About Group / Guild Calendar for Classic
This project is a ported version of the Group Calendar addon from vanilla (pre-BC v1.12).
Note: Due to changes made by Blizzard, the addon only works within a single guild.
Key Features:
- Schedule events/dungeons/raids using a calendar display
- View attendance by category
- Tools to help you invite members to a group/raid
- Trust settings restrict who can create events
- View dates/times in local or server time
- View schedule from an alt
You can display the calendar in 3 ways:
- Type /calendar in the chat window
- Click on the sun/moon image near the minimap
- Click the minimap icon

Don't know how it works now but something like that imo:
1. Include "timestamp" into calendar data. When changes made send guild addon message "current timestamp: XXX"
2. When client log in it ask in guild channel "is there timestamp newer than mine YYY?"
3. All clients reply to that with "current timestamp: XXX" message if they have timestamp higher than YYY (may be with random delay 1-10s)
4. If client see in guild channel "current timestamp: XXX" with timestamp higher than his current he send "get data" in whisper channel to only one client
5. When see "get data" request client just answer with "send data" in whisper channel also.
6. Reset current timestamp if unguilded to reload new data when joined another guild.
In reply to GregoryWW:
I was originally going to do this however data can arrive out of order since users can log on/off with data no one else has.
I just need to find a way to make sure data doesn't get left behind.
It is kinda spammy on addon channel. Is that required to send so many messages with no changes at the caldendar?

I would like to make it more efficient however it's hard since there's not a centralized database and changes can come from anywhere. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear from them.
I'll keep thinking on it and hopefully get a light bulb moment at some point.
Following up to an earlier comment with more details.
My original comment talked about Event editors not being able to see the 'description' of an event. It is in fact that no event 'descriptions' can be seen by any user/rank at all, not just across those with Event permissions.
In reply to mcsmalls:
Hey,
I have a fix however I'm struggling to find a way to apply the update without potentially losing the description and/or it not propagating if users don't update to the latest version.
Will hopefully have a solution soon.
I am an officer in my guild and we use this addon and like it alot. I have one guild member that has the current version but can not see the events. He has uninstalled and reinstalled it and still cant see events. any ideas?
In reply to tyious:
Is it just 1 member or are others experiencing this?
Can you create two levels of trust - one for creating and one for deleting? Currently it's a shared setting so there's no way to restrict who can delete events without also restricting who can create them.
Great Add-On!
However, it would be great if you could add functionality to use the list of trusted Members in addition to guild members. Because since we use the calendar with guildies and also a few additional people not in the guild, now I need to constantly manage a trusted people ist, and every time we get new members or alts I need to enter them via hand.
In reply to d4ycoder:
Due to how Blizzard shut-down communication of addons through custom channels, the developer changed this to work behind the scenes through guild related chat. If someone is interested in seeing events, they would need to be within the guild.
If you not guilded spam "You are not in a guild." in chat.

In reply to Specialt1:
I understand, but I dont need it to work on unguilded char, i want it to stop spamming :)
1) One of my alts is currently unguilded and I am constantly flooded with "You are not in a guild." messages, it is very frustrating.
2) I am uncertain why this addon is limited to just one guild. Can you not provide per-character profiles and display the data from each profile in a single UI?
3) It would be nice to be able to add local/personal events. I am already able to see some local events such as when my Mooncloth cooldown is up, but I can't set my own local events such as "Buy P3 rep patterns".
In reply to Karai17:
Hi Karai17,
1) I'm aware of the issue. I've just had more important issues to deal with but will get around to it soon.
2) This addon was a port from Vanilla, it's just how it used to work. I've been adding features as they are requested.
3) It was requested previously to not allow users to make events if they didn't have permission as it caused confusion. The ability to add personal events (not shared) was not a feature of the original addon, other than the auto-generated events such as resets and cooldowns. I have plans to add this feature for particular event types that are always personal.
In reply to saruman2340:
Thanks for the response. I think being able to have multiple profiles so that you can connect with different guilds would be very useful. The ability to toggle some, all, or none of the profiles to display on a given character would also be quite useful in that perhaps some of your characters are "grouped" apart, or maybe you don't want to see data from one realm on another.
I think a possibly simple way to distinguish event locality could be color coding events. That way Guild A events are red, guild B events are blue, and local events are green, or something to that effect. If not color codes, then raid icons or emoji or some other way to denote them. Another way could be to create tabs/pages for each profile, but I'd probably prefer a single UI for everything instead of a bunch of tabs, given an option between the two.
Loving this add on. A couple of things I want to point out to see if it's possible to edit into updates eventually
-Auto complete on text being an enabled or disabled feature. I noticed that when selecting a raid it defaults to either the last raid description and name. For guilds that are running multiple raid groups this is kind of a hassle and can lead to errors. If able to enable or disable this in the add on options that'd be great.
-World Bosses. for the current 2 bosses that are out (Kazzak and Azuregos), and the nightmare dragons to come. Is it possible to create specific events for them? This would be so great for scouting and tracking timers. or setting up scout shifts. Maybe another icon for Meetings?

Hi Iofat,
Both those suggestions sound quite easy to implement. I'll add them to the issues tab as a reminder but it shouldn't take long to implement.
