Item8548: Update plugin to use Foswiki preferences instead of plugin topic settings

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Enhancement	Closed	Extension	HolidaylistPlugin

It looks like this plugin still uses old-style topic settings instead of Foswiki preferences. I thought it might be merely a documentation issue but the Holidaylist.pm module does not appear to set $NO_PREFS_IN_TOPIC so it probably really is still using the older method.

Working on modernising this plugin. I'm also making sure it can be used with CalDAVPlugin.

Daniel, I know you prefer to maintain a TWiki version. Note that a TWiki release of any Foswiki plugin that is build using BuildContrib can be generated as follows:

$ cd HolidaylistPlugin/lib/Foswiki/Plugins/HolidaylistPlugin
$ perl build.pl twiki
$ cd ../../../TWiki/Plugins/HolidaylistPlugin
$ perl build.pl release

As long as the plugin doesn't use any non-portable APIs, that is.
