Forum OpenACS Q&A: Broken Calendar navigation buttons

Posted by Raul Rodriguez on 02/21/02 05:00 AM

I installed the calendar package yesterday on my OpenACS 4.x/Postgres
7.1 install. I noticed that as a non-admin user the left and right
buttons on the navigation calendar are broken. I traced the problem
back to dt_left_arrow and dt_right_arrow that are located in
packages/acs-datetime/tcl/acs-calendar-procs.tcl. The source code
for dt_left_arrow shows:
return "/doc/acs-datetime/pics/left.gif"

If read permission is given on http://myserver.com/doc to the user
then the user will see the calendar navigation.
Has anyone else experinced this problem? Is there a reason why the
path was set to go through /doc?

Thanks

Raul, this is yet another issue with the calendar package. We're
working on it right now for dotLRN, and we will certainly consider
this bug as one of many to fix. In general, the calendar package
needed a vast cleanup. We've started it, but much remains to be
done.

Someone in my group did the calendar porting. He is not here anylonger otherwise I would ask him to maintain it. I apologize if it had some bugs...

bugs are part of the process... no worries there. We (OpenForce)
are actively maintaining calendar at this point through the
dotLRN effort. Feel free to use this thread to register complaints/
comments about it.

Ben,

Has openforce added the forward/backward navigation facility that can be seen at the sloan demo at http://acs35.theservice.de? I mean the blue table cell at the top of the calendar's main table, that displays the current position and offers a forward and a backward link.

Currently the top row in that table contains the headings "Time | Title" which describe something that is self-explaining and can thus be removed IMO.

If this has not been done yet and there are no objections then I'd be happy to produce a patch for this.
