Hello Greig
Yes - it would be easier if we could post images and links much easier - but I think that it is blocked because of the persons that tries to sell "I listed some products that blocked my post" and other things or services.
Could you anyway supply a link to your calendar.
You could send a message via the "contact us". It could maybe also be useful for Roel to know which calendar version and PHP version you are using.
Hello Olivier
Regarding your 2. suggestion about the 2 subcategories :
As there is already 4 subcategories available for each category - what do you exactly mean?
Do you mean that you want 6????
Or was you not aware of the 4 existing subcategories???
or did you mean something completely different???
*** After installation of the "new" calendar, you have to change the url to your calendar.
It is one of the first settings : Calendar URL
Take a look here : http://calendarforum.dk/moving-migrating.html
Could you please supply us with a screenshot of the settings for the category?
If you wonder why the upgrade instructions is not as simple and quick as I describe then it is because :
In case you have some program files you have edited to have a new behaviour or some help files you have customized or some language files you have customized, then the changes you have made in the files will be lost by the method I described.
But all changes you do the "normal" way in the calendar will NOT be lost. It is only changes you make manual in a php-file with an external editor as notepad++.
If you have data you want to remain in the calendar you should :
Take a backup of the database or ( better ) the whole installation ( luxcalendar folders on the server ) should be copied to your PC ( in case something goes wrong ) .
When this is done, then you simply install the version 4.7.7 "over" the 4.7.6 ( make a full upload of the 4.7.7 with "overwrite" )
The first time you then start the calendar it tells you that it is upgraded - and that is it.
Upgrading this way takes seconds - 20 seconds to download the installation ( this is just in case.. ) and 20 seconds to upload the new installation "on top" of the old.
Installation of the sqlite version takes seconds to install and seconds to upgrade. The beauty in the sqlite installation is that you have it all in the installation - easy to install, upgrade and eventually move to another server - all this takes seconds
If you only have testdata in your 4.7.6 then you could remove the whole installation and make a new installation with the 4.7.7
If you make an upgrade the side panel is not automatic set - you have to do this in settings.
If it is a new installation the side panel is set to be shown ( this is the default by new installation ).
Just for information - a new version of the calendar is released today.
You should consider installing this version.
If you only have testdata until now, then it will be easy to upgrade by installing the new version over the "old" version.
The calendar will then automatic do an upgrade the first time you use the calendar - or you could remove the "old" and install the new.
The minisquares takes color from what you have specified for the category.
In the categories you can specify background and foreground (text) colors.
It can also for a category be specified if the background color should be for the whole day.
This way you can have the whole day in year and matrix view have the background color.
Maybe you have to look in the php.ini and see the settings for SQLite - but I think we now need help from an expert.
I guess Roel will guide you to a solution.
Please try this : ( SQLite version )
1 - Create a new subdirectory.
2 - In this subdirectory upload the unzipped version of the calendar.
3 - In your browser "open" the subdirectory.
4 - You should be asked for a name you want for the admin, an email, and a wanted password.
Then/now your calendar should be ready for use. You should NOT have a need for the lctools.php??????
If one or more of the 1- 4 gives an error message then please tell.
It should not. I have installed the calendar ( SQLite version ) many times and on different servers/ISP's - and have never seen an error when installing a non-beta version.
**** IMPORTANT
Forgot to mention - if you migrate, then the system you are migrating from, and the system you are migrating to, should be the same version number.
You could upgrade to the newest version before migrating, or you could check the version you are currently running, and then contact Roel via the contact-page. I think he can supply an older version of the system, if you want to migrate to the same version as you have now.
If you ( or other users ) consider to shift to SQLite, then you can also "move" your existing data.
Here : http://calendarforum.dk/shift-database.html you can see how.
The MySQL is only for those who have special needs or have really really many data. If you have a daily amount of more than 5000 events, and/or more than 10.000 users, then the MySQL is recommended.
A tip :
You could make copies of the display2 - could be disp2fred, disp2greg, disp2julia - or whatever names you give them.
Then julia could have the display disp2julia set up on her mobile. And Fred could have disp2fred.
Then the disp2(name) should be filtered on users.
This require that the users themselve create events, or the admin/manager sets the ownership of the event( when created/edited ) to the user.
The sales people could also have a display where all users is shown.
Then they will have two displays - one with only their own events, and another where they can see all.
But as i don't know how you use your calendar, then my tip is only a guess on, what could be useful.
@Bwaikel
In the General settings in Display2, you have the $evtBody =
Here you can insert a list of event fields to show.
1: Venue field
2: Event category field
3: Description field
4: Extra field 1
5: extra field 2
6: Email notification data
7: Date/time added/edited and the associated user(s).
8: Attached pdf, image or video files as hyperlinks.
The order of the numbers should determine the order of the displayed fields.
If it does not function as expected, or if this was not what you meant, then make a new post.
In settings you set the : Default User interface language.
See also here : http://calendarforum.dk/navigation-bar.html
It is also possible to "call" the calendar with parameters. The parameter for language is : cL - Example cL=Francais
The language file you choose must be present in the language folder.
A logon should not be required if you checked the "Remember me".
Did you check this option by login?
If the "Remember me" is not checked by login, then a new login is required when the session expires and you did not "reactivate". It is made for security reasons, I think, and is quite normal.
If you DID check the "Remember me" and still need a new login, then something is not functioning as it should - then maybe some more information. What happens when session times out? Do you see any messages?
Be aware that after the first post in this thread, there has been new releases.
Please read the documentation for the release you have installed - there could have been changes for the SSO.
cP should be 31 / 32
BUT - in the newest versions, it seems that it is not possible any more, to specify an eventID.
Hello tssweene
You could use index.php?cP=30&eid=2957 if you want to edit and index.php?cP=31&eid=2957 if you want only to show.
Please try and tell if this was what you are looking for.
Hello fbonani
You can use a parameter for that.
If you specify a URL like this : http://www.yoursite.dk/yourcalendarfold … x.php?cP=7
Then you should see the upcoming events.
See more about parameters here : http://calendarforum.dk/installation.html
BUT - you could also use the display1. With this you can have images shown, and if you after the image-name specify a URL, then the image will be clickable and clicking the image will bring you to the URL.
This is not possible today. It would require a very short interval for the cronjob, and not all providers allows this.
If a SMS would be fine, then you could post a suggestion that there could be a minutes setting for the SMS. Then, when the cronjob that runs at night meet an event that is scheduled at the same day and marked for SMS - then there is sent an SMS with a specified time for sending ( xx minutes before the event takes place ) . Then the SMS provider will take over and the provider will send the SMS at the specified time. This way you could have a reminder close to the time for the event.
Or maybe a special cronjob that should run very very often and look for events to be sent as reminders ( sms and/or mail). There should be some logic that checks that an event is sent close to the start-time for the event - and only once.
I think you should post a suggestion for this, as it could be a useful feature. As I remember it has been discussed before, but I think it is a tricky one, and it should not bring problems in the existing mail/sms functions.
Make a suggestion and then it could be discussed - I think.
Hello Daric
In the 4.7.5 there is a setting ( views ) in settings (for thumbnails).
Show images in month view __
If this is checked then the images will be shown in month view. Nothing will be shown when hovering.
If unchecked then images will not be shown - but will be shown when event is hovered.
All your "old" thumbnails or manually uploaded thumbnails is treated as "other thumbnails" in the new thumbnails routine.
If you in the routine upload new thumbnails , then the system will know what user uploaded the thumbnails, and will then treat the thumbnails according to the rules set up for the user.
Hope this is helpful for you
Hello Sigmark
You are probably aware that you can set a category for approval. You can then on the usergroup set only categories that are marked for approval available for the user group.
I know this is not exactly what you ask for. This could result in many categories needed to be created.
Is what you ask for this :
Possibility to set on a usergroup : events need approval.
Then - when a user belonging to a user group, where this is checked, then ALL events this user creates, will need approval.
A user belonging to a user group where the need-approval is NOT checked, will only create events that needs approval when the category says so ( like today ).
About the language :
Try to uncheck the : Restore last user selections in the user-account section in settings
You could also or instead check the : Language in the navigation section in settings. Then you will in options, be able to select between languages
