[FR] Better support for printing
Last modified: 2012-06-21 09:29:36 UTC
I would like for Evolution to have better support for printing its calendars. It should allow users to specify a template that is filled with values from the calendar. The templates themselves could be in some kind of xml (probably svg, with some defined symbols that represent iCalendar objects) as long as Evolution 'exports' symbols to the template (parser), so that we can define templates for printing (examples): - 8 weeks per page - ex-/in-cluding mini-month - 3 months (each on one page), followed by a list of attendees - week-numbers - yearly calendar - 12 weeks (each on one page) leaving half the pages blank for other notes - etc I understand that it might be useful to create an external program that handles this but I think Evolution should keep with the one-program-to-do-everything-approach (at least that is what I see). I am more than willing to help on this, but my c/xml/design-skills are below basic/basic/basic so if it requires me coding I will need some help (mentor anyone?). /tsr
There is apparently a draft for an iCalendar2xml conversion (http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-daboo-et-al-icalendar-in-xml-01.txt) that could be used as a standardized way of exporting iCalendar-data from Evolution. _If_ the draft becomes a standard it could be implemented in Evolution and then used as a means to enhance the printing functionality. /tsr ps. I don't know what I'm supposed or not supposed to do here on this bugtracker, but I hope it is ok that I collect information that I think is relevant. If I'm doing something un-expected/wanted please let me know.
(In reply to comment #0) > - 8 weeks per page - ex-/in-cluding mini-month > - 3 months (each on one page), followed by a list of attendees > - week-numbers > - yearly calendar Except for :list of attendees" this is all covered by bug 218717. Please only put one request into one report. :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 218717 ***
