this sounds really embarassing..
updated the version you suggested Mamba.. and the wrong date format bug has returned..
I think I've tried 6/7 different version of this module
as it often happens too many versions of a module and incompatibilties when upgrading to major stable version of xoops..
if it's difficult to me, to use this framework and find working modules I imagine that many first users will be disappointed by this

any idea for fixing? I'll try to look into code anyway..

I've solved deleting the if statement related to wrong date in admin/event.php..
but there's an issue anyway with the calendar script because the event can is created with date set to 01/01/1970..
the only workaround to me is manually inserting the date in this format dd-mm-yyyy

any idea about how to solve this??
Ian

Are you using English or Italian version?

If Italian, try to make a change to the "global.php" as suggested by Trabis here

If you use English version, then we need to do some testing.

I put this function:

in the file include/functions.php of the root, to be used with all modules, and works well with all modules

I already posted the function (my idea) in the thread reported form Mamba

I just installed (uploading the files and updating module) this version and I have the following situation:

User:
- There are more views to present the events in the calendar (+)
- Lay out of the event changed (+)
- When selecting a view I do not only see the name of the event but the website and various other information. This is not consistent. One time it shows the website and email address, one time it doesn't? (-) -> Changed when taking a look in the preferences pane (+)
- When editing the event I get a blank page, not an error (after editing the permissions I am still getting the blank page). (-)
- My list (a block on my main page) disappeared. After changing the rights of this block, it is visible again. (+)
- When I want to add and event I get a blank page. (Major -)



Admin:

- I see more options for using the "interval in minutes" "Agenda: Starting Hour" ... (+)
- When adding an event as administration (below the list of the events) and using the mini calendar I am receiving the error 'Wrong date format'. (-)
- Is it possible to disallow adding attachments? I am not able to find it in the preferences.

My main language is English but I see very often French words appearing. As a user and in the admin section.

Do I have to see something else? Not to be able to add events is the biggest problem I have.

Edit: for the record: I installed Xoops 2.5.4 and extcal 2.34 (downloaded from link provided by Mamba : https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=343464#forumpost343464 )

so in the end for making a module work I've to change the way all the dates are printed in the site.. this sounds strange in any case..
thank you for the solution anyway

Ian

Problem still persist !!

Im using now extcal 2.34 Beta from the link of Mamba, it is still not possible tp add event
only when im using the format yyyy-mm-dd !!

@yurdal
you need to set the format as yyyy-mm--dd in global.php language files

I add another bug to version 2.34 of extcal..
when tring to edit an event from user side I receive Internal server error with no debug..
any idea?

Ian

Please let us know how we can help you (or you all) to speed up development of the 'best' calendar for Xoops.
Except voor another not regularly updated module there is no alternative for Extcal.

Thanks in advance.
