[ANNOUNCE] Organiser Feed - Show upcoming calendar events on your event feed - maemo.org

chillip | # 1 | 2011-11-19, 19:41 | Report

Organiser Feed pushes your calendar entries directly onto the event feed of your home screen.

I have been working on this due to user requests in the maemo forum. In the meantime another solution popped up which still has some issues (mainly due to the choice of programming language some libraries are currently not available) compared to Organiser Feed and therefore I decided to publish it anyways.

Screenshots

Current Features

Per calendar settings for:
- Inclusion in event feed
- Maximum look ahead range (events starting beyond that range will not be shown)
- Maximum number of entries (e.g. only show 1-2 entries at a time)
- Inclusion of to-dos
- Inclusion of overdue to-dos
Recurring event support
Auto-update when entries in the calendar change
Directly jump to the event when clicked on the homescreen
Sort order of events (I am abusing a shortcoming in the current homescreen version for this - this may stop working at any time)
Control panel integration: Configure Organiser Feed via Settings -> Notifications -> Event Feeds
Either a plain icon or the calendar icon with the correct day of the event
Customisable expiry time: events can be removed from feed either at the beginning of the event or at the end
Two display modes: one feed entry per event or aggregation of events happening on the same day into one feed entry (due to platform constraints no more than 5 events per feed entry are possible)

Excellent app, works like a charm

SamGan | # 3 | 2011-11-20, 03:20 | Report

There's another similar app called DateEvent. Are they the same?

Nice addition to the Notifications screen. This installed without any issues.

However, tapping on the calendar entry doesn't take me to the event. No biggie, the Date is right above on the screen and tapping there gets me to the calendar, but your post says it should. It doesn't seem to at the moment.

Which PR are you running? I'm not sure whether the interface I am using was added in PR 1.1 (it works on my N950).

kjmackey | # 6 | 2011-11-20, 18:20 | Report

Ah, could be that. I'm still on the Danish 1.0 PR version. I'll lose patience soon enough and flash my N9.

Thanks again for the nice addition.

Nope, this is more awesome

I've used both, this is clearly the superior choice.

Tapping the calendar entry works for me and using PR 1.1

I have just released version 0.9.3 which fixes an issue with the "Today" and "Tomorrow" labels not being updated automatically (you can always force a reload via the Refresh button of the feed).

Thanks again for the nice addition.

I have added compatibility for PR 1.0. It will not be able to open recurring events (well it will open something but not the exact event you tapped on). Can you report back if it works for you now?
