[calendar] Calendar

Adding relate Date issue

The module page says the drupal 8 version is not usable yet, It seems to work good when I tested on a dev site. Should I still avoid using this module in production?

I can confirm that it seems to work fine.

#2604546: Timezone handling should be fixed before we can do a stable release.

I had earlier trouble with calendar (8.x-1.x-dev 2017-Jan-28) on drupal 8.3.0, but I've updated to drupal 8.3.2 and fixed my own problems and calendar is working for me. I am not having any issue with timezones. Thanks to the group that made this happen!

I also am wondering where things are at with the calendar module. I would really like to have a working version with the ability to have events repeat weekly, monthly, etc. I know nothing about programing or coding, so I'm worthless there. Still, any report on what is happening behind the scenes would be most welcome!
FYI, the Calendar module just has one sentence under Drupal 8: Please see #2492011: Port Calendar module to Drupal 8 to track progress and help migrate Calendar to Drupal 8! But when I go to #2492011, it says that stream is closed (as of 4 months ago). The commentators seem to indicate they will work on Timezone Handling #2604546, but nothing has been posted there in the last 4 months. Please don't tell me this is being abandoned!

Has anyone seen another calendar?
One that uses scheduler would be nice.

This one works much better imho: https://www.drupal.org/project/fullcalendar
Works like normal view plugin - therefore much easier to understand!

Now that Drupal is at 8.4-x it would be nice to know what is being recommended for use with date/time range that is now in core.

Is Calendar going to be the main implementation for Drupal or is there another direction? I would prefer not to rely on an external option like fullcalendar as that adds extra administration overhead and training.

We are going to migrate from a D7 site and use calendar extensively including date repeat, etc.

The 2 main issues blocking us from an alpha-release are #2604546: Timezone handling and #2699477: Steps towards handling end dates in Calendar 8, I tagged them accordingly.

thanks for info, @geertvd.

@Bwolf, @Isabug: like so often, the problem is that most of the users wait for something to happen, but it requires help of all of us to move things forward. So if anyone has skills or knows somebody with skills, do not hesitate to chime in the respective issues to help.

@maxilein: I think the issues the calendar module has are the same fullcalendar will have, since most of them are not project specific but related to Core issues or to issues of other contrib modules.

Is there any reason to not deprecate this module (and FullCalendar) in favour of Fullcalendar View as suggested in #2920904-4: New release or mark obsolete and redirect people to fullcalendar_view??

Well, in theory, if it actually worked, calendar would be better than fullcalendar_view, since calendar (intends to) generate the calendar directly as HTML, while fullcalendar_view requires JS.

I proposed at least killing off fullcalendar in favor of the (actually working) fullcalendar_view since they're both trying to do the exact same integration with the fullcalendar.js library.

This module here is/was taking a totally different approach that doesn't depend on JS or an external library. So, if it actually worked, it'd be (IMHO) a win over fullcalendar_view. But, it's pretty stalled, and perhaps it should just die, too.

*shrug*

I would like to help get this module working for Drupal 8. Can I get access to the git repos for this module? Or, what do i need to do in order to help? I am very interested in getting this module fixed and working. Willing to donate whatever time I need to make this thing work.... Please contact me. Thanks.

#21: Please contact the maintainers directly (using their contact forms) as they may not be following along here. Thanks for offering to help!

In my ignorance of this issue I downloaded calendar dev version for drupal 8 and it has base functionality working ok. Some things not working but ok to test against.

I've been using this module in a pre production instance of a site and seems like functionality is pretty stable. There a few bugs here and there but for basic functionality seems like it's working as intended.

Are you saying that it now works with dateRange to span across multiple days? If so, has the bug regarding spanning across months been addressed?

Dear all,
We need these calendar module badliy in Drupal 8.
Thnaks

nothing to do during lock in

just tried installing using 'composer require 'drupal/calendar:^1.0' and 'drush en calendar' on a clean new install. it appears to install clean and uninstalls clean. thats as far as i got right now.

cheers.

on the config page while looking at the legend view i'm unable to view options

cheers

@kokrull Please file an issue at the project. This issue is about the port to D8. Not the place to report issues with it!

@mmjvb

thanks, sorry and done

cheers

Picking this up here's a new roadmap for 8.x-1.x, I will map existing issues to the points in the IS later:
#3556287: Roadmap: Release a stable version of Calendar 8.x-1.x
