Question

I have many pages in a couple of different webs where we keep notes and action items. I am trying to capture all dates and post them to one central location. I have started to add in a Calendar and label some of the tasks with the right syntax. The issue that I am getting is that I can't get the CalendarPlugin? to search all webs and topics. Is this a limitation of the Plugin or am I having issues with my intall?

If I type:

• 1 Mon - Committee Meeting

%CALENDAR{ showweekdayheaders="1"}%

Then I get the calendar with the action item as expected. I then go to another page and try to pick up the calendar item from the previous page and all other calendar items with the following %CALENDAR{ web="*" topic="*" }% or %CALENDAR{ web=".*" topic=".*"}% etc but nothing is working

any suggestins?

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

The CalendarPlugin can only process a single explicit topic, so the wildcard will not work. The topic referenced can %INCLUDE% other topics (recursively), but a wildcard will not work in the %INCLUDE%, either. Without modifying the CalendarPlugin, you would have to construct a topic that explicitly %INCLUDE%'d all the topics in which you have the calendar items noted.

I solved it by making a results page called "CalendarSearchResultsPage" I then put in the following searches (note, I did not cover exceptions yet...)

---++Single / Interval

I then tested it with another page where I put in the following events

   * 02 Feb 2002 - 04 Feb 2002 - Vacation 2
   * 05 Jun - Every 5th of June 3
