EventRecur 2.0 for Plone 2.5 (sort of)

Okay, I’ve printed this code off from an intranet environment nearly two years ago now. I’ve tried retyping it once or twice and never quite gotten it working right. I’ve lost those files but still have the originals. I’ve noticed the Plone Calendaring Sprint coming up in Boston that I can’t attend due to fundage and not being able to have work off; however, I still want to contribute the work that Larry Lay and I put into Plone recurring events years ago. The code took a lot of thought as far as recurrence, and although we didn’t need to worry about iCal support due to intranet restrictions or things of that nature it supports all the basic functionality in some pretty simple code and a lot of the code should be reusable. Hopefully it can help minimize some of the efforts with recurrence for the new Plone4Artists efforts.
Anyway, here I present, to anyone who has more free time and motivation than me, the status quo of EventRecur 2.0 for Plone 2.5. I have no clue how much work this would take to work with Plone 3 (sorry). However, within Plone 2.5 it extends the existing Event content type to add on additional fields and make recurrence happen through a single object rather than replicating tons of event types throughout the date range provided.
There are no screenshots just 25 pages of code and notes. Good luck to all in their efforts. This is something that Plone has needed for a long time.

IE 8 Beta 1 supporting “Super Standards” Mode!!!

I don’t even know where to begin besides quickly _hoping_ that my job as a web developer will be considerably easier in another 2 to 5 years (once everyone finally gets around to upgrading). Of course this depends upon what Microsoft considers “Super Standards.” For all we know they could still be in “standards mode” but still mess up spacing in padding and margins enough that we’ll still be coding hacks for IE8 just as much as we did for IE7 (which is exponentially less than IE6 was coded/hacked for).
Anyway, I’ll encourage ANYONE who still uses IE to go ahead and try out IE 8 beta 1. Although, if you’re trying a new browser, I’d still recommend Firefox 3 beta 3 before IE 8 any day ;)
Here’s to hoping for an all-major-browsers compliant with standards society!
