Posted by gestadieu as Symfony, iCal for WP
It is now time to look at iCal4WP and see how we can improve it and ultimately release a 1.0 version.
Here is the todolist for this 1.0 version:
- Bug Fixes:
- Fix repeating events to make sure they appear as well in the sidebar widgets (currently only the first event appear, thought it works on feeds)
- Make it works with Wordpress 2.3 (issues with new categories system, see hooks)
- add the plugin in wordpress.org with svn account (about plugin hosting),
- re-organize UI to make it more user-friendly,
- switch to jQuery to be aligned with wordpress new default JS library and not loading a new js library
- Use jQuery plugins for date and time pickers,
- allow events with no end date (useful for people organizing night event with no specific end time)
- Do not show list of events if no event to list, but still keep feeds pull down menu.
- Switch from pull down menu to a bar of icons or simply one icon that shows the pull down once clicked (?)
- Improve widget UI: input of title in the widget conf, select a default type (or maybe if MacOS detected then iCal, otherwise Google Calendar?)
I would like to thing about re-using some code to create a Symfony plugin that can easily deliver events with associated calendar subscription feeds. I can imagine that a Propel behavior could be very useful: you can make any object as an event.

1sounds great! can’t wait till it comes out
i’m running the current version on my site right now, http://s213092888.onlinehome.us/. Everything is working perfectly (ical, Outlook subscribe, event list, etc.) except only one problem – gcal feed is not working…
After hours and hours of working on it I still can’t figure it out. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks!

2One problem I’m finding with this initially is that the when I subscribe via iCal the event time is set to the post time and not the values set within the event section. Any idea what’s up with this? Is this a WP 2.2 issue? Thanks.
