Testing out crpCalendar - thanks Daniele Conca for a great event list manager! It looks well put together, and the code looks good.

One problem, though - having trouble getting categories to save. I've added them via categories admin under the crpCalendar node.

They show when editing or creating a new event in the drop down, but don't make it into the categories mapobj table.

Is this functionality not yet complete? I'm testing it on RC3, clean install.

Anyone else able to use categories with crpCalendar?

Thanks!

yes, it's already fixed in crpCalendar (and crpVideo too) SVN head: this malfunction is due by some change (which i've not searched) in RC3 categories selector from property array index to property array name (this is also the same problem that could be finded using RC2 ValueAddons with RC3 Core) ... and the next release will be backwards compatible

unfortunately, release package 0.3.1 categorization will work only with RC2

ok So the SVN version is working with RC3?

Thanks for the info - was looking into the categories change myself to see if that was the problem.

Will it be possible to do a mass bulk upload of events for my crpCalendar module. I have a spread sheet with over 300 events for 2008 year and I just don't think I can sit down and enter them all one by one.

I don't know enough about PHP or MySQL to know where to beging, so if there is somebody out here that can point me in the right direction I will immensely appreciate it.

I am using this module as well as the Postcalenar. I will be using this module because the RSS capabilty!

Thanks,

This is my install info:
PostNuke 0.8.0.0-RC3
PostCalendar 4.0.3

I do bulk uploads all the time

You do have to learn a little about SQL and the DB structure of the module in question.

Usually, I just create a CONCAT function in my spreadsheet taht compiles the date into an INSERT or UPDATE statement in SQL.

Then, copy all the lines, and paste into your SQL tool - SQLyog, phpMyAdmin, etc.

The trick is knowing what needs to be mapped to what fields in the DB, what format the data needs to be in (mySQL dates versus unix time, etc.) and if the particular module has data that needs to be calculated, etc - meta data, etc. In that case, you'll have to write a similar calculation in your spreadsheet and upload the result of that calc in place of it being in the module.

Then, you could always pay someone to create an upload tool for a particular module, or pay the original author to add int he functionality.
