Description William Jon McCann 2003-08-04 18:10:29 UTC 
It would be very nice for the clock applet calendar to integrate with
external calendar software, such as Evolution.

gdeskcal does this fairly well.

A very simple way to begin this integration is to define a command that
will be executed when a user double clicks on a day in the calendar.

This command could load and display the appointments for the specified day.

The external command would be stored in Gconf.  Mnemonics %Y %m %d would be
replaced with 4 digit year, month, and day respectively.

I will attach a patch for 2.2 and HEAD shortly.

Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2003-08-04 20:09:24 UTC 
This patch calls an external program as:
command [year] [month 1-12] [day]

It doesn't do mnemonic replacement, yet.
Comment 3 Mark McLoughlin 2003-08-05 14:15:53 UTC 
This can't go into 2.3 because we're way past the feature freeze ..
Comment 4 Mark McLoughlin 2003-08-05 14:16:16 UTC 
Thanks for the patch, though, it'll be looked at again for 2.5

Comment 6 William Jon McCann 2003-08-11 20:18:12 UTC 
The second patch adds two other features:
* A "View appointments" item on the clock popup menu
* Adds a popup menu for the calendar that contains "View appointments"
(for the selected day), "Help", and "About" items.

I will make similar patches for 2.5/HEAD.

William:  You have some time before the feature freeze (Jan 5th), but
I wanted to ping you anyway about the CVS HEAD patch.

Sorry the patch took so long.  I was out of the country for a month.
Comment 13 William Jon McCann 2003-12-01 22:25:41 UTC 
Now that we have e-d-s this has been superceded by bug 128283.
