Can users add events?

I thought in the older version, anyone could add events. Is it posible in the new one?

Thanks,
Alison

Yes, you just need to add them to the database with ltw_install.php and they can add events after they log in.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, do you mean I have to add each user manually?

Thanks,
Alison

In version 3.0, yes. You must run ltw_install.php to add each user.
As soon as Matt posts v4.0, I added a user manager screen where an Admin can do it 'on line' without the installer.

Excellent. I could have sworn in your earlier version a user could sign up themself. I guess I'm dreaming.

Do you know when 4 will be ready I am showing this university web site in two weeks !

Thanks for your help.

I sent Matt the code last week, and since he wrote the origional versions, I don't feel right about distributing it by other methods. So, eMail Matt here and ask him. You may also want to look at the "4.0 Preview" Post to get a list of the new features....

Note: 4.0 does NOT let a user sign themselves up so they can add events, the administrator still needs to do that. But with the way I restructured the calendar code in 4.0, it's fairly easy to "bolt on" additional functionality.


I'm actually working on a few things that didn't make 4.0 because I didn't want to delay it any longer that will make up 4.1:

1) Password Aging so users must change passwords every x days (if you want to enforec that).
2) Filter the Month display by Category Number(s)
3) A List Display with start & end dates so an "Upcoming Events" list (for say the next two minths) is easy to do.
4) The month display currently does one query per day, that means upto 31 db accesses to draw the month. That will change to 1 query per month into an array, and then cycle thru the array in memory. Much faster.

I hope to have that to Matt by end of next week.

Oh yea, a simple db cleanup tool...
(ie delete all events or log entries prior to yyyy-mm-dd)
