jwhelpley:
Sorry if I missed someone talking about this, but one thing you definately need is the ability to post reoccuring events.

That will be a feature in the commercial control, but is not feesable to do for the free control.

That is fine.  When do you think the commercial version will be available?

There is an error occurred

The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'uspWGB_GetCalendarEventsByCalendarYearAndMonth', database 'database', schema 'dbo'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'uspWGB_GetCalendarEventsByCalendarYearAndMonth', database 'database', schema 'dbo'.

Can you help me how to fix this bug?  THanks

Hey dotnetlover,

I posted a reply to your question on the CS boards, and am posting it here as well.  As the error says, the account that you are using to access SQL Server has not been granted the EXECUTE permission on the stored procedure that is named.  You probably have the same issue with all of the sp's that begin with "uspWGB_".  You'll need to talk with your DBA to correct the issue.  I would guess that you are not using the default security model and have changed a few things, which is why it isn't working.

Take it easy,
Bill

It would be great if the calendar control would also recognize date codes within CS Articles as well.  I have content that doesn't make sense to publish into a blog or forum.  But there are dates associated with these events that I'd like to display within the Calendar.

I'd also like to be able to display mini-calendars throughout the site that contain a subset of event listings.  For example: I currently advertise having 5 different recurring events available throughout the year.  Each event has it's own page detailing what it's all about.  I'd like to include a mini-calendar on that page that only displays the dates for that specific event.

When might the Commercial version be available (approximately)?

Thanks for this great ad-on!

I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to respond, but I've been extremely busy with another project and forgot about this post.  When I get a chance, I take a look at adding support for articles.  They work quite a bit differently that everything else, so I can't promise anything.

As for the Commercial version, it has been placed on indefinite hold due to lack of interest.  In order for me to break even I would need to sell at least 1,000 licenses, but only about 125 people have downloaded the control.  I will be releasing a non-paid license version for CS 2008 shortly after CS 2008 is released, but that is the only thing that I currently have planned.

Take it easy,
Bill

Bill,

Thanks for your reply.  After upgrading from cs2007 to cs2008, I've discovered that anytime you submit any blog/comment/article post, the following error is displayed:

Method not found: 'Boolean CommunityServer.Components.User.get_IsFileAdministrator()'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Boolean CommunityServer.Components.User.get_IsFileAdministrator()'.

Is there anything you can do?

BTW, I'm still very interested in having support for articles. I know you're very busy.  So any reponse will be greatly appreciated.

CS2008 is not currently supported, but that will be changing soon.  First, I need to convert this site over to CS2008, but that can't be accomplished until I correct some serious shortcommings of CS2008.  There are several bugs in CS2008 related to the API that may make it impossible to release a new control.  Also, CS no longer uses the ComponentArts libraries, which means I need to completely rewrite the calendar engine.

If all goes well, and I have the time, the first beta may not be available until the end of August.  If there are any road blocks, the earliest that it could even go to beta would be the beginning of October.  CS2008 was basically released in alpha/beta form, so there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed.
