Question

I have many pages in a couple of different webs where we keep notes and action items. I am trying to capture all dates and post them to one central location. I have started to add in a Calendar and label some of the tasks with the right syntax. The issue that I am getting is that I can't get the CalendarPlugin to search all webs and topics. Is this a limitation of the Plugin or am I having issues with my intall?

If I type:

• 1 Mon - Committee Meeting

Then I get the calendar with the action item as expected. I then go to another page and try to pick up the calendar item from the previous page and all other calendar items with the following

or

etc but nothing is working

any suggestins?

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

The CalendarPlugin can only process a single explicit topic, so the wildcard will not work. The topic referenced can %INCLUDE% other topics (recursively), but a wildcard will not work in the %INCLUDE%, either. Without modifying the CalendarPlugin, you would have to construct a topic that explicitly %INCLUDE%'d all the topics in which you have the calendar items noted.

I solved it by making a results page called "CalendarSearchResultsPage" I then put in the following searches (note, I did not cover exceptions yet...)

---++Single / Interval

I then tested it with another page where I put in the following events

   * 02 Feb 2002 - 04 Feb 2002 - Vacation 2
   * 05 Jun - Every 5th of June 3
