iCal in 3.8

RT Users

3.8 seems to have pulled in the functionality from RTx::Calendar, and
provides iCal feeds for tickets,
but I can’t figure out how to get the a feed for reminders (which must have
dates, unlike tickets).
Is this not implemented, or am I missing something?

I don’t believe it’s ever been implemented. A patch would be lovely

RTx’s POD and source seem indicate it included reminders…

I may try to patch, but from what I’ve seen the RT internals are a little
hard to get one’s head
around; having to constrantly restart apache to flush the cache doesn’t help
either.

Look at the $DevelMode configuration variable. It might make you happy.

The module which was folded into 3.8 is actually RT-Extension-iCal
You can find it in http://code.bestpractical.com/bps-public/RT-Extension-iCal

Please note the code was changed to make it work in 3.8 and there have
been significant changes between 3.8.0 and 3.8.1rc4 in the iCal code

Okay, but is there any documentation on developing plugins? RTx::Calendar
doesn’t work
out of the box on 3.8, presumably because it adds nothing to @Plugins… but
doing so fails
because the file layout does not match what RT expects.* However I have no
real idea what
expects as I cannot find any fully documented plugins and the only promising
thread here
is years old and points at non-existent wiki pages…

  • Adding ‘RTx-Calendar’ to @Plugins gets me the following message, which I
    don’t think should happen:
    [Thu Aug 14 12:29:51 2008] [error] Can’t call method “crit” on an undefined
    value at /opt/rt3/bin/…/lib/RT.pm line 579.\nCompilation failed in require

Hello,

Now that I’ve finished working on RTx::Emailcompletion, I want to find
some time to work on RTx::Calendar and 3.8 compatibility. Perhaps this
sunday.
