Bob, I'm wondering if for some reason files didn't get uploaded properly. Since it was a clean install try deleting everything and doing a clean install again.

Hello Hibbe,

When logged in as the Admin under the User Settings for the Username "Public Access" click the Edit button and select "No access" in the drop down. Then click "Update Profile".

Users will need to log in to view the Calendar.

Hello,

If I am understanding you correctly for the sub menu but you don't say for what.

If you are editing the categories.php file then I am assuming you are trying to add a new category for events. If that is the case you don't need to edit any files.

When logged in as the Admin from the Menu select "Categories". You can then edit, delete or add any new categories.

If that is not what you trying to do please explain exactly what the drop menu is for and where you would like it.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Roel,

Thanks for the tip on removing the extra fields.

Kind regards,

Hi Roel,

I don't know if this would work as a bit of a solution to the upgrade problem if you added and moved the additional fields to another table.

There is currently an import feature but not an export. If users could export their current entries and then import them into the new table.

The only other solution is as you say to start fresh. With most that may not be a problem for the data. If they can keep all of their settings they can then delete just the data if they don't need it. Not a clean solution but that might be the only other option.

The biggest advantage of moving the fields to a separate table would be giving user's an unlimited number fields. The other advantage since I personally, at least at this point in time, use any additional fields is I wouldn't have an Extra field 1 and field 2 in the window when adding an event.

Kind regards,
Dan

Hi Stefan,

I think I understand what you mean it is like Friday the 13th at Port Dover here in Ontario Canada. If the 13th of the month happens to fall on a Friday there is an event. If the 13th is on any other day of the month there isn't an event.

You are saying that only if and when there is a fifth say Friday in a month there is an event that day otherwise there isn't. Since there are 4.33 weeks in a month there are never a full five weeks but you can have where there are five of a certain day in a month.

I think you are correct in that feature / function is not possible in LuxCal.

I'm not speaking for Roel since he may elect to add that as a feature. For the number of times that happens it may not be worth adding as a feature since a person could manually put those few entries in.

Dan

I was just able to import 104 entries in a single file.

A file with 128 entries didn't get imported.

Dan

I reported this a while back with an earlier version and hoped it was fixed. When I go to import the file is says there aren't any errors.

I click "Add Events", there isn't any error but nothing gets added. If I break the files down so there are fewer events, around 50, they import fine. The total number of events is about 300 so not a large number of events and the file isn't very large.

Hi John,

That was the problem. I was logged in as Admin and checked under my account for Thumbnails and didn't think to check for the user settings.

When I went into the user groups there were the following errors.

Notice: Undefined index: grp_tn_privs10 in /home/content/40/5928640/html/calendar/pages/groups.php on line 78

Notice: Undefined index: grp_tn_privs10 in /home/content/40/5928640/html/calendar/pages/groups.php on line 78

Notice: Undefined index: grp_tn_privs10 in /home/content/40/5928640/html/calendar/pages/groups.php on line 78

As I updated the thumbnail settings for each the an error line would disappear.

I incorrectly assumed as Admin I should be able to upload Thumbnails.

@Roel, Perhaps for the next version set default values for Thumbnails for the default users. For Admin Thumbnails automatically set to "Upload Files" and "Manage All", Post Own "Upload Files" and "Manage Own", View All and Read Access "No Upload" and "View All"

Kind regards,
Dan

I'm not finding the Thumbnail upload.

I am logged in and I select "Thumbnail Images" There is a manage section with the sort, search field and submit button.

Under ===== Your thumbnails =====
None.

The "Help" says:

Upload thumbnails: This browse button can be used to select thumbnails on your local computer, to be uploaded to the calendar. Multiple thumbnails can be selected to be uploaded simultaneously by holding down the CTRL button while selecting thumbnails. If the "allow overwriting" check box is checked, uploaded thumbnails will overwrite existing thumbnails with the same name.

Unless I'm blind, there isn't a Browse button.

In the settings section for File Uploads I'm also not seeing the "allow overwriting" check box

Hi Roel,

I have heard of  jQuery but I'm not familiar with it.

One listed is based on Bootstrap but LuxCal doesn't use Bootstrap so I don't know how or if it would work.

Before you decide to add in a WYSIWYG editor. People will want the ease of use of MS Word and sites like Facebook, Twitter etc. If you give the ability to insert an image they will want to be able link to an image or upload it from their computer. If the image is too big they will want it resized automatically. They don't want an error message that the image is too large. Most users don't know how to resize an image or how large the image they are trying to upload to know if it is too big.

If a user can include an image they will likely want to include or upload a video.

What you have done with LuxCal since I started using it is remarkable. If you feel adding a WYSIWYG editor to LuxCal fits your vision of what LuxCal should be and will be well utilized then I know you will take on that challenge as you have with the other features you have added that have been a challenge. If you feel that there are other features that are a better fit with LuxCal and utilized by users then perhaps your efforts and talents into those features are the route to take.

Kind regards,
Dan

Ok. I think I have found what you are referring too as a WYSIWYG client side editor. CKEditor and TinyMCE may not be completely free or feasible if added to LuxCal.

This site lists the 10 Best WYSIWYG client side editor's.

https://www.sitepoint.com/10-best-html-wysiwyg-plugins/

Dan

Hi Roel,

I know a number of php scripts use CKEditor for WYSIWYG functions.

I do agree having the WYSIWYG feature would be nice if people want to add formatting when entering an event.

If added to LuxCal then as other features this should be an option in the Admin panel to enable or disable.

If by the "client side" you mean the browser, I've never seen a WYSIWYG  editor on the client side.

Did you create the MySQL database first?

If you aren't familiar with MySQL you might want to download the SQLite version instead and install it.

I know what you are referring to. The path for my site is /home/content/40/5928640/html which is a shared Linux Hosting plan.

I do understand Schwartz's point. If the lcalcron runs by hand from your browser it should from the remote.

Fred I ran into a similar problem with the email function if the email address was not for the hosted domain. What I mean is I would have datadan@rogers.com (my ISP) for the admin address. It would not give an error and would say it is sent. As soon as I changed the admin email address to dan@bitsofknowledge.com (bitsofknowledge.com is one I host) the email went through.

Just offering as that would explain why it says it was sent and you did not receive it.

Mark, I would expect it is in the code of what is allowed. For example if it had me-email@gmailcom and the - isn't a permitted character. A slight code change might be all that is required.

To help Roel out can you enter an example of the email address that is being rejected as invalid? Don't enter the actual email address but a fictitious one with the same format / style.

Dan

Hello Mark,

I think what you are looking for is in the View section of Settings.

Under Administration select Settings. Scroll down to Views. In the "Start and end hour in Day/Week view:" fields for example enter 17 in the first box and 24 in the second box.

Now when they select the time they can select evening time slots between 17:00 and midnight. If you have events in the afternoon then you could enter 12 instead of the 17 first box.

Regards,
Dan
