Extension talk:MW Calendar

old calendar
Dear Kenyu73, I have been using your "old" calendar extension Extension:Calendar (Kenyu73) for some while now. I was wondering why you now use direct database calls? What will be the advantage? Will we be able to "import" the old calenders? Thank you. --MartinK 10:23, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * re: yes, you can import the old calendar, but the code isn't documented yet and only supports the original date format. The main purpose of direct db usage is speed and control. I create and store the calendar events in my own tables and plan to have all the options stored in tables via an option form.
 * Great. I'm looking forward to it ;-) --MartinK 14:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Calendar beta testing
Hi Eric,

first of all I'd like to say that I love your calender extension. It was my choice when I decided to setup a calendar for one of my mediawikis, and I never regretted this choice.

I now see that you will change to direct database access, about which I'm enthusiastic. I think that's a very good decision, and I say thank you for your efforts and your contribution in advance.

I'd really like to try out the beta on one of my wikis. Is that possible already? When I install the extension, the calender looks great, but when I try to add an event or even try to change the month, the page just reloads with no changes and teh current month displayed.

Could you please tell my if that must be a problem with my configuration or it the calender is not functional at all at the moment. If it's a local problem with me, would you be so kind and give me a hint where to look for the error? Could it be that is doesn't work with the 1.15 mediawiki release that I'm using?

Thanks a lot,
