Development

How sweet would it be if the GL calendar could be integrated with the Mozilla calendar or Apple\'s iCal application? Both use the same standard vCal format, so by implementing such capability, it would provide web-based calendars for workgroups, allowing them to share calendars, while not requiring that they enter in duplicate every event (once into iCal, once into GL).

iCal supports published calendars (via webDAV), and there are already projects on Source Forge that are using php to implement web-based calendars. When a user creates an event on the published calendar, it could be syncronized to the GL database.

Just some food for thought. By the way, how is GL 2 progressing? (We\'re we promised weekly updates a while back?)

Just an idea for a feature/hack. . . Since geeklog already has a built in calendar, I think it would be cool if there were a way for members to get a reminder of events (private calendar) before they happen. Just a basic email reminder service using the calendar to hold the events.

The calendar doesn\'t seem to be used as much as it could be. I think this might be a way to bring some life into it. People will start using their personal calendar to add reminders they want emailed to them.

I\'m still pretty new at coding or else I would just write this hack myself. Hopefully, someone better at writing code will find this to be a worthy project.

Several people here have mentioned how they tried PHPnuke, found out how much better it is, and abandoned Geeklog forever. Being curious myself, I decided to download PHPnuke and play with it and find out where they were coming from.

Here are the observations I made of how it is better/worse in comparison to GeekLog..
