Bug/request

Sorry, but I'm not prepared to register with google in order to submit bug reports.

• Version: v3.7.7.1 5/6/2009
• Error: undefined object in common.php line 172
• Occurs: When link in page does not point to a valid icon/image.
• Patch: Insert after line 171

if ( !is_object($img))
return null;

Request

Replace checking the first line in a page with a search for an event tag. This will improve parsing and allow editors to format the page as they please.

Suggest something like:

<event title="Event title as it appears in Calendar" img="link/to/possible/immage" alt="Possible text displayed in event page"/>

where

title

Mandatory event caption displayed in the calendar. It is not shown in the event page.

img

URL to an image or icon to dispaly in the calendar. It is not shown in the event page.

alt

Displayed in the event page, if it exists, otherwise ignored.

Several events may be included on one page, although positioning the event page (URL#id) is problematic. There is also the issue that other extensions may use <event> tag, so there is trade-off between a fail-safe tag entry for editors and uniquely identifying the tag as calendar's. It does, imho, solve the page parsing issue and mandating the first line as calendar's.

Pages without a valid event tag are flagged in calendar as invalid events (with a valid link), so editors can move or repair the page.PeterMG 09:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
