I may as well go ahead and list some of the issues that came up immediately the first time I tried the module. This is a fresh non-upgrade installation of DNN4.3.4

1. I added my first test event. I get script errors on the page (little yellow IE icon). The cause appears to be content that contains brackets and/or apostrophes.. it/they interfere with the mouse-over tooltip.

2. When I updated the event because the times were all wrong, it created a second copy of the event. Editing one of them and clicking Delete doesnt delete it. Exiting to the listing again and clicking the red X to delete does delete it.. and in fact deletes both copies.

3. Time zones are up the duff... this seems to be mentioned in other threads so I'm guessing it'll be worked on.

4. Adding an event that begins middle of July and goes to middle of September, creates events only on days in July and none in August or September.

And suggestions for future bits:

1. Instead of, or in addition to, the websafe colour dropdowns, give us a field to type a colour value into. I hardly ever use websafe colours on a site other than the basics, red, blue, black, white etc.

2. A tickbox to disable the time zone display. But not until it has been debugged.

3. Better formatting. Everything seems to be displayed line after line with no breaks and all centered. I haven't delved into it further to see if I can tidy it up but I'm hoping I can. Maybe some basic templating of the output?

4. The enrolement function is very cool and could be extended to subscriptions. Then it would need to automatically add the subscriber to a specified role and also automatically email a subscription reminder out some time prior to the expiry date and remove them from the role if it does expire. Subscribers would be able to see content made visible to the role.

5. In list view, split the field "Begin/End Date Time" to be seperate date and time. I'd normally just want the date listed in the short list view and splitting them would allow either or both.

That's about all that comes to mind on first look.

Regards,
Rob

Issue:

2) Problem is related to timezones issue. On the event that I created: I chose an event at 6:30PM -7:30PM and changed the timezone to EST from the incorrect default UTC 00:00. This creates an event that starts at 11:30PM and goes into the following day. Deleting the event doesn't delete two seperate events, but rather the one event that is spanning multiple days.

3)The timezone is not reflecting the default timezone chosen for the portal.

4)Is mostly true. If you choose the show events on next/prev months option, it will show up on the current months calendar. However, the other months are not visible.

 

Additional suggestion: allow the module to select the main background based on the selected template and/or optionally allow the user to specify one. IMO that purple background for the date line just doesn't work with the default grey template.
