Hi,

Now I am using joomla 1.5 beta 2. But this Jcal Pro latest version 1.5.3 is not compatible to this joomla version.

When will I get compatible version for joomla 1.5 beta 2?

Waiting for the new version.

Thanks.

Hey,

I am also facing this problem.

How Can I get rid of this?

Is there any one can help us?


Thanks in advance.

You will be waiting some time for a JCal Pro version compatible with Joomla! v1.5. Our current goal is to release one more version for Joomla! 1.0.x and then to get development going for Joomla! 1.5. It is quite a big task.

Also, Joomla! 1.5 is not stable yet and very few compatible extensions exist for it. The Joomla! team does not recommend beta2 for production sites.

True, but for those of us launching new projects now it'd be nice to be able to develop on 1.5 beta with the core extensions (like Jcal) in place, even if they were only "beta-compatible" releases and not necessarily your final 1.5 offering.

I'm having a hard time telling my coders to pour effort into building on 1.0.12 and related extensions when we're going to be at 1.5 by the time we ourselves get into beta over the summer. I'd hate to find my team wasting any more time than necessary retooling the application at that point just to get fundamental extension stuff fixed.

Some of our key functionality revolves around the calendar, so we're really dependent on a 1.5 compatible calendar module to get things off the ground -- to the point where we'd consider putting down some $$$ to get a 1.5 compatible version out sooner rather than later...

well, we will certainly open the SVN to you if you can help. However, i think 1.5 adoption will be quite slow. I have used the betas and there is no compelling reason for an average user to switch (IMHO). No improvement in the end-user support. No improvement in sections/categories (i.e. the change to nested nodes like Drupal). I know the code is being cleaned up and tweaked and stuff, but for 1 year's worth of development, the changes to most end users will appear incremental at best.

This is a WORKAROUND! Not a fix! It took me just a few minutes to make it work, which is why it is extremely ugly :-D
So, here it goes:

1. Replace all occurences of "_mos_add_acl" with "addACL" in this file:
- components/com_jcalpro/config.inc.php

2. Repeat all the "global" declarations at the top of each of these files:
- administrator/components/com_jcalpro/admin.config.inc.php
- administrator/components/com_jcalpro/admin.jcalpro.html.php
- administrator/components/com_jcalpro/admin.jcalpro.php
- administrator/components/com_jcalpro/admin_settings.php
- administrator/components/com_jcalpro/includes/events.html.php
- administrator/components/com_jcalpro/includes/events.php
- components/com_jcalpro/config.inc.php
- components/com_jcalpro/themes/default/theme.php
- components/com_jcalpro/admin_events.php
- components/com_jcalpro/include/functions.inc.php
- components/com_jcalpro/jcalpro.php
- components/com_jcalpro/jcalpro.class.php

For example: In "admin.config.inc.php", "$CONFIG_EXT" and "$lang_config_data" are declared as "global", so you place this at the very top of the file: "global $CONFIG_EXT, $lang_config_data;"
Repeat this with each of the global declarations of each file.

Et voila... it works!
BTW: Using globals is extreeeemely bad practice, but I currently don't have time to write a cleaner fix, replacing all global declarations.

Have fun

EDIT: I forgot to mention one exception: Do not add the global declaration for $params at the top of functions.inc.php

I'd like to see this running on J! 1.5 if you have it working.

With these instructions I get it run in joomla 1.5 but I have a problem with the access control. Even when I set the 'Who Can Submit New Events' parameter a none registered user can add new events. This is not what I want. Have you seen this behaviour aswell? And how did you do a quick hack?

I just bought this calendar. It looks great but when purchasing, I didn't see anywhere that it wasn't compatible with 1.5. That sucks a big one.  Now I feel like I wasted my money... I hope I at least get to upgrade when the new one comes out.

Did you read the documentation page? It shows that 1.6 beta works with Joomla! 1.5 in legacy mode.this is not true for 1.5. It's also shown for the main component at point of download:

This archive contains the main JCal Pro component modified for dual compatibility with Joomla 1.0.x and Mambo 4.6.2. Install using the Joomla! component installer or Mambo universal installer and then create a new component menu item directed towards JCal Pro.
