- Broaden scheduler query window to next N days for proper recurring event expansion (scheduler.py)
- Update DB connection logic for consistent .env loading and fallback (database.py)
- Harden timezone handling and logging in scheduler and DB utils
- Stop auto-deactivating recurring events before recurrence_end (API/events)
- Update documentation to reflect new scheduler, API, and logging behavior
README: Add System Settings API endpoints; describe new tabbed Settings layout with role gating; add Vite dev proxy tip to use relative /api paths.
Copilot instructions: Note SystemSetting key–value store in data model; document system_settings.py (CRUD + supplement-table convenience endpoint); reference apiSystemSettings.ts; note defaults seeding via init_defaults.py.
Program Info: Bump version to 2025.1.0-alpha.11; changelog explicitly tied to the Settings page (Events tab: supplement-table URL moved; Academic Calendar: set active period; proxy note); README docs mention.
No functional changes to API or UI code in this commit; documentation and program info only.
Dashboard
Add top-right user dropdown using Syncfusion DropDownButton: shows username + role; menu entries “Profil” and “Abmelden”.
Replace custom dropdown logic with Syncfusion component; position at header’s right edge.
Update /logout page to call backend logout and redirect to /login (reliable user switching).
Build/Config
Add @syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons and @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons dependencies.
Update Vite optimizeDeps.include to pre-bundle splitbuttons and avoid import-analysis errors.
Docs
README: Rework Architecture Overview with clearer data flow:
Listener consumes MQTT (discovery/heartbeats) and updates API.
Scheduler reads from API and publishes events via MQTT to clients.
Clients send via MQTT and receive via MQTT.
Worker receives commands directly from API and reports results back (no MQTT).
Explicit note: MariaDB is accessed exclusively by the API Server; Dashboard never talks to DB directly.
README: Add SplitButtons to “Syncfusion Components Used”; add troubleshooting steps for @syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons import issues (optimizeDeps + volume reset).
Copilot instructions: Document header user menu and splitbuttons technical notes (deps, optimizeDeps, dev-container node_modules volume).
Program info
Bump to 2025.1.0-alpha.10 with changelog:
UI: Header user menu (DropDownButton with username/role; Profil/Abmelden).
Frontend: Syncfusion SplitButtons integration + Vite pre-bundling config.
Fix: Added README guidance for splitbuttons import errors.
No breaking changes.
- Documented unified deletion process for single, single-in-series, and recurring series events
- Explained custom dialog interception of Syncfusion RecurrenceAlert and DeleteAlert
- Updated both README.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md to match current frontend logic
- Add detach functionality for individual occurrences of recurring events
- Create POST /api/events/<id>/occurrences/<date>/detach endpoint
- Implement EventException-based EXDATE generation for master events
- Add user confirmation dialog for single vs series editing choice
- Implement manual recurrence expansion with DST timezone tolerance
- Support FREQ=DAILY and FREQ=WEEKLY with BYDAY patterns and UNTIL dates
- Create standalone events from detached occurrences without affecting master series
- Add GET /api/events/<id> endpoint for fetching master event data
- Allow editing recurring series even when master event date is in the past
- Replace browser confirm dialogs with Syncfusion dialog components
- Remove debug logging while preserving error handling
- Update documentation for recurring event functionality
BREAKING: Frontend now manually expands recurring events instead of relying on Syncfusion's EXDATE handling
This enables users to edit individual occurrences of recurring events (creating standalone events)
or edit the entire series (updating all future occurrences) through an intuitive UI workflow.
The system properly handles timezone transitions, holiday exclusions, and complex recurrence patterns.
Backend: generate EventException on create/update when skip_holidays or recurrence changes; emit RecurrenceException (EXDATE) with exact occurrence start time (UTC)
API: return master events with RecurrenceRule + RecurrenceException
Frontend: map RecurrenceException → recurrenceException; ensure SkipHolidays instances never render on holidays; place TentTree icon (black) next to main event icon via template
Docs: update README and Copilot instructions for recurrence/holiday behavior
Cleanup: remove dataSource and debug console logs
Replace placeholder clone URL with actual repo URL:
https://github.com/RobbStarkAustria/infoscreen_2025.git
Add first-run step to initialize the database using the one-shot script:
python server/initialize_database.py
Mention initialize_database.py in project structure
Add a one-shot DB init command to the “Database Management” section
Update Copilot instructions:
Prefer initialize_database.py for local dev (migrations + defaults + academic periods)
Note legacy init scripts were removed; use Alembic + initialize_database.py going forward
No runtime/code changes; documentation only
