Topic review (newest first)
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 ).
Thank you, I see it now. Are the databases (sqlite) interchangeable between versions 4.7.6 and 4.7.7?
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.
I installed version 4.7.6 yesterday. I am using the display0.php mini calendar. I noticed that on your website, the demo show the minisquare boxes in different colors. On mine the minisquare is the same color as the background (only one event so far) .Please let me know how I can set the colors of the minisquare.
