Anyone working on a web calendar/appointments/diarying application? -- Graham Chiu

Hi, I think I will start this kind of application in few days. --- Etienne --- Le dim, 06 mai 2001, vous avez écrit :

Would be nice. Sterling started working on one a few months ago but got too busy to complete it. It's resizeable, etc. I'll post it to the Reb as open source, with the agreement that we all get to use it and future enhancements free of charge. It's got a few bugs still, but you'll have it fixed in no time I'm sure. Which reminds me, we **really** need to set up a REBOL-based code sharing area on the Reb. We can host it off our reboltech.com domain. I want to move the main script library there too. -Carl

That's great.

Just a reminder that VidWiki can accept scripts from anyone. And now that it has scroll bars, it meets your earlier objection of being too large for lower resolution clients' screens :-) -- Graham Chiu

Is it going up soon? -- Graham Chiu

I just signed up for MSN's Calendar site, and realised again how badly HTML copes with this type of application. I quite like the way my PDA ( Sharp Zaurus 5800 ) does appointments. There is a block across the screen, and using a pen you can select a default 30 min time interval, or drag select with the pen a longer interval. You can then type in refinements of the time, or just enter the time from the keyboard at the outset. There's also weekly, monthly, yearly views etc, and other standard PDA stuff. Still, the appointment stuff is what I'm most interested in. I think it's doable in Rebol/View. Before I have a crack at it, does anyone else have a Zaurus and an opinion on the appointment interface of their own favourite PDA? -- Graham Chiu

I've added a simple calendar app to the View section of the script library. Not much else to say really. There are so many ways to view a calendar/scheduler that this is just one of them. Sterling

Really nice calendar, Sterling. Cheers, Ed --- [sterling--rebol--com] wrote:

It's pretty tidy, and I think it's the first View application that I recall seeing that also resizes. Now to figure out how it works! -- Graham Chiu

 [10/20] from: sterling:rebol at: 1-Jun-2001 13:39


Yeah. Well, it was either post it now without any real comments or anything or wait until I have time to fully comment it which is probably a long ways off. So, you'll have to take what you can get. ;) You know how to reach me if you have specific questions about it. Sterling

I've made a few small changes - hope nothing breaks :-) 1. Now saves to an ftp site as well as locally, and loads which ever data file is the latest ( assuming that the ftp site is in the same time zone ) 2. Navigating in the day view also changes the month view 3. Clicking on the date brings up a "Goto Date" requestor. I've also seen some code that seems quite puzzling to me eg. size-hol: to-pair reduce [any [all [positive? tmp: dx - 20 tmp] 0] 16] What's wrong with writing this as: size-hol: to-pair reduce [ max dx - 20 0 16 ] -- Graham Chiu

Hi, Graham, Quick note: I was initially confused about what is being requested in the first three prompts of the calendaring app. On closer inspection, it appears as though it may just be a misworded label. The first and third request the "FTP Userid". Looking at the code clarified that the third should read "Enter Your FTP URL" or some similar expression. This is a neat /View app. Lots to learn here ... unfortunately it will have to wait for me. --Scott Jones

Oops, got caught by the cut N paste method. Fixed. I just put that in as an afterthought as I have those values hardcoded into the version I am using.

Agree. I get depressed when Stirling throws this out as a simple calendar :-( -- Graham Chiu

Hi Stirling, I've noticed a problem. If you look at July 2001, it's missing 30th, and 31st, and December 2001 is missing the 31st. I guess they should wrap back to the top line if you want to limit the display to 5 rows. -- Graham Chiu

 [15/20] from: sterling:rebol at: 4-Jun-2001 10:21


Oops. It really should be six rows I guess. Wrapping it around to the top would look weird don't you think? I've never seen any sort of calendar, electronic or paper, do that. It has also bee noted that the weekdays start on monday on the left side which is a bit odd for most calendars. I just fixed the first one so it now has six rows and updated the script in the library. Sterling

I looked at my PDA. It creates a 6th line for December. But all my paper calendars either wrap to the top line, or overwrite the last line giving double duty to the first two days of that week.

Great. -- Graham Chiu

 [17/20] from: allenk:powerup:au at: 5-Jun-2001 8:16


You could use 6 lines like I did in my calendar style. The extra days of the previous and next month are then accessable. That is the layout my paper planner uses, you always get to see a full 6 week period. Cheers, Allen K

Wow, Nice snappy calendar with re-size. Compared to the emailed calendar.doc that has gone around the office here, it opens INSTANTLY, and CRISPLY! Question about group usage of cal-sched.r : What would the Gurus recommend for a collaborative calendar? (add a user word to the inner-most block? Thanks, Steve Shireman

 [19/20] from: carl:rebol at: 6-Jun-2001 9:51


An /Express style update method would work best. So, there would be a short server-side REBOL script that would deal with the collab, single threading changes, logging, locking, etc. You want? -Carl

 [20/20] from: steve:shireman:semaxwireless at: 6-Jun-2001 13:22


Sure, me want. Assorted comments: 1. I noticed it doesn't delete the entries if you clear it from GUI... 2. Looks like cal-sched.r could be used to drive an alarm clock cron... 3. resize only works from the right side (not bottom) But I like how it stays square with relativity.
