Calendar Events [library support]

[Wormopolis]

v1.2.2 submitted to library

added key storage watch to help keep track of size of key
if key is 99% full, no new events can be added via key
its recommended you move some events to plugin settings to reduce key size if you can, especially if they are re-occuring events

Im also going to work on the expansion plugin that will give you more plugin setting space as well as another super forum key that will give you additional 32K of storage.


hey Tim Camara

I was under the impression that keys hold 32K of storage, but when I was looking at his key before I fixed it, it was holding nearly 64K.  am I calculating it wrong?  I used a for loop to go through the array and did a JSON.stringify on each object and summed up its length.  the total was over 65000 characters.. which is almost 64K.  am I missing something?

Thanks, I will upgrade the plugin when is available. Regarding the superkey, if it just provides 32k more space, so 50% more, I will have to follow exactly the same approach, so no real change. It really doe snot make a real difference playing with a span of 100 events than playing with a span of 75 events. Not sure if is worth then, against design a proper management approach (e.g. expiration time)... unless this is extended in Forums.net. I can understand the constraint in proboards accounts.

I can only work with what I have. I cant MAKE storage space appear from nowhere.

Yes, yes, I know, my comment is just so you can better prioritize your work. I have still to analize if I need 32k extra events but probably I can find a management policy as 64k vs 96k does not make a qualitative difference. Just, if you spend a while in creating it, and I finally do not use it, do not blame on me. :-) This is what I meant.

[Wormopolis]

64K is the size of the plugin settings space. 32K is the size of the key. I made it confusing up there when I calculated which is why I was trying to get clarification from Tim.

[ponzinomics]

I was going to upgrade but just noticed that 1.2.2 warns 'Uses 1 Super Key'. I was assuming that 64k version used 1 key and only the enhanced version, with 32k, would use the super key. Is a mistake or did I misunderstand anything?

[Wormopolis]

its always used 1 super key. its where you been storing everything.

[ponzinomics]

I worked Wormo, thanks. For the moment I decided adding only major events (e.g. meetings) and leave minor events (statistical releases) for the future, when the project grows (as is time consuming to maintain a time span of events). So with the current plugin I am done for a while.

[Wormopolis]

make sure you see the note about moving some events into plugin settings. it will free up some space. especially if they are re-occuring then the key doesnt have to worry about them.

Limit is supposed to be 32k, not sure why it allowed more.  I'll add a bug to investigate.

Awesome.  I set a 99% limit in the plugin at 32K so either way it should be safe now.   but I am kinda hoping this is a bug you dont fix since it just gives us twice the room we hoped for.  #goteamcamara

Thank you for getting back to me. I'll just set the days high.

[Wormopolis]

I did, but it was back on page 6.

basically you dont WANT the key to hold things forever or eventually you wont be able to add new events. there isnt unlimited storage here in the key. if you want something to stay around longer, then put it in the plugin settings part. that isnt affected by the auto-delete part of the code. the code only affects what gets stored in the key.

also keep in mind there is going to be another update soon that allows for the reoccur to happen more often then yearly.

My event pops up in the info center at bottom of page but when i click it it says "The calender for this forum is not enabled"

[Wormopolis]

Is that true?
