I see at least 3, Default, Friendship Foundation Schedule and SMART Dogs Schedule ( see http://www.dog-play.com/cgi-bin/webcal/calendar.pl?calendar=Overview&year=2002&month=12 ). Of course, those other calendars have to have events before they'll appear in the meta calendar's grids.
The Meta Calendar will also only show events the current user has permissions to view. What are the permissions set to for Diane's calendar?
Or did you mean not all the calendars show up in the Select Meta Calendar screen?
** each have different templates. Oh and had to copy event_detail_popup.html to each of the template folders to get that to work. **
I hadn't considered that each calendar might be using a different template, at least when they popup you can see at a glance that they're from an individual calendar?
Glad to hear you figured out where to put the template. The plug-in should really find the template in the plug-in's directory. Maybe I'll try to look into why calendar.pl doesn't, one day? For administration plug-ins, it seems to (for the most part anyway).

------------------
That did it. Sorry, I should have thought of that. I spent my time comparing templates etc not seeing enough difference to explain the problem.
I understand that with permissions I can set it up so that one user could see two calendars and other user could see three etc. Can a user name and password be passed in a link so that the user need not know the information to select each view?
I really appreciate the work that went into creating this meta calendar.
** For example you should be able to see my own ww..../cgi-bin/webcal/calendar.pl?calendar=Diane but it doesn't show up in the Meta Calendar **
It is possible to view a calendar by directly linking to it if you know the calendar's key, even if you don't have permissions to view it. You just can't select it on the Select Calendar screen through the administration interface. That has been discussed in the forums previously (if that's what you were worried posing about).
That is one other thing my Meta Calendar plug-in handles, it doesn't even show the other calendar's names if the user doesn't have permissions to view them (hence they should never be able to figure out their names to directly link to them).
BTW. I noticed your help files, they look really good! Maybe you could consider making them available to others through the Unofficial CalendarScript - Mods and Plugins site?

In the moment it scans only the metacalender itself.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you perform a search on the meta calendar, all other calendar's events (which the user has permissions to view) will be displayed.
HOWEVER, the CalendarScript search routine is flawed in that it will only find recurring events if the start date falls within the time period searched for and even then, it only finds the first occurrence. It will not find an unbounded (no start or end time) recurring event at all.
I did not attempt to correct the default search routine's shortcomings. (That's Matt's job)
When I go to calendar admin to choose which calendar to display I select the default calendar and save all. However it does not seem to work and when I go back into to the MetaCalendar Options, Meta Calendar disabled option is selected again. I've checked all the permissions, but it still does not work.
Also the drop down calendar selection doesn't work, but I'm guessing this is because the plugin is not working.
I've been changing the pearl scripts to cgi scripts so far. Do I need to change them in the Meta Calendar plugin as well?
Thanks for all your help
Sounds like a permissions problem to me.
There have been other posts about other plugins becoming disabled. I don't know if it was ever resolved but you could try searching the forums.
** Also the drop down calendar selection doesn't work **
I wasn't aware there was such a thing as part of the Meta Calendar plugin. Refresh my memory.
Can someone respond to this error message? Can I have a fresh copy of this missing file?
Someone has already in one of the other messages you posted about this problem.
This is from the Meta Calendar _installation.txt file:
quote:* If templates can not be found in the plug-in's directory, upload them to your regular templates and/or admin directory.

I also got the message about not finding the popup templateand following the directions, copied the events popuphtml file over into my default template directory.
The popup does work and does display all the pertinentdata BUT it is headed by this message:==========[Include file (/var/www/cgi-bin/calendarscript/templates/calendars/default/styles.pl) could not be found] =========
This is a puzzler as there is no file "styles.pl" anywhereon my system or included in the MetaCalendar files. I guessI'm curious too, the instructions say if the popup templatesaren't found to copy them to the default directory . . .I don't also have to bring over any of the .pl filestoo, do I?
Now, with reference to some of the above - I downloadedand installed CS pretty recently, but aside fromknowing when I got it, is there a file or widgetsomewhere that shows me the version number?
Thanks for the note. The event_detail_popup.html template used in the Meta Calendar plug-in was derived from the CalendarScript version 3.1 default.html template, version 3.2 changed that particular included file name. I'll see if I can update the template or installation notes to make reference to it.
** is there a file or widget somewhere that shows me the version number? **
The CalendarScript version number is listed at the top of the calendar.pl and calendar_admin.pl files. I don't know if it is listed anywhere else.
