Forum OpenACS Development: Worker bee job: Fix calendar

Collapse
Posted by Lars Pind on
The 'calendar' package is currently broken, as a result of major reworkings by Dirk to get it templated.

A templated calendar is fabulous, but a broken calendar is not so fabulous.

There are several things the currently break hard, such as attempting to add a calendar appointment on both PG and Oracle.

And Dirk hasn't developed or tested on Oracle at all, so several Oracle queries are simply missing, etc.

This is a call for a volunteer with the appropriate skills and passion to step up to help fix calendar.

I'll buy you a beer next time you're in Copenhagen :)

Anyone?

I've been messing with the calendar in HEAD for another project and I could fixup what's broken this weekend. I'm sure I can get the postgres stuff working but it might take longer for Oracle. I might roll what I've been working on into it if that does not bother anyone.

Excellent, Barry. That's really great.

What's the stuff you're planning to roll in?

Hmm, calendar isn't that broken :)

As for Oracle: I always added/changed the respective Oracle query when I had worked on the corresponding PostgreSQL query. There shouldn't be missing Oracle queries, just some queries that bump.

Now that I have additionally installed Oracle 8i on my box here (where is the much desired Oracle 9i support?), I fixed the broken Oracle queries and committed them tonight.

Needless to say: any help is appreciated.
