In this new LuxCal version 5.3.4 you will only a few minor new features. This version is released because there were a number of bug which have been solved. Furthermore some some technical issues have been addressed, which will improve the stability of the calendar software.
This LuxCal version has been tested with PHP 8.4.
>>>> FOR THIS VERSION THE MINIMUM PHP VERSION REQUIRED IS 7 <<<<

And as usual some last minute issues have been found by John from Denmark, the best beta-tester of the universe, who always helps to make the LuxCal Web Calendar a better product. Thank you John!

Hereafter you will find a full summary of all changes since the previous LuxCal version 5.3.3.

New features / improvements
• On the User Profile page and the Edit Users page the eye symbol has been added to the password fields.
• On the Event, Day marker, Search, CleanUp and Event File Export pages, the date input fields, which are initially blank, now contain a placeholder showing the date format to be used.
• On the administrator Settings page the header with the Save Settings button has now been excluded from the scroll area, so that the Save Settings button remains always visible.

Technical issues
• The Message-ID field containing the event ID has been added to the email headers. This can be useful when troubleshooting the sending of emails.
• The dmark scripts still contained code which was related to processing of normal events, which however was not relevant for day markers. The redundant code has been removed from the scripts.
• When the hit/bot counter is read from the file, it's directly converted to an integer. This resolves a PHP deprecate warning.
• In the fields title, venue and text1-3 HTML tags which are not closed are annulled by adding a closing tag directly following the opening tag.
• Before using the event title in an email subject field and the event title and venue in SMS messages, possible HTML tags are removed.
• In the Add/Edit Event window in the help (red ?) text for the description fields, the image description was only shown when on the Settings page "Show images in month view" was checked. Images can always be added, so they should always be mentioned in the help text.

Bug fixes
• The ITtoDT function returned a blank time when the time started with a '9'. See V5.3.3 - Technical issues no. 17. Ok for dates, but not for times. The test should be: when the time starts with '99'.
• Double quote ( " ) missing in the Danish language file at the end of line 253.
• When the page "Changes" is selected and changed events are found, PHP error messages appear in the background of the page. Because on lines 105 - 107 the variable name $evt has accidentally been replaced by $row.
• When at the start of the retrieve function the filter is built and a selection on one or more event categories has to be made, the category sequence number was used, rather than the category ID. If on the administrators Category page the category sequence numbers have been changed and in the option panel one or several event categories were selected this led to the display of wrong events in the calendar views.
• When editing one occurrence of a recurring day marker, and SQL error occurred because of a "notify" field in the SQL statement, while for day markers notifications are not relevant.
• When upgrading from calendar V5.1 or V5.2, the sub-categories were not copied to the 5.3 database. Bug in upgrade function solved.
• When producing PDF files, day markers were not displayed correctly. The text and background colors were not applied correctly and <b> tags were present in the title.

When the Changes page is selected and changed events are found, a list with PHP error messages appears in the background of the page.

This can be solved as follows:
• Edit the file "common/retrievc.php and on lines 105, 106 and 107 replace $row by $evt. Ten times!

So lines 105 - 107 should look like:

      $evt['ald'] = ($evt['sti'] == '00:00' and $evt['eti'] == '23:59');
      $evt['ntm'] = ($evt['sti'] == '00:00' and $evt['eti'] == '00:00');
      if ($evt['ald'] or $evt['ntm']) { $evt['sti'] = $evt['eti'] = ''; } //all day or no time: start/end time = ''
