Thank you for picking up the gauntlet and fixing Calendar.

I have found one bug. Once an event is entered I can not get back to the event page. Since only the first few characters of the event show then it is important to be able to get the the event page to see all the details.

On hex2bits page several people and myself have posted some ideas for enhancements. I hope you look at these and consider implementing some of them (well my ideas anyway ;).

Thanks, Paul marvinp@chubb.com --164.44.67.4 19:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

If you can explain this bug a little better to me, I will fix it.

I'm going to be adding tool tips next.

I'll review the suggestions as well for improvements.

Calendar
As Paul has said above the Calendar isn't working correctly. At the top of the page I get one of these errors for each event on the calendar month: Warning: htmlspecialchars expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /var/www/wiki/extensions/Calendar/Calendar.php on line 533

Also it isn't parsing the events correctly...as I can see, it is only parsing the first thing it sees. You can view an example in the screenshot i took. The event on October 18 should read "Walled Lake Tournament."

Hm. The errors are weird; it's not happening on my system. I've reviewed line 533. It calls htmlspecialchars($linkText), but $linkText is the result of a str_replace; it can't really be an object, as your error message says it is. What version of mediawiki are you using? What version of PHP are you using?

Also, What do you mean by it's parsing the first thing that it sees. Can you explain to me what the parsing is supposed to do? -- Simsong 02:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)


 * By "parsing the first thing it sees," I meant that on any event it doesn't read the text from inside the  line as the event name, it just reads the first thing it sees. Refering back to the October 18 example, instead of saying "Walled Lake Tournament," it said, "#REDIRECT Qsheets 08:45, 28 October 2007 (UTC)  BTW The versions are MediaWiki: 1.11.0 and PHP: 5.1.6 (cgi-fcgi).


 * GREAT. If you can replicate the error on Forensicswiki, send me the URL, and I'll fix it. Simsong 14:26, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
