AnyTime+ DatePicker has been deprecated and will no longer be used. There is now a new date/time picker.
• A new event option has been added for a recurrence expiration date. Event organizers can now set stop dates for event recurrences. So they can essentially set something like, "repeat event every 1 weeks, till October 18, 2011".
• Some minor bugs for when an event name is too long have been fixed.

This is a pretty large update, so don't forget to donate! http://8wayrun.com/donate/

Very nice update Jaxel.

With new date system, how do i set an event for more than 72 hours? We have events for whole week and months.
There's one event with:
Starting Date: 15-June-2011
Ending Date: 08-Oct-2011
How do i set it?

What kind of event lasts 4 months? And all 24 hours of everyday during those 4 months? Wouldn't it be better to set the event as something like 10am-10pm (12 hours), but then repeat every 1 day until after Oct 8?

Eitherway, there is an option in the ACP to define the minimum and maximum permitted hours of an event.

 

[Raitsa]

A very welcome update Jaxel, thank you!

Very probably I am just being retarded again, but I cant make the time work as I wish (would like it to be 24 hrs, without the AM/PM selection box).

Here is how I have set it up now:


resulting into this:

 

[Raitsa]

One more question: where can I find the marked "for" phrase?

 

[VLEPSC]

I can't get the birthday block to show up. I am using the most recent version of XF and the modules.
