Hello NorfolkGreg

I just tested your calendar.
On the 2. October you have an event where there is a link Elaine Smith.

When I click this link I see an informational  message that says :

Send mail to : elainesmith364@btinternet.com

And when I say "yes" to this, it opens my Outlook and starts a mail

In the TO field : elainesmith364@btinternet.com

And in the subject field : 02/10/2018 - 1st Stalham Rainbows

I would say, that this should be the way it should function.

When I do it for the event on 13. October and click on Diane Godron then the
TO field contains :      mailto:concert@stalhambaptist.org.uk
And the subject : 13/10/2018 - Gospel Night

So - maybe you should just remove the mailto:

Ja - der er en Dansker bag fansitet. Denne fantastiske kalender fortjener en fansite.

Jeg skifter lige til et mere udbredt sprog :

A tip - when showing upcoming events for one or more categories, the displays is really good.
You can see an example here : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/brm02/egnsmu … l#section3

Hello Stefan

I see what you mean.
You cannot in settings set the end time to e.g. 22:01 and then have the 22:00 to be in the "picker".

But you need not use the keyboard. When in day-view or week-view, you can "mark" the time-span you want, and if you mark from 20:00 to 22:00 then the start-time for the event will be set to 20:00 and the end-time to 22:00. But you will still have the "problem" in month-view.

I think it will not be complicated to have the time-picker include the last time from setting.

I think Roel could find a solution for this ( hopefully ) little "problem".

Hello Stefan

I would suggest you use the "Save as new" for this.
You find yourself the dates that meets your rule.

You create the first event. Then change the date and press "Save as new"
change the date press "Save as new"  and so on..

It should not take long to create for a year - only change 5-6 dates and 5-6 clicks.

Hello Stefan

You should be able to do that.

There is an option : Repeat every  (number) (type)

You should be able to set this as : Repeat every 5 week(s)

Hope this was what you mean...

Hello Stefan

If you are a coder, then you could go this way.
If/when you have something useful, please share it with us - either via the code or/and via a link to your calendar.

For those of us, that want it to be easy when upgrading ( using the standard solution) , and therefore want an extremely flexible solution where most things can be solved via settings, then I think that in the near future, we will be able to use the display also for login, and for letting the display use the credentials for the user, and eventually create/edit events from/via the display.

This could be a great enhancement for using the calendar on mobile devices.

This summer, it has been hot here in Europe - so is the calendar.

Hello Stefan

The displays is mostly meant for public view, but you can have/make a display that only show events for one or more users.
You can filter on groups, categories, users and  venue ( case-insensitive text string for venue ).
Private events should not be shown in the display.

There is a lot of functionality in the calendar and a mobile could be very small, but even then it can be used on a mobile.
If you set up the calendar with only the Options buttons to the left, and the login and hamburger to the right, then the calendar should be fully adaptive -  and then the calendar uses the users priviligees, and users can create events. You can do the same things on a mobile as on a desktop.
But you have to have your settings then, so it fits to mobile view.
There is no viewports regarding the settings - but in the new version, most of the  the buttons to the right is made as a hamburger.
Maybe Roel could tell some more about this.

The displays are optimized for mobiles. You could have a link on your mobile - no need to install an app. This way you can have the calendar in your pocket.
I have another example for a display here : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/kalmus/display1kommende.php

The images are made clickable. This is a great way to present data from the calendar.
Try some of the links on a mobile.

Hope you are inspired by this.

Hello Stefan

It is not certain, that the calendars linked to, is the most up-to-date.
In the navigation bar, many of the buttons are now put in a hamburger-menu.


If you want to see the calendar used as example, you could use this link : http://www.luxsoft.eu/luxcal/

If you want to administer the calendar it could be done from a mobile, but the best here will be to use a tablet or a desktop.

The best way to present the calendar on a mobile device, is to use one of the displays.

You can see the same calendar in a display here : http://www.luxsoft.eu/luxcal/display1.php
And another here : http://www.luxsoft.eu/luxcal/display2.php

Hello Remat457

This is how the calendar does.
We are having some discussions, how the behaviour should be about multi-calendars.

Some could say it is smart that you don't have to log in again, but just can shift between calendars - others would say it should only be possible if both the name and the mail is the same, and others again would say it should be completely separated.

I can't say what solution Roel think is the best, but I think it will be adressed in a follow-up release in a couple of months.

Beware - if you for the usergroup have set rights for specific categories and then add new categories - then you have to also specify access for the new categories in the group-settings
OR
You have to make the settings for ALL categories.

Hello Netadm

Just tested in version 4.7.0.
Moved a user to the "Post All".
Then this user could see/edit even admin events.
Functioned as expected.
Could you please provide a screenshot of your settings for the "Post all" settings?

Hello Dan

I suppose you have in settings, set the right to upload thumbnails.
It is in the user group you set : May upload files    AND  under this
you should also set : Thumbnails priviliges.


And then :
When logged in you choose "Thumbnails" in the new dropdown.

You should then see the thumbnail's page.

In the "manage thumbnails" there is a line starting with "Upload thumbnails". After that, is a button. If you click this button, you should be able to pick images on your computer.

Under the button is a checkbox : Allow overwriting.
If this box is checked, then files will be overwritten if they exist.

Hope you are helped by this.

Kind regards
John


I will later update calendarforum.dk with the thumbnails.

Hello Fbonani

Could it be that the birthday events are created as recurring events?
In this case the event cannot be deleted by the cronjob, as it is coming in the future.

You can however, delete ( by hand ) one occurence in a serie. This way you can delete only the birthday-event that is past, and let the future events stay in the calendar.

Please tell if this solves your problem

Kind regards
John S.

If using the Remote-setting for the cronjob, the job can be started from everywhere. And then the IP is shown.
This is not a setting I would normally recommend - but it is useful when testing.

I am sorry if you are mislead by the IP-address shown in the documentation for the Cronjob.
I will make a remark that the number shown, is just for the example, and that people themselve has to check the IP for their provider.

I hope your next post is to tell that it now all functions smile

Hello Fred

This is a bit strange.

Running the lcalcron.php should be the same - started by "hand" or started by a job.

What happens if you use another browser and clears the cache before starting the cronjob ?

There should be no difference ( By hand or by cronjob provider )

Are you sure that the IP-address from the provider is correct? Some cronjob providers make use of two or more IP-addresses.
You can check in the logfile what IP the job comes from. Check that it is the IP you have set up for the cronjob provider.

Kind regards

Hello Fred

I can see Roel is online - but I post this anyway smile

Be sure it is for the L-version you start the cronjob. This way nothing else is to interfere.

Then try to start the cronjob by hand.

This SHOULD function.

Then set the cronjob to start automatically.


Kind regards

Good point Dan.

My ISP for most of my domains ( one.com) also demands the sender of the mail to be a mailaddress from the domain.
You will probably not get an error - the message will simply not be sent.

Kind regards

Hello Fred

There are some things you can do to test.

If on the Settings page you set the Cron job host to: remote
then you are allowed to start the lcalcron.php script by "hand" - this means you can start it from your browser.

1 - is this successful?
2 - At the external provider you have specified a job. If you "by hand" start the url you have given for the provider what is the outcome of this?
3 - In the luxcal.log file you should see an entry for every time the cron job has started - are there any hints in the log file?

Beware that when the cron job is set to remote (without IP address) anybody can start your cron job, so remember to "set it back"

Kind regards,
John

Hello JCB

You can create your own help files in Dutch. This way you can tailor the system, so you can give your users instructions that matches your use of the calendar.

The calendar can be set up for many purposes, and therefore the existing help-texts are very general. You can make a text that matches exactly the purpose of your calendar.

See here for more information about the help files : http://calendarforum.dk/context-sensitive-help.html

Kind regards

Hello Stefan

The purpose with the display, is to present events in an elegant design. It is meant to be used for small cinemas, theatres, museums and clubs that has public events. It can also be used as a news-display. It is meant only to be set up for categories that are considered as public. Private events should not be shown in the display.
In the extrafields can be specified images and after the image, an URL can be specified. Then the display can be used for a short description of an event and the URL can lead to a longer description for the event.

If you want a user-dependent kind of display, you could maybe use the "Upcoming event".

As Dan mentions - if Roel think it is a good idea, then maybe there could be a kind of check on logged-in user. I think this should be a setting in the display then.

Kind regards
Schwartz
