Hello Greg,
If on the Settings page, in the section "Reminders", under "Email", the "Add 'Reply to' field to email" is checked, then notification emails will have the "Reply to" field set to the originator of the event.
Isn't that what you are looking for?

Hi there,
On the admin's Settings page, in the section Views, go to "Side panel in calendar views" and for the Info area specify on which pages you want the info to be shown.
Then copy the file "sidepanel/samples/info.txt" to the sidepanel folder (so one level up) and thereafter you will have the demo texts in the side panel.
In the header of the info.txt file it is explained how to show info messages for certain periods.

That's great!

You're saying you can "echo it to the page", but to what page? Can you echo it in a test script running in the calendar iframe?

in the side menu go to the Users page and edit the Public access user and put this user in the group "No access".
Roel

Oops, yes, I forgot that the sidebar is suppressed automatically on narrow displays, or narrow iframes.
Simply because it would leave insufficient space for the calendar.
Roel

The problem is that in this case your application and the calendar are not in the same domain and the PHP session with the user name or email address is not accessible by the calendar.
I have no ready-made solution for this. I will think about it and when I have a bright idea, I will come back here shortly.

Whether a user logs in via SSO or via the calendar Log In page doesn't make any difference; the functionality is exactly the same.
What do you mean by "I have all three of those options checked"? There are no check boxes for these options. For each option you have to enter a comma-separated list of page numbers on which you want to see the side bar options.
Send me a screenshot of your settings by email (via the Contact Us page), or send me the URL of your calendar with a temporary admin user account.

Hi there,
On the admin's Settings page, in the section Views, there is an item "Side panel in calendar views" (5th from the bottom) where you can specify for the three possible side panel elements on which calendar pages they should be shown. You can find details in the admin_guide.html file.

Hi there,

Re 1. The calendar has a simple Single Sign On (SSO) possibility, which allows for user authentication outside the calendar. It is described in the installation_guide.html - the very last last section. There is however no setting to disable the calendar Log On function. But a little bit of PHP knowledge can do wonders.
Re 2. Assigning colors to users is currently not possible, however, you can assign colors to user groups on the User Group page. Thereafter on the Settings page, in the section Events, you can select that in the calendar views the event title background color is displayed in the user group color, rather than in the event category color.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Once on the category page you have checked the "Check mark" for a certain event category, events in this category will become "todo" events and will get a checkbox in front of their title in the various calendar views. As long as the event's checkbox has not been checked, it will appear in the Todo list.

Hi Bill,
That's a very good suggestion, I like it! So, yes, I will add an option to specify a footnote text for reminder emails.
Where would you like this footnote to go? At the end of the email message, just below the "Open calendar" link?

Send me your email address (via the Contact Us page) and you will be the first to have this feature wink

Hey Stefan,
bdjor is right!
So if you don't want to upgrade to calendar version 5.1.0, in the file "common/toolbox.php" on lines 25, 27 and 29 you should replace the variables $rxCalURL, $rxPhone and $rxIMGTags by the same variables of the same file in calendar version 5.1.0.

Hi Greg,

On the Settings page in the Reminders section it is possible to specify the maximum number of recipients per email. When there are more recipients in the list, the calendar will break down the recipients list and send several emails, each with the specified maximum number.
However, unfortunately these staggered emails are send one after each other without delay in between.
The problem is that in PHP it is not possible to program a delay of 30 minutes. There is a "sleep" function, but it cannot sleep longer than the maximum execution time of the PHP script, which is normally some 30 seconds.
At the moment I don't see a simple solution.
How many emails do you have to send in total? And within how much time?

Ok, I see Ross.
Default the RSS feeds are enabled, if they are, you don't need to go to the Settings page.
If needed, you can get the Settings page by adding ?cP=80 to the calendar URL.
Could you send me a link to your calendar (via the Contact Us page).

Hi Doss,
This problem was never reported before. Many calendar users, including myself, are using PHP 7.4 and the latest calendar version 5.1.0 is compatible with PHP 7.4.
I'm sure warnings 2-5 are caused by warning 1.

The cookie path in the file index.php (warning 1) is directly coming from the PHP variable $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] and therefore should not contain any invalid characters.
I had a look at the calendar source code and saw the cookie path is 100% identical to the RSS feed path of the calendar, without the suffix "/rssfeed . . . .".
So could you please make sure that on the Settings page, in the section general the RSS feed links (3rd from the bottom) is checked, and then hover with your mouse over the RSS button in the left lower corner of the calendar and let me know the link that pops up.

Once we know that this link is OK, we will take it from there.

Hi Rarmy,

Re. PDF, currently only A4 is possible.
Send me your email address (via the Contact Us page) and I will produce a "letter" version and send it to you.

Hi there,

Yes, that's possible.
When you add or edit an event, in the Add/Edit Event window, in the Send mail section, you can check the Send mail "now" checkbox and add the email address(es) in the To field".
Now when you save the event, a notification email will be sent to the recipients.

When you have a cron job specified on your server, you can also send the users an automatic email notification a specified number of days before the event is due.

If you need help let me know.
Roel

Hi Nicole,

Yes, these are the difficult ones to program wink
I'm sure almost every country has some special days depending on an other event. But programming all these special cases ain't easy.

I like your second one "the first Friday after each Full Moon". In this case I should build in a request to "www.farmersalmanac.com/full-moon-dates-and-times".

I doubt if many calendars have possibilities for these special recurring days.

Hi there,

I didn't know that an email address with a 1-character local part is valid. But you are right, it is!
To solve this, edit the file "common/toolbox.php" and on lines 13 - 17 (lines starting with $rxEmail, $rxEmailX and $rxEML) search for "2,40" and replace this by "1,40".

Hi there,
The log error is not a calendar error message, but a PHP error message and it means that the database driver is unavailable in the PHP installation (which is rather unusual).
I assume you are trying to install the latest calendar version: LuxCal 510
I assume you get this message during the calendar installation phase.
Are you trying to install the MySQL or the SQLite version of the calendar?
In the luxcal510X-toolbox.zip file you will find a file called "serverphpinfo.php"; could you upload this file to the calendar root folder on your server and send me the link (URL) to this file by email (via the  Contact Us page), so that I can have a look at your PHP installation.
