Matthew is looking into upgrading the Fridge to Drupal 6. He is
investigating if any of the modules can help alleviate some of these
issues.

Matthew, have you had any luck yet?

Ad policy

Hello FWN editors,

When I hooked you up with the folks from Red Hat's training sales
group, it was with the best of intentions. Naturally, the people who
are interested in Fedora are probably also interested in Linux
training, and that probably means Red Hat certification too. Having
them advertise an offer that directly benefited part of our global
community and rewarded them for their work in free software seemed
like a no-brainer to me. I brought that idea here to the FWN editors,
openly and publicly in the Fedora way, and left the decision with you.

However, I realize now that some community members might see running
that ad as a strange entanglement between Red Hat and Fedora. While I
may not agree with that viewpoint, I can understand it. The FWN goes
out on our mailing lists, and if we allowed unrestricted ads elsewhere
on the mailing lists, assuming anyone wanted to run such ads, it would
undoubtedly upset a lot of people.

However, if FWN had a clear ad policy, that might help alleviate such
concerns in the future. I think the FWN editorial staff should talk
with their contributors here, and decide on some sort of advertisement
policy for the FWN. I'm not here to dictate that policy to you,
because you're the ones who make FWN happen every week. It's a very
important service to the community, and one I and many other community
members make use of regularly. We're very grateful for your efforts,
and I think you're the best judges of how to handle this matter.

If you have any questions, I remain on this list, as always, and I'm
happy to help. Thanks, and I apologize for the bother.

Re: Repeating events in the calendar

Hi James,

Yes, this is correct. We cannot install the event repeat module due to
security holes though. The new events system for 6 is being
completely rewritten so upgrading doesn't buy us anything either. :-(

Repeating events in the calendar

Hi,

As I understand from UDS last week you have some problems with the
calendar on the fridge. I believe this is because it doesn't do
repeating events. I asked Emma Jane about this, as she is knowledgeable
about Drupal, she had some good advice, and kindly showed me how
repeating events can be set up.

If the issue is that events simply cannot be made to repeat then the
"eventrepeat" module should be installed and configured. When creating
an event it allows you to define how it repeats. It is fairly easy to
set up and use.

If I misunderstood and you can create repeating events, but they do not
work the way that you like for some reason then if you explain what
issues you have then we can try and find a solution.

Note that eventrepeat does the repeat at creation time, rather than
display time, so you probably don't want to set the repeat too far in
to the future. It does mean that the ical feed contains the repeated
items as individual events, which may help with the ubottu issue.

The eventrepeat page is at http://drupal.org/project/eventrepeat .
It recommends that the "date" module be used instead, however that
would require a switch to CCK. I'm told that would be a good thing, but
may be more work that you wish to undertake at this time.

Thanks,

James
