Hello. Is it a bug or a feature? I've got everywhere 24h time format. In system locale, in date/time settings, google calendar settings also have time format 13:00 instead of 1:00PM. But event calendar - shows time in 24h format except all events from google calendar. All calendar events, and weather forecast - shows AM/PM time. How can i fix this? :)

What's your time format in Event Calendar's settings?
If you have an "AP" or "ap" in the format, it will use the 12h clock. Eg: "h:mm ap"
If you do not have the "ap", it will use the 24h clock.

Thank you! :) Looks like it is default misconfiguration. I did not set any time format in "Line 1" string. And by default, there was empty string with placeholder "h:mm". After i put there hh:mm - the issue was solved.

Dunno if this is the best place for feedback/requests, but lemme say this widget is totally awesome. I'm only having one problem, it doesn't seem to be using system proxy settings for syncing the Google Calendar. Is that a know limitation? Are you going to address it if it is? Cheers!

Sorry, I don't see a way to send a http request using the proxy settings using QML's JavaScript, I'd probably need to do something with a C++ plugin, which won't happen (since I want the widget easy to install).

Fair enough, totally understand the tradeoffs you're considering. Bloody proxies :(
Thanks for the quick response.

Hi there,
Your plasmoid looks absolutely great and it's a shame it can only work with google. Could you add support for caldav calendars if it's not too much work? Would definitely use it then.
Keep up the good work!

A very productive plasmoid.
There is a feature request: adding support for local ICS files.

What version of plasma frameworks do you have? That API function was added in Plasma Framework 5.19.

5.5.5 The one which comes with kubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Report

Seems like it comes with Frameworks 5.18. Guess I'll reupload eventcalendar v47 for people still using the Kubuntu LTS.

You should honestly be using at least Plasma 5.8 though since it's the first "stable" release of Plasma which has Long Term Support. Look into the Kubuntu Backports PPA (or an updated distro).

Yeah, you're right. Frameworks is 5.18. 5.5.5 is the version of the plasma itself.

Thanks for the backward compatibility. Sadly I got the same Issue with v47 under Kubuntu 16.04 (Qt: 5.6.1 / KDE Frameworks: 5.18.0).

I ended up installing the backports (https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports) to get the new Framework.

I like it, but I wished you could change how the weather diagram looks and be able to show weather in the panel. :)

Close to perfect! Everything I want in one place. Any chance I might be able to sync with my Windows Phone (Outlook) Calendar?

Hello,
Great work on this widget! It is one of those rare gems that works well, looks good and is intuitive!

I have just one feature (request?) unless there is a proper way of doing it.
How do you add events to dates that are in the future (as in not this month)
For eg. Adding an event to a date this month is simple, just click on the day that appears in the agenda and type it in. However, if it's to add an event to a date in a month or two, the days do not appear in the agenda list.

(I see only one way - double clicking on the calendar date to open up Google calendar in a browser) I find myself avoiding inputting things into Google Calendar directly as it is not very intuitive. And I'm looking for a simple solution that I can check quickly at a glance on my desktop.

Proposition: By clicking on a date in the Calendar, it makes the day appear in the Agenda, which can then be clicked - to add an event :D

This takes care of inputting events for any dates (this month or in the future)

Thanks for reading!

> How do you add events to dates that are in the future (as in not this month)

Ah, good point. I should probably make a clickable button for every single day in the visible month. Forget why I didn't do this initially, probably because of a bug I fixed. Anyways, it's in v47.

It works well, thanks for your reactivity!

One thing I have stumbled upon as well, is when you click on a date in the Agenda: You have the Calendar dropdown box and Textbox. If you click on the Calendar dropdown and have it open for too long as you choose a Calendar, it actually selects the whole widget (changing it to a colour blue) and moves the position of the widget on the desktop. (Following the mouse cursor)

v48 - July 7 2017 (Requires Plasma 5.6) 3 months ago

v47 - June 9 2017 4 months ago

* Add German translation by frispete
* Add button in the config to simply installing translations (hopefully it works).
* Ability to set colors in the agenda/meteogram. Only available in the debugging/advanced view for now. A simpler editor will come soonish.
* Scale meteogram/agenda icons based on the DPI.
* Show clickable date in agenda for each day in selected month.
* Wait 100ms after receiving events before updating the interface. Should minimize stuttering when events are loading.

v46 - April 27 2017 5 months ago

* Add ability to set the radius of the selected date.
* Fix different sized labels (for 1-9 vs 10-31) in the calendar when the cell height is greater than the width.
* French translations by Amathadius.

v45 - April 22 2017 5 months ago

* Get rid of padding between event summary and the timestamp.
* Polish the Google calendar list in the config. Adding a refresh list button, mark which calendars are read only, and sort the list alphabetically.
* [upstream] Shrink and elide week names like is done with day delegate

v44 - April 8 2017 6 months ago

* Fix "ConfigSerializedString.qml is missing" error when installed via a package manager that downloaded from GitHub by commiting the file.
* Support event specific colors. When a specific event is assigned a color, a colorId is used rather than a hex color (#ffffff). So we package a hardcoded set of colours for now until we download the user selected colors from the API.

v43 - April 6 2017 6 months ago

* A notification is now displayed when an event is starting.
* Can now delete non-reoccuring events from the context menu.
* Prepare widget for translations (thanks Victor).
* Use same popup size as digital clock when only the calendar widget is enabled.
* A new event badge has been added which shows all the colors for that day in a line.
* Add toggle for hiding the background when used as a desktop widget.
* Close new event form with Esc
* Support kelvin/fahrenheit freezing points (below freezing the meteogram line turns blue).
* Refactor the config code. Add an advanced debugging view.
* Show calendar colours in the config.
* When the meteogram is disabled, move the timer to the top right, and have the agenda consume the entire left half of the popup.
* Fix timer overlaying the calendar when using a non-default font size.
