event calendar pro 'Repeats' date picker date format

Hi Joe,

in the 'Repeats' the date picker set the date format in english (i.e. 9/4/2009) and that throws an exception on a german site: "is not a valid datetime." Where can I change this?

Best

I would try and put this in your user.config to force German culture.

<add key="site1culture" value="de-DE" />

note that this assumes your siteid is 1.

If that does not solve it let me know and I will investigate it as a bug.

Best,

Joe

Did you touch the Web.config after making the change in user.config? This will make it reload the settings. 

I will investigate this tomorrow either way and make sure it works as expected or fix it.

Best,

Joe

Hi Matthias,

Sorry I forgot to tell you one step. Also need to add this to user.config

<add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true" />

again, touch web.config to make it load this setting.

It should fix the date picker problem. It does not fix the clock hours issue, but I'm working on a fix for that right now and will look into your other questions also today.

Best,

Joe

  • I've just uploaded a new version of Event Calendar Pro 0.0.1.6 which has this issue and others you mentioned fixed. Please download and install the new version the same as initial installation and then visit the setup page.
  • This is now implemented in version 0.0.1.6, there is a module setting for the clock format as either am/pm or 24 hour.
  • In the new version 0.0.1.6 I added another buttom to update all recurrences. This way its possible to update a specific event or all recurrences.
  • I just uploaded a new copy of Event Calendar Pro 0.0.1.6, the only changed file is the TimeLine.NET.dll, it should fix the problem.

Hi Joe,

incredible, everything works fine. Now it's exactly what we need. Cool Thank you and cheers. Matthias

 

P.S. I put down an event with repeats every weekday Mon-Fri and for the end date I changed the date in September but forget to change the year. I get a List View with more than 400 pages, but I did not realize that. Than I changed the end time for all recurrences - my PC had a lot of work to do :-) Next time I'll be aware of the year!

Re: event calendar pro 'Repeats' date picker date format

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for the beer!

Yeah the creation of recurrence is a difficult task, it has to make the event records and friendly url entries for each of the recurrences. I queue a task to create them on separate thread. Then I purposely put a few seconds of thread.sleep on the main UI thread to give the task a chance to start before giving back the UI control. Otherwise you would see the page before any recurrences have been made and you would think it was not working. If the recurrences go for a long time it still may be creating them on the background thread for a litle while but at least if the first few have been made it appears to be working.

Best,

Joe
