CalendarExtras adds some features to the Calendar to help with organizing events.
The different features are separated into their own lua files, if you don't want something enabled for some reason then just remove/rename the file.
Wowace project here.
I made this addon originally for a guildie, but seeing as there aren't exactly many Calendar related addons around I figured others might find some use for it too.
And if there's anything else that really bugs you about the Calendar, add a comment/ticket and I'll see if it's something that could be added.
Features
Sorting by role
Adds fourth sorting method to the create/view event windows, that lets you sort the invite-list by role (Tank/healer/DPS).
People of the same role are hardcoded to first be sorted by status and lastly by name.
You can change roles by right-clicking the player in question and selecting the bottom option Set Role
Export invitees
Adds a small tab at the bottom of the create/view event windows which pops up an editbox which you can copy a formatted list of the invited players from.
A small editbox is included to set the format of each line. Valid tokens are: NAME, LEVEL, CLASS, STATUS, MOD and %t for tab
Mass-select
Select multiple people from the invite-list like you would in any standard GUI. Use shift/ctrl to range/add-to select. All the right-click menu options apply to all the selected players

Lots of changes under the hood, trying to polish the code a bit and make it a bit more compatible with other addons, no actual functionality has changed for now.
The addon is now split in two, the core addon and the modules, this was the easiest way to make sure things load and happen in the right order.

Mass-select: Fixing the highlighting to hide/unhide properly on single selections, and add an underlining to indicate the "main" selection... not sure what to call it.

list_status_online: Add LibAlts support.
If a player who is in the list is on an alt, there will be a tooltip text noting that, and new context menu entry for whispering to that alt.
No interface to assign alts and mains at the moment, so this won't work unless you have Prat/AltsMains/etc installed

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
