I followed instructions in installation.txt, with the exception of only finding 4 instances of "event_id=". When I view source on the default.htm page where it lists events, it looks like the links are changed to reference the javascript. However, nothing different happens when I'm in event view - no time/date details. And I don't see any options or MetaCalendar entry in the Admin mode. But the plugin shows as enabled in the plugins list. The event template has been uploaded to each template directory. Here's a link: http://www.fresnolibrary.org/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?calendar=adult&view=Search&command=search&duration=7  
I'd really appreciate help on this. Thanks.

** Here's a link: **

That's to the meta calendar???

If so, the links are NOT correct. The <%= $EVENT->{schedule}->{calendarref} %> tags are not passing the calendar reference to the JavaScript code and the <%= $METACALENDAR %> varaible has no value.

What other plug-ins do you have installed?

If you have others, make sure the Meta Calendar plug-in is at the very top of the list.

I've got a Search Link plugin that, if not listed before the MetaCalendar, won't work. I need to be able to do searches via hyperlink from outisde of the calendar.

All I really want is to display the event date/time on the event view. I don't want any of the other "perks"...

The thread on tweaking the code (w/o plugin) seems to not have produced a working code set and is quite old.

** I've got a Search Link plugin **

That will do it! With that in place the search functions on the meta calendar will NOT function properly (or maybe at all?).

** The thread on tweaking the code (w/o plugin) seems to not have produced a working code set and is quite old. **

I'm afraid I have no idea which message you're referring to.

** All I really want is to display the event date/time on the event view. **

I assume on ALL calendars not just the meta calendar???

Than you'll have modify the JavaScript code as described in the ## Alternate JavaScript code section in the _installation.txt file. In order to display those items, events must be shown on the event_detail_popup.html template.

* That's to the meta calendar??? *

I guess the answer to that question is NO

Thanks - that worked great. I wasn't (still don't) understand the meta calendar itself and don't see one in my calendar list. When I tried to add one, it didn't give me the option of making it a meta calendar. But I've got what I need. Thank you very much, Dan O.

[DanO]

** that worked great. **

Glad to hear it.

** When I tried to add one, it didn't give me the option of making it a meta calendar. **

You don't "make" a meta calendar, you choose an existing one to *be* the meta calendar by clicking the "Meta Calendar : Administer Meta Calendar settings" option on the main administration menu.

Can someone point me to a likely source of trouble for new installs? I too followed the installation instructions but am now able to see a an option to allow management of a meta calendar but no change in any of the menus.

Thanks in advance.

[DanO]

** Can someone point me to a likely source of trouble for new installs? **

Maybe... if you can be more specific about *exactly* the kind of trouble you are having.

** able to see a an option to allow management of a meta calendar but no change in any of the menus. **

What menus were you expecting to change??

Only the administration section's menu(s) should change, adding one option: Meta Calendar : Administer Meta Calendar settings. Also, all Event options (Add Event, Edit/Delete Event, Customize Event Fields, etc.) should be removed from the administration menu but only *when logged into the calendar which is defined as the meta calendar*.

Dan O.

[HooverChan]

Yeah, I should have been clearer. What you describe is _exactly_ what I don't see in the Admin menus. Nothing allowing me to control Meta calendars.

A pointer please to the list of "common screw ups in installing Meta Calendar". Thanks.

[DanO]

** I don't see in the Admin menus. Nothing allowing me to control Meta calendars. **

Than what did you mean by "am now able to see an option to allow management of a meta calendar" in your previous message???

** I don't see in the Admin menus. Nothing allowing me to control Meta calendars. **

If the "Meta Calendar: Administer Meta Calendar settings" option is NOT in the administration menus, make certain you have enabled the plug-in in the plug-in's administration area.

** please list common screw ups in installing Meta Calendar.  **

There are no "common" screw ups. Besides the editing of the template, this plug-in should be pretty simple to install.

Possible problems with any plug-in could be caused by failing to upload the plug-in files, uploading the plug-in files to an incorrect location on the server, failing to upload the files in ascii mode and not enabling the plug-in once uploaded. For this specific plug-in, not modifying the default.html template file properly according to the installation instructions and failing to upload the modified template to the appropriate directory on the server after being modified would cause problems.

The latter two possibilities would not prevent the administration menu from being updated with the new option, just prevent the calendar from displaying event details properly.

re: what does show up and where?

"Administer Meta Calendar" shows up under Global Permissions. This is the only sign so far that something different was added outside of the Plugins management area where the Meta Calendar plugin is visible, was moved up in priority and enabled.

Calendar Script v. 3.21. Meta Calendar v1.40125

The following version of installation instructions was followed:
http://www.much2.com/calendarscript/MetaCalendar.1.40125_installation.txt

The template default.html file that was modified was in:

templates/calendars/default

The sections in the default.html file to be added to or modified seemed clear and the actual number of instances cited in the installation documentation corresponded with what I had.

Is this an issue where the line length might have been an issue?

OS is RH Linux 9. Apache 2.0.40.

I'm going to get my backup copy of default.html and redo the revisions to see if I get a different result.

Thanks.

[HooverChan]

Progress. I _carefully_ added the lines of code to the default.html file but I think what made a bigger difference for me was to clear cache and history _and_ restarting the Web browser (Firefox 1.07).

I'm now looking into how to better control what other calendars get into the meta one. Ideally, I'd like it so that end users, including anonymous ones, can select from the available information that they have permission to see.

Thanks again for the guidance.

[DanO]

So does that mean you CAN now see the "Meta Calendar: Administer Meta Calendar settings" option in the main administration section menu(s)

** I'm now looking into how to better control what other calendars get into the meta one. Ideally, I'd like it so that end users, including anonymous ones, can select from the available information that they have permission to see. **

Good luck! Selecting what calendars will be included in the meta calendar will only be available in the Meta Calendar 2 version and it will NOT be user selectable. Only the administrator will be able to set the calendars displayed in the Meta Calendar. Users will however be able to select a subset of those to be seen (or not seen) by them self.

JFYI

Yes, I have the Meta calendar feature fully functional and yes, I'd be interested in the feature sets for Meta 2.

I would still be interested in seeing an end user selectable feature where they could overlay from a list of calendars available to them all discriminable by differences in color but I understand that certainly won't be in the immediate future.

Any sense on when Meta 2 will be available?

Thanks.

[DanO]

** Yes, I have the Meta calendar feature fully functional **

Glad to hear it.

** Any sense on when Meta 2 will be available? **

I'm afraid I do not know when I'll have a chance to put together a final release. There are several people using it with no reports of problems. I would consider releasing it on a limited basis, email me if you want to hear my terms. Please put CalendarScript or Meta Calendar2 in the message title. It may take a week or so for me to reply.

** I would still be interested in seeing an end user selectable feature **

I had considered making something like that for future versions of the Meta Calendar but it would definitely be at additional cost.

JFYI
