Greetings -
I have 3 (currently) calendars in which I'd like my users to be able to access/view. Currently, they only see the 'default' calendar. Only the Admin is able to select a different calendar to view as time.

I tried the meta-calendar plugin but that didn't seem to function at all for me...could be operator error..

thanks,
Marshal

** Only the Admin is able to select a different calendar to view as time. **

Than it sounds like the other users don't have 'View' permissions for those other calendars.

** the meta-calendar plugin but that didn't seem to function at all for me **

You don't see any events or maybe just error message(s) are displayed??? Kinda hard to suggest a possible cause or fix without more detailed information.

Greetings (again) -
Here's some more info as I realize now that what I wrote was not that helpful.

Here's the deal:
1 - I haven't seen where/how to make the calendar(s) available to all users. Currently, which could be part of the problem, I only have the 'out of the box' anonymous and an Admin account.

2 - The meta-calendar (unless I am mistaken) appeared to have the ability to display data from multiple calendars and provide the ability to search multiple calendars. The error I received with that plugin, when went to the search screen was:
"Error requiring custom function file 'G:WinappsPeregrinecalendarapp/calendarscript/plugins/MetaCalendar/display_after_getInput.pl'. The error is: [Can't locate G:WinappsPeregrinelendarapp/calendarscript/plugins/MetaCalendar/display_after_getInput.pl at (eval 1) line 1. ]"

Poking around, I could not locate where that line was that generated the error message.

Like I said, the main option i am trying to do is be able to have a user (or user(s)) be able to view the different calendars.

** 1 - I haven't seen where/how to make the calendar(s) available to all users. **

> Calendar Administration > User Admin > Modify User Permissions

Yes but it will still only display events from calendars the user has permissions to view. If they can't even view the calendars, there's not hope of seeing their events.

** Can't locate G:WinappsPeregrinelendarapp/calendarscript/plugins/MetaCalendar/display_after_getInput.pl **

Is that file there??

** I could not locate where that line was that generated the error message. **

The script generates that error message on the fly and is telling you what it thinks the problem is, "Can't locate file...".

Hola -

** Can't locate G:WinappsPeregrinelendarapp/calendarscript/plugins/MetaCalendar/display_after_getInput.pl **

***Is that file there??***

Well, that's the interesting bit, see the file is there but for some reason the path that it's showing is not correct. It states that G:WinappsPeregrinelendarapp/ when it should be G:\Winapps\Peregrine\calendarapp

It's almost like it got confused of what the full path is, you know?  

As for the user's permissions, yes they have the access to view the other calendars.

** G:WinappsPeregrinelendarapp/ when it should be G:\Winapps\Peregrine\calendarapp **

I'm afraid I have no idea what would cause that and only on that plug-in, sorry. If it happened for both the calendar.pl and calendar_admin.pl files, I'd suggest manually setting the $BASE_DIR variable in them.

BTW. When using paths in Perl scripts, use forward slashes (/) as separators and not backslashes (\).

** yes they have the access to view the other calendars. **

Than there should be no reason they can't get to those other calendars. I'm afraid i have no idea where you problem is.
