by any chance: is this app working yet? Test possible on NC20?

Dear mziech, is this app working yet? can I test this on an NC20 install?

Sadly I am no developer, but I can try to test the app and debug it...

Yours.

Hi @aheider ,

well it was working for me last Friday on Nextcloud 20.

While sending the newsletter is working pretty smoothly, the configuration UI is a bit outdated. Therefore, and due to the absence of test, I refrained from going through the hoops for a Nextcloud App Store release so.

Since installation is a bit more difficult without the app store, I added short guide to the README and a release-build now.

Hope that helps!

Great, thanks! I tried it and it works for me. However, in what format do I fill thos fields:

That is, for time to first entry, time to last entry, format for first/second row, and regular expression for description?

For the time interval I tried "1", "1 day", "1 d", "1 Tag". But that did not work...

Thank you so much.

Cool, glad that it works!

The timestamps need to be specified in ISO "period" format (not really obvious but it was the easiest one to parse in the backend), e.g. P30D for 30 days.

Shell-like ${...} placeholders are used for the format rows per appointment.

Possible placeholders are:

• ${startDate} - the start day of the event
• ${endDate} - the end day of the event
• ${dateTimeRange} - a data time range for the event, omitting the end date if it is the same day
• ${dateRange} - a date range (without time) if the event spans multiple days, start date other wise
• ${summary} - the title line of the event
• ${description} - the complete description body of the event
• ${0} ... ${n} - if the regular expression contains placeholders, they can be addressed by just their number
• ${item.XYZ} - for a line in the description starting like XYZ: something, this would contain something
• ${*} - outputs all known placeholders as JSON for debugging

Additionally filters can be applied to each placeholder value like ${...|filter1|filter2}. The following filters are known:

• ${...|badge} will put each line of the value in square brackets
• ${...|pipe} will separate the lines of the value by a pipe |
• ${...|slash} will separate the lines of the value by a slash /
• ${...|nl} will separate the lines of the value by a newline
• ${...|dash} will separate the lines of the value by a newline and a dash -
• ${...|dash2} will separate the lines of the value by a newline and a double dash --
• ${...|dash3} will separate the lines of the value by a newline and a triple dash ---

If a placeholder cannot be resolved, a fallback can be specified using the colon charater :, otherwise the value will be empty. E.g. ${a:b:c} would output the value of b if a is undefined or c if a and b are undefined.

works as advertised. Thanks!
