1# DokuWiki Calendar Plugin — Project History
2
3**Version 6.6.0** — Complete development history from v1.0 through v6.6.0.

5---
6
7## Origins (v1.0–v4.x)
8
9The Calendar Plugin started as a basic DokuWiki calendar allowing users to add, edit, and delete events on specific dates within wiki pages. Events were stored as JSON files in DokuWiki's `data/meta/calendar/` directory, organized by month (`YYYY-MM.json`). Early versions established the core architecture: a `syntax.php` parser for `{{calendar}}` wiki markup, an `action.php` AJAX handler for event CRUD operations, and a `style.css` for layout.
10
11Key milestones in the early versions included namespace support (events scoped to wiki namespaces), multi-day events, task/checkbox support, event descriptions with wiki markup rendering, and a basic admin panel for management.

15## v5.0–v5.4: Feature Expansion
16
17### Sidebar Widget & Event Lists
18- `{{eventlist sidebar}}` — compact week-grid widget for DokuWiki sidebars showing today, tomorrow, and upcoming events
19- `{{eventpanel}}` — standalone scrollable event list
20- `{{eventlist range=N}}` — upcoming events for the next N days
21- `{{eventlist compact}}` — minimal event listing
22
23### Recurring Events
24- Events can be marked as recurring with a `recurring: true` flag and `recurringId`
25- Admin panel section for viewing and managing recurring series
26
27### Outlook Sync
28- Two-way sync with Microsoft Outlook calendars via `sync_outlook.php`
29- OAuth2 authentication flow, configurable sync intervals
30- Admin configuration panel for credentials and sync settings
31
32### Conflict Detection
33- Overlapping events on the same date/time flagged with ⚠️ badge
34- Tooltip showing conflicting event details
35
36### Admin Panel
37- Full admin interface at Admin → Calendar Management
38- Tabs: Overview, Settings, Manage, Sync, About
39- Event statistics, namespace management, import/export, cleanup tools
40
41---
42
43## v5.5–v5.5.x: CSS Refactor
44
45Complete refactoring of the styling system from hardcoded colors to CSS custom properties (variables). Introduced the semantic color system with variables like `--text-primary`, `--text-bright`, `--text-dim`, `--bg-main`, `--cell-bg`, `--cell-today-bg`, `--border-main`, `--border-color`, etc. This laid the groundwork for the theming system.

48
49## v6.0.0: GitHub Publication & Theme System
50
51### Five Visual Themes
521. **Matrix** — Dark background, bright green text, green glow effects, monospace feel
532. **Purple** — Dark background, purple accents, violet glow
543. **Pink** — Dark background, hot pink accents, heart today indicator with pulse animation, firework button hover effects
554. **Professional** — Clean light theme, blue accents, no glow
565. **Wiki** — Inherits colors from the active DokuWiki template (reads `__text__`, `__background__`, `__link__`, `__border__`, etc. from `tpl_style.ini`)
57
58### Theme Architecture
59- PHP reads theme setting from `calendar_theme.txt`
60- `getThemeStyles()` returns a color array per theme
61- CSS variables injected inline into calendar, sidebar, and eventlist containers
62- Wiki theme dynamically reads DokuWiki template style variables at render time
63

65
66## v6.0.1–v6.0.9: Text, Badge & Glow Theming
67
68Progressive theming of every UI element:
69
70- **v6.0.1–v6.0.3**: Header text, day numbers, event titles, meta text, descriptions all converted from hardcoded colors to CSS variables
71- **v6.0.4–v6.0.5**: Event panel (clicked-day detail view) fully themed — header, event items, descriptions, time displays, action buttons
72- **v6.0.6**: Calendar header month/year, month picker, event list items, completed/past event states, scrollbars, namespace filter indicator
73- **v6.0.7**: All badges (TODAY, namespace, conflict ⚠️), conflict tooltips, month picker buttons, header hover states
74- **v6.0.8**: Links themed with `.cal-link` class, text glow consistency across dark themes, pink glow intensity toned down
75- **v6.0.9**: Form input text visibility on dark themes, cell hover effects, button hover/active states, glow values fine-tuned
76
77---
78
79## v6.1.0–v6.1.6: Interactive Elements & Dark Reader
80
81- **v6.1.0**: Today indicator (filled circle like Google Calendar), themed button hover/click with brightness filters, custom checkbox styling with theme accent colors, form input placeholder text
82- **v6.1.1**: Complete CSS variable audit — 41 remaining hardcoded colors converted
83- **v6.1.2–v6.1.5**: Section header theming (Today/Tomorrow/Important), semantic color variables (`--pastdue-color`, `--tomorrow-bg`), pink heart today indicator and firework effects, all-theme checkbox glow
84- **v6.1.6**: System tooltips themed using `style.setProperty` with `!important`
85
86---
87
88## v6.2.0–v6.2.6: Dark Reader Compatibility
89
90The Dark Reader browser extension was aggressively overriding theme colors, making dark themes unreadable. The solution evolved through several approaches:
91
92- **v6.2.0–v6.2.1**: Initial Dark Reader protection attempts using meta tags and `data-darkreader-mode`
93- **v6.2.2–v6.2.6**: Final approach — targeted inline `!important` styles and `-webkit-text-fill-color` overrides on specific elements. No page-wide locks, no filter manipulation. Protected: section headers, badges, event text, day numbers, nav buttons, status bars, tooltips, color indicator bars
94- Wiki theme intentionally left unlocked so Dark Reader can adjust it (since wiki theme is already light-friendly)
95
96---
97
98## v6.3.0: Consolidated Dark Reader Release
99
100Merged all Dark Reader compatibility work into a single stable release. Full protection for all three dark themes across calendar, sidebar widget, and eventlist. Wiki theme headers/badges unlocked for Dark Reader mapping.
101
102---
103
104## v6.3.1–v6.3.9: Wiki Theme Refinement
105
106Fine-tuning the Wiki theme to correctly inherit DokuWiki template colors:
107
108- **v6.3.1**: Eventlist containers receive theme class and CSS variable injection
109- **v6.3.2**: Fixed caching — added `$renderer->nocache()` so theme changes take effect immediately
110- **v6.3.3**: Section header text uses template's `__text__` instead of hardcoded white
111- **v6.3.4**: Border/accent color remapping — `border` maps to `__border__`, `text_bright` to `__link__`
112- **v6.3.5**: Allowed Dark Reader to freely adjust wiki theme headers
113- **v6.3.6–v6.3.7**: Checkbox border color from template's `__border__`, fixed shorthand override
114- **v6.3.8**: Button and section header colors from template palette
115- **v6.3.9**: Section bar fallback color fix
116
117---
118
119## v6.4.0–v6.4.4: Wiki Theme Polish
120
121- **v6.4.0**: Section bar uses `background` div instead of `border-left` so Dark Reader maps colors identically
122- **v6.4.1**: Event highlight uses template's `__background_alt__` instead of hardcoded blue
123- **v6.4.2–v6.4.3**: Day headers (SMTWTFS) use `__background_neu__` and `__text__`
124- **v6.4.4**: Past events toggle background uses `__background_neu__`
125
126---
127
128## v6.4.5: Admin Version History Overhaul
129
130- Replaced all purple accents with green in the version history viewer
131- Enhanced changelog parser to handle `###` subsection headers and plain bullets
132- Added "Current Release" button that jumps to the card matching the running version
133- Running version card shows green "RUNNING" badge
134
135---
136
137## v6.4.6: Recurring Events Rescan & Detection Improvements
138
139- Added green "�� Rescan" button to refresh recurring events table via AJAX
140- Rewrote detection logic: two-phase approach (flagged events first, then pattern detection)
141- New "Source" column: ��️ Flagged vs �� Detected
142- Median interval for robust pattern detection (Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-annual, Yearly, custom)
143- Recursive namespace scanning, date deduplication, alphabetical sorting
144
145---
146
147## v6.4.7: Recurring Events Management Controls
148
149Added an orange "Manage" button per series opening a comprehensive dialog with five operations:
150
1511. **�� Extend Series** — Add N future occurrences at a chosen interval, using the last event as a template
1522. **✂️ Trim Past Events** — Remove occurrences before a cutoff date
1533. **�� Change Pattern** — Respace future events to a new interval (past untouched)
1544. **�� Change Start Date** — Shift all occurrences by offset between old and new start
1555. **⏸ Pause/Resume** — Toggle ⏸ prefix on future events
156
157All operations are AJAX-powered with inline status messages.
158
159---
160
161## v6.4.8–v6.4.9: Bug Fixes
162
163- **v6.4.8**: Fixed PHP parse error — JS template literals (`${...}`) inside PHP echo blocks caused parse failures. Rewrote manage dialog using string concatenation.
164- **v6.4.9**: Fixed recurring edit/delete returning "0 changes" — root cause was directory path mismatch between event's namespace field and filesystem location. Both handlers now search ALL calendar directories recursively via `findCalendarDirs()`.
165
166---
167
168## v6.5.0–v6.5.1: Bulk Trim All Past Recurring
169
170- Red "✂️ Trim All Past" button in recurring events section header
171- Removes all past recurring event occurrences across every namespace in one click
172- Only events with `recurring` or `recurringId` flag are removed
173- Dry-run count shown in confirmation dialog before deletion
174
175---
176
177## v6.5.2–v6.5.6: Namespace Cleanup & AJAX Routing Fix
178
179- **v6.5.2**: "�� Cleanup" button to remove empty namespace calendar folders
180  - Dry-run scan shows exactly what will be removed
181  - Removes empty calendar directories and empty parent namespace directories
182  - Root calendar directory is never removed
183- **v6.5.3–v6.5.4**: Fixed PHP parse errors caused by unescaped single quotes in JS within PHP echo blocks. Added `adminColors` JS object for theme-aware runtime colors.
184- **v6.5.5**: Fixed "Unknown action" error — AJAX calls route through `action.php`, not `admin.php`. Added `routeToAdmin()` bridge in `action.php` and public `handleAjaxAction()` in `admin.php`. Moved cleanup button inline next to "➕ New Namespace".
185- **v6.5.6**: Cleanup results now display as standard message banner at page top instead of inline. Fixed button text flash.
186

188
189## v6.6.0: Package Cleanup
190
191- Removed all auxiliary documentation files (.md/.txt) except README.md
192- Consolidated project history into this document
193- Clean package containing only essential plugin files
