uPortal IRC Logs-2011-12-07

[10:09:09 CST(-0600)] <dd_> anybody have experience with the calendar portlet?

[12:03:43 CST(-0600)] <dd_> anyone have any experience getting calendar information from exchange 2003 into uportal?

[12:04:27 CST(-0600)] <athena> i think the adapter that's there was tested against exchange 2007

[12:04:40 CST(-0600)] <athena> i don't know if there are significant differences in the schemas

[12:05:01 CST(-0600)] <athena> alternatively, anthony colebourne at manchester has been doing some work with an exchange api he says is much easier to use

[12:07:38 CST(-0600)] <dd_> ok, i'll take a look

[12:08:06 CST(-0600)] <dd_> on another note, is there a known problem with using RSS feeds in the calendar portlet (v1.0)?

[12:08:17 CST(-0600)] <dd_> when i try to do it, it fails because it can't find an end date

[12:10:42 CST(-0600)] <dd_> it fails at line 280 here: http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.jasig.portlet/CalendarPortlet/1.0.0-GA/org/jasig/portlet/calendar/mvc/controller/AjaxCalendarController.java#280

[12:11:35 CST(-0600)] <athena> based on your email thread, it sounds like that's true

[12:11:46 CST(-0600)] <athena> you might try the previous release rather than the one you're using

[12:12:03 CST(-0600)] <athena> think that's related to some recent refactoring for handling particular time zone configurations w/ all-day events

[12:12:14 CST(-0600)] <athena> to be honest, i don't think anyone really uses the RSS adapter anymore

[12:12:29 CST(-0600)] <athena> most RSS feeds don't have event times available

[12:12:38 CST(-0600)] <athena> most people use the portlet to read iCal feeds

[12:12:49 CST(-0600)] <athena> you're welcome to file a bug in JIRA

[12:14:06 CST(-0600)] <dd_> that's what i figured, thanks
