The email event reminders I get have the date of the event in the email but not the Title or Description can anyone help.
When I enable send and send all reminders immediately I get all the details in the emails.

I'm having the same problem with the event and description fields not appearing in the email.  Also, I get an error when the server runs cron stating no such file or directory at /.../.../www/cgi-bin/calendarscript/plugins/csremind/csr_run.cgi line 57.

I found this that fixed a few bugs, it is at http://www.srijith.net/trinetre/archives/2003/05/27.shtml

  1. Bug 1 - In the file csr_run.pl, that is used to run the cron job to send the emails, the third line after the initial comments goes like:
     $csreminderfile = "data/cs_reminders.pl";
     This does not work when you setup a cron job, because cron jobs are not run in the same directory as csremind. So, when the csr_run.pl script tries to find the data/cs_reminders.pl data_file, it croaks an error. Change this line to:
     $csreminderfile = "FULL_PATH_OF_CSREMIND/data/cs_reminders.pl";
  2. Bug 2 - When you subscribe for an event notification, the perl script display_after_getEvent.pl gets called. In particular the function display_after_getEvent gets called with the parameter set_reminder. So, look for the line:
     if ($csr_q->param('set_reminder')){
     This is the portion which is called. Inside the code section, the reminder data file is updated, with a call to csr_write_file function. However, what is surprising is that there is no call to the function csr_getEventInfo before the calle to csr_write_file. This the variables that should have contained details of the event (like title and description) is empty and will not be written in the reminder data file. Hence the emails sent will have no info! Solution, just add:
     &csr_getEventInfo; just before &csr_write_file.
  3. The "description" does not get written into the reminder data file! Look inside the function csr_write_file. A line goes:
     print FILE "$csr_email\t$evdate\t$ndate\t$csr_link\t$csr_title\t$desc\n";
     The problem is that the description data of the event is stored in the variable $csr_desc and not $desc! So change the line to:
     print FILE "$csr_email\t$evdate\t$ndate\t$csr_link\t$csr_title\t$csr_desc\n";

Thanks DanO for your support pages. My calendar is functioning OK but I would very much like to get the CSR plug in working. I have tried the listed modifications and still get unpredictable results. Has any one gotten this plug in to work or is it forever buggy? I can't describe the specific issues I was having as I removed it from my server.

Thanks

I have csr working, with the exception of the add to local calendar option.
Here are a few things I discovered:
First go to DanO's page Unofficial CalendarScript - Mods and Plugins
Next do each of the three changes that are referenced there for csr. (only two if you are not using meta calendars)
Watch out for these items:
When changing the path from  $csreminderfile = "data/cs_reminders.pl";
to
$csreminderfile = "FULL_PATH_OF_CSREMIND/data/cs_reminders.pl";

I found that the full path must start with a "/"
so it would look llike this
$csreminderfile = "/FULL_PATH_OF_CSREMIND/data/cs_reminders.pl";
I also found that the path to sendmail must also start with "/"

When making the changes suggested by PaulB

" I doubt you are the only one with this problem as it is a bug in the code. The problem is in display_after_getEvent.pl in the csr_write_file subroutine. The variables csr_desc and csr_title have not been assigned at this point. They don't get assigned until subroutine csr_confirm is run which in turn calls csr_getEventInfo to assign these variables. The fix is to add the following in the csr_write_file subroutine prior to the open statement.
&csr_getEventInfo

Your code should now look like this.

sub csr_write_file {
&csr_getEventInfo
open (FILE, ">>$csreminderfile");  "

please note that "&csr_getEventInfo"
must end with a ";" so the code would look like this

sub csr_write_file {
&csr_getEventInfo;
open (FILE, ">>$csreminderfile");

After making those rather minor changes, csr is functioning perfectly except for the add to local calendar feature, which I do not have a clue about , so I have disabled it.

Hope this helps

One minor issue I am having with csr and metacal: In the master calendar, clicking on details on an event shows as a pop up window, which is what I want. the sub-calendars all show event details in the same window, which is not what I want.
Neither the master nor the sub calendars respond to changing the TARGET attribute for links:________ setting on the Calendar Settings page.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Tony W

** In the master calendar, clicking on details on an event shows as a pop up window, which is what I want. the sub-calendars all show event details in the same window, which is not what I want. **

From the Meta Calendar's installation instructions:

quote:================
OPTIONS:
================

To use the 'popup' event template regardless if on the
defined meta calendar or not, use the following JavaScript
code instead of the above code.

## Alternate JavaScript code starts AFTER this line...

Thanks, The java script solved the problem

What is the latest status on CSR Reminder Plug-in.  This is a very critical feature for me and based upon htis plugin working properly determines if I will purchase this software.

[newtech]

Can I get a status on the CSR reminder plug-in.  Has anyone got it to work properly? If not, is there another plug-in that works properly to make it so that an end user can request an automatic notification of an upcoming event.  It is hard to believe that there isn't such a feature with a calendar program.

Still no reply on this.  Is there any other way to automatic notification of an upcoming event?

** Is there any other way to automate notification of an upcoming event? **

Not with the current version of CalendarScript that I know of. Maybe with the next?

Did you try this plug-in??

Dan O.

[newtech]

I am still evaluating various calendar scripts, so I have not installed this script.  Reading the forum it sounds like the plug-in has tons of problems and is questionable if eit even works.  I do not want to take the time to install this script and the plug-in if the plug-in does not work.

When is the release of the new version?

[newtech]

I installed this calendar script and the csrreminder plugin.  However there is a file missing in the plugin zip file.  It is cs_reminders. pl.  It is suppose to be in the csremind/data folder.  Can someone please post the file contents here or better yet, add the file to the plugin zip.
