Struggling with Installation/Configuration

Hi,

This plugin/extension appears to be exactly what we need, but given my novice Foswiki skills I am struggling to understand the requirements to setup and configure this on a brand new Foswiki 1.1.2 installation. We've also tried on 1.1.1 and 1.0.9 with similar issues. Here is what we did:

1. Install plugin and all prerequisites including missing Perl modules etc. Everything appears at first glance to be working per configure.

2. When we create a new topic and cut an paste in the raw FullCalendarEventTemplate we were expecting to get some kind of semi-usable demo, but instead we get just the event submission form with no calendar and the submission form doesn't seem to be able to do anything.

I've searched/Googled and haven't been able to come up with a page that kind of goes over the installation and configuration of this plugin for a novice. Is there anything that I should know about that can help us configure this plugin? Thanks for help in advance.

You must place the macro

%FULLCALENDAR{}%

on the page where the calendar should appear.

Then foswiki builds the calendar with javascript.

Currently you have to replace the HijaxPlugin.pm in your foswiki installation (/path/to/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Plugins/HijaxPlugin.pm) with the version from trunk (http://svn.foswiki.org/trunk/HijaxPlugin/lib/Foswiki/Plugins/HijaxPlugin.pm) to get it working with 1.1.2.

You may find details about this in the IRC logs (http://irclogs.foswiki.org/bin/irclogger_log/foswiki?date=2010-11-10,Wed&sel=309#l305).

I think, David will release a new version soon.

Yes, please update to the very latest .zip version (just uploaded to Foswiki.org) of this plugin and HijaxPlugin available from the Extensions web. These are quick fixes to make them work with the new Foswiki 1.1.x (and with the new ZonePlugin on 1.0.9).

Once you have the latest versions installed, in order to see a demo, you only need to visit the WebCalendar topic linked to from the plugin page. This topic has a VIEW_TEMPLATE setting that uses the %FULLCALENDAR% macro to initiate the calendar. Additional options for the macro are defined on the plugin page.

Thank you both Michael & David. This information was exactly what we needed to know and we were able to get this working on 1.0.9 and hopefully shortly on 1.1.2.
