A couple of bugs were reported with 4.2, including the major bug that GC 4.2 simply doesn't exchange data(!!) Here's 4.2.1 which fixes that -- sorry for not noticing the problem but I've been testing by myself on the WotLK servers and didn't notice that I'd broken the comm. code.

v4.2.1 Changes

- BUGFIX: Fixed scrolling in the About databases list
- BUGFIX: Fixed bug causing incoming data to be ignored

Cheer cheer Laibeus! I would hate to see GC get abandoned because some guys looked at Mundocani funny I now have an uphill battle to forcemy guild to use GC again ! They're all aware of the deficiencies of the in-game calender, yet seem to be locked into a mindset whereby they think that if it's part of the game, it must be better... Plebs.

Keep up the awesome work Mundo - this and your Outfitter addon are just superb.

Cheers,
Skan

im trying to use both GC and the bliz calendar both and am running into one problem (mostly bliz fault) the only way to access bliz cal that ive discovered is the minimap icon and /calendar. my current minimap setup excludes all icons and i prefer it that way, and even if i wanted to show the calendar icon, what i use (chinchilla) currently isnt allowing it. and if i have GC running, it overrides the /calendar command. so it comes down to 2 options to get into bliz calendar, one is disable GC and the other is to disable chinchilla. theres no excuse that bliz didnt allow hotkey for it, but they didnt. any ideas?

For a quick fix, open GroupCalendar.lua in any text editor and look for this

SlashCmdList.CALENDAR = function (...) GroupCalendar:ExecuteCommand(...) end
SLASH_CALENDAR1 = "/calendar"

Put two dashes in front of both lines, like this

-- SlashCmdList.CALENDAR = function (...) GroupCalendar:ExecuteCommand(...) end
-- SLASH_CALENDAR1 = "/calendar"

and then do /reloadui. You can then still use /cal to get to Group Calendar but /calendar will take you to Blizzards.

I'll remove the /calendar command from GC for the next build.

Good addon.

as soon as you log in to the game you get an error regarding

"[GroupCalendar] Global CalendarRoleLimitsFrameDEATHKNGIHTLabel not found"

I'm sorry to hear you didn't get the response or respect you wanted from the Blizzard UI devs, and they are mooching off the addon developer crowd, but it's a flourishing community, and other than a little more respect and acknowledgement I don't see what they could do without putting themselves in a liable position.

It's their game and they make the rules.

Did the error happen on the WotLK server or on the live server?

You're right that it's their game and they make the rules, my problem is that this is very time-consuming and if Blizzard doesn't care or want to help then I feel like I shouldn't bother. They can afford to work on this -- they make *billions* of dollars a year off of all of us. Addon authors make zero. I'm not really keen on feeding the profit machine of a corporation if they're just going to use the dev community as a free labor pool and abuse the community by barely acknowledging them.

I can understand feeling put off by the Blizzard UI guys, but you didn't create GroupCalendar and Outfitter for them, you created it for the community.

I would hate to see you stop developing. As you said, it takes time and effort to code and keep these addons functioning properly and it's something for which you receive no compensation.

You could do as some other addon authors do, however, and set up a way for people to give donations.

You're right that it's a labor of love and done for myself and the community and not for Blizzard, but Blizzard benefits heavily from the mod community and I find their support of that community to be minimal.

I've been develping Group Calendar for something like three years now, and have endured the occasional abusive user who thinks they're owed something, the occasional zealot who comes by to tell me how GC sucks and GEM is so much better, and even now I get to read WoW forum posts from people elated that Blizzard added a calendar so they can finally stop using GC and how it's so much better. I know the vast (and I do mean *vast*) majority of GC users appreciate the work I've done and the contributions of those who've assisted me, but to have Blizzard blow me off like that is really like rubbing salt in the wounds and makes me view them the same way I view the occasional abusive user -- as people who only take and do nothing to help.

I've tried putting out the tip jar btw and learned as many others have that very few people are willing to donate to free software. In two years of accepting PayPal donations for Group Calendar and Outfitter I received something like $100 total, mostly from two or three large donations from some generous Europeans. I finally took the donation link down because primarily it was just feeding spambots who started flooding my PayPal email address with p0rn and drug ads.

Really the money has nothing to do with it -- I retired off my tech. stock options in my mid-30's and couldn't care less about making money on this. What I need is to enjoy doing it and feel that it's appreciated. That's where Blizzard has failed me unfortunately.

All that b1tching aside though, I still enjoy working on GC and am making (slow) progress on GC5. I may just implement it without role support for now so that it can get done and worry about roles at a later time. Just having some of the friendlier UI features of GC in the Blizzard calendar would be very nice.

To me, the new Blizzard built-in calendar is little more than an in-game version of the WoW event calendar on their site showing BG holidays and whatnot. I was excited by the Blizz calendar at first because I had hoped I wouldn't have to deal with the synching issues that GroupCalendar has (i.e. GC spreads it data to others ONLINE with the same mod).
The problems with the lack of real event setup in Blizz's calendar make it worthless to me.

Possibilities I see:
1) Find a way to use GC to interface with Blizzard's calendar somehow. Do your scheduling and sign-ups in GC like normal, but have GC set up a basic event in Blizz's calendar.

2) Get Blizzard to hire mundocani.

I'm really sorry to hear that they brushed you off like that. I love your AddOns.

Suggestion:
Since /calendar interferes, why not use /gcalendar instead? Sure /cal is short and sweet...but I keep thinking I should have a G in front for GroupCalendar. /gc, /gcal, /gcalendar?

It's a relief to hear that GC is still in development.

Depending on the toon and the guild I would sometimes have problems syncing, but I think that was due to how the guild leaders set up the app (you do enough work to really consider it as such) versus how others set it up.

An upgrading of the current in-game calendar I'm greatly looking forward to. Please keep up the good work.

Live.

I have a great deal of respect for the work you've done and definitely think the Blizz devs used your addon as a blueprint or inspiration for what they wanted done, I suppose we just see a few things differently atm - I only use GC due to my guild requiring it. At a minimum, you helped a ton of guilds do a ton of stuff, and made the game hugely more fun in a lot of ways for thousands if not millions of people - for a very long time.

I can't seem to find a way to display the built-in calendar with the GC mod enabled. I can't get invites from people outside my guild thus, or is there something I'm missing?

Again, thanks for all your hard work.

I'm getting that same error in Live as well.
There is a typo in CalendarClassLimits.lua on line 304.

Code:
GroupCalendar._RoleLimitsDialog.Widgets =
{
	"FrameHeader",
	"Title",
	"Description",
	"Priority",
	"PriorityValue",
	"MaxPartySize",
	MinPartySize = "MaxPartySizeMin",
	"PRIESTLabel",
	"DRUIDLabel",
	"SHAMANLabel",
	"PALADINLabel",
	"WARLOCKLabel",
	"MAGELabel",
	"HUNTERLabel",
	"WARRIORLabel",
	"ROGUELabel",
	"DEATHKNGIHTLabel",
Notice the last line.
I imagine that should be "DEATHKNIGHTLabel", instead.
I actually don't know anything about mods, but I tried changing that to DEATHKNIGHTLabel, but that didn't make the error go away...there's probably more to it than that.

-T.

Yes, for some guilds and players it is still relevant.
After checking the ingame one out, I am ashamed for even asking. GC is far superior.

Now comes the work of getting my guild to switch back to GC...

Oh, does Group Calendar have to overwrite the minimap icon for the ingame calendar?

In-Game Calendar Over-write

Now that Blizz has replaced the "useless" sun/moon display with a link to the I-GC, when Group Calendar is loaded it usurps the icon, allowing only access to GC. I know many nay-say the usefullness of the I-GC, but I liked it - if for no other reason than knowing where the Darkmoon Fair is! Is there a way to make them co-exist? I found that, even if the I-GC icon is displayed (as opposed to the GC "clock"), it still brings up GC when pressed. Can another way be found to launch GC without losing access to the I-GC?
