PostCalendar 6.0.0 (Lazarus)

18 January 2010

The main purposes of this release was to move to Zikula categories, straighten out all the spaghetti-code in order to make development easier, simplify the module (removing extraneous features)

PostCalendar requires Zikula 1.2.1 or higher. It is dependent on the bug-fixes made in Zikula 1.2.1 to function correctly. Please keep your Zikula installation current.
NEW Use of Zikula Categories fully implemented (multi-categorization possible). Eliminated internal categories and use of PostNuke-era Topics module. PostCalendar imports and transcodes all this to Categories for all events. If admin has previously migrated Topics info (using News, for example) PostCalendar will attempt to use those.
1. On initial install, a default sub-category is created ('Events')
2. On initial install, a sample event is created ('PostCalendar Installation')
NEW Featured Event Block - with option to show daily countdown and auto-hide on expire feature.
NEW Support for all hooks.
1. Full support for scribite! and hook-modules like bbsmile and bbcode in the event description field.
2. Full support for EZComments and inline notification of events with comments.
NEW Support for MultiHook Needles - provides two needles for use (POSTCALEVENT-{} and POSTCALDATE-{}).
NEW Admin-defined Zikula group can be allowed to create personal calendars.
NEW Admin-defined default categories on new event creation.
NEW Navbar images now optional (admin defined)
Dramatic improvement in code quality and alignment with Zikula APIs and coding standards (as they stand in Zikula 1.2). 95% of this is only seem from a developers view of the code, but it has resulted in removal of much redundant code, thus speeding up the application and speeding development.
Overhaul of all templates for W3C-compliance, better usability and accessibility.
1. Templates and CSS are now W3C-Valid XHTML 1.1.
2. Templates have been re-styled for a more contemporary look, removing most table-based layout.
Strong implementation of admin-definable date formatting that is consistent throughout the module, blocks and needles. This includes the jump-date selector! Improved formatting selector in admin config.
NEW notification of pending queued events in the calendar block and user templates.
NEW Calendar block can limit displayed events to selected category(s).
Support for RSS feed through special template
Improved Zikula Search result display with filtering by category and searching into past and future events.
Improved pop-up and hover functionality.
