Topic: To Do Window

When logged in as an Administrator and on the Calendar screen, at the bottom of the Side menu there is a "To Do" option that opens a small window similar to the Upcoming and Approve windows. How does that window become populated with data?

Maybe this helps : http://calendarforum.dk/todo-list.html

Re: To Do Window

That page didn't, but this page did:
http://calendarforum.dk/todo-and-approve.html

It took me an age to find it going through the menu system. The problem was that as a new visitor I had no clue that there was a link at the bottom of the page you pointed me at.

There was no underline and the text didn't change to a distinctive colour till after I had visited it. That's definitely a feature that needs changing on your otherwise very useful site.

There really ought to be a Help page built into LuxCal describing the feature. It's one I will definitely be using, for regular users of our buildings to book their next set of dates.

Hi Greg,

You can edit the Help file(s) and put whatever information you like in that you feel will be of help to your users.

Re: To Do Window

Hi Dan,

Good thought, especially as I have in mind some classes of users whose entries will need approval. However, my question really comes into the Calendar owner category, and for that you really do need full documentation of the kind Schwartz provides on his site.

However, your suggestion does raise one question, do you know which of these files are current and used. It would appear my installation may have some redundant help files left over from earlier installations.

I am running:
LuxCal calendar: 4.7.2M (mycal)
PHP: 7.1.3 - Show info
Database: MySQL V5.5.60-cll

My help folder includes:

ug-02.htm
ug-02-english.htm
ug-02-english.html
ug-04-english.htm
ug-04-english.html

Part of the problem may be that my installation was made through a package that my web host provides called Softaculous. (Makes installation a breeze but comes with the disadvantage that you never quite know what is going on under the surface.)

A question... On that page you give an example where you first say that when a booking is approved it becomes controlled by the Admin and the user loses control of it. Then you go on:

You approved the booking, but You changed the time by half an hour. The user can see that, and maybe You let the system send a mail. If You have set it up, the user has to accept the booking by marking the todo field.
This way the user makes a final accept, and the booking are now completely locked.

Does "completely locked" mean that neither the Admin nor the user can any longer edit the event. For example neither can delete it.

Re: To Do Window

Hello Greg

About the help files :
You can find some information here : http://calendarforum.dk/context-sensitive-help.html
As you can see there is no left-over files. There is an explanation for the files.
A tip : If you make customized help-files, you could in that file make a link to a specific page on the calendarforum.dk.

About the approval : To be honest I don't remember any more, in details how this functions. I suggest you make some bookings/events and try it out.
As I remember it, it is a definition - when both you (admin approved event ) and user ( checks todo field on event) has accepted then no changes should take place. The user cannot and the admin should not. Not much in the system is "closed" for the admin smile

Re: To Do Window

Hi Schwatz,

It seems I didn't read far enough on the page I quoted from. It explains...

For the owner of the event and users with "manager" rights this  check mark is a hyperlink and, when clicked, will open a window to check/uncheck the check mark.

So it seems the answer is that you can unlock the "completely locked" event.

Thanks too for the link on help files.

Re: To Do Window

Hi Greg and John,

You will also find a short explanation in the admin_guide.html document in section 3c.
Please note that in version 4.7.2 there is a problem with the function to check / uncheck the "to-do" check mark.  In this forum, under Known Issues & Fixes you will find a post where you can download a zip-file with two files and instructions. Once you have followed the instructions, the check mark will work correctly.
