SID-02410: Errors with Calender plugin

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.1.0	Perl version:	5.26.1
Category:	CalendarPlugin	Server OS:	Ubuntu 18.04.02, kernel 4.15.0-54-generic	Last update:	6 years ago

Hi,

first a little bug report concerning your website: https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/CalendarPlugin returns the error message: "missing HTML::CalendarMonthSimple"

The first problem I ran in when installing the CalenderMonthSimple2 plugin was caused by a perl version-related issue in Line 267, 268 of /twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/CalendarPlugin.pm Here, the '{}' needed to be escaped '\{ \}' using perl 5.26.1

The second issue which I could not solve yet causes the following error message: "missing HTML::CalendarMonthSimple2" from line 511 of the CalendarPlugin.pm. The first perl library path is /twiki/lib/, and "eval 'require HTML::CalendarMonthSimple';" was finding HTML/CalendarMonthSimple.pm correctly. In the same directory resides the CalendarMonthSimple2.pm with the same permissions and I have no clue what could be the actual cause.

Best wishes, Rene

Discussion and Answer

Actually, when searching plugins by tag, one gets a list https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/SearchByTags?tag=calendar which allows downloading the plugin without entering the website. Interestingly, the content of this file is quite different from what I downloaded some days ago. Below, the content of the two files is listed.

Thanks for reporting the issue "missing HTML::CalendarMonthSimple" issue, is now fixed on TWiki.org.

This plugin depends on CPAN:HTML::CalendarMonthSimple, not HTML::CalendarMonthSimple2.

-- Peter Thoeny - 2019-07-14

Not sure where you got the zip with 30 files. The correct one from the plugin page and SearchByTags?tag=calendar has 13 files, including directories.

-- Peter Thoeny - 2019-07-14

I downloaded the version with the 30 files that created the reported issues from the bottom of this page: https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/CalendarPlugin2 From what you say I assume that it would be better to use the version with 13 files? (Does it contain the same functionalities/graphics?)

-- TWiki Guest - 2019-07-15

For test reasons I installed the version 1 with the 13 files. Also here the brackets needed to be escaped in twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/CalendarPlugin.pm lines 154, 199, 480 when using perl 5.26.1. Then it worked fine.

-- TWiki Guest - 2019-07-16

However, it would be excellent to get version 2 running, as this allows hh:mm and 'click-through' months.

-- TWiki Guest - 2019-07-16

TWiki is open source. You or someone in the community could merge these two plugins back into CalendarPlugin. I think it makes sense to rename/bundle the CPAN:CalendarMonthSimple with the plugin.
