I'd like to modify the Add Event Form, so that it isn't possible any more to specify a time! All events should be all day events! Is this possible???

Sure it is!

Just go to the calendarscript/templates/admin/English directory and find the file add_edit_event.html .  Then go almost to the bottom until you see a long line of <input type="hidden"> tags.  Add one more that says:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="SCHEDULE_all_day" VALUE="1">

The next thing below all those hidden input's is a <table> tag, followed by two short (5 and 3 lines) <tr> ... </tr> tags.  The next (long - I counted 31 lines) <tr> ... </tr> tag is the part you need to either delete or comment out with <!-- and -->.  Do that, and you should have a time-free scheduling page.

Enjoy!
David

Hi David,

I have 2 calendars: 1 for normal events and 1 for birthdays.
Is it possible to use your sollution for my birthday calendar and still use time fields in my regular calendar?

------------------

Perhaps something like: if calendar=default than regular, if calendar=birthday than your solution?

Hey, you can do that, too.  Just wrap the new stuff up in if statements, so the hidden input would look like this:

<% if ($CALENDAR->{'key'} eq "birthday") { %>
   <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="SCHEDULE_all_day" VALUE="1">
<% } %>

And instead of putting comments around the <TR> block just put the if statement before the block and the closing bracket after the block.  And that should get you working the way you want.

Has somebody perhaps been able to make a plugin to solve this? (I mean for the Birthday calendar)

I would like to give visitors the opportunity to add their name to a birthday calendar.
When they click Add they only have to enter their name en birthday (calendarscript should know it is a recurring event and should ignore the yearnumber).

Regards,
Age

I tried to follow these instructions but could not find the lines referenced in the add_edit_event file. I found something similar in the schedule non recurring event file and commented out the <TR>...</TR>, as well as added the hidden value, but the browser indicates there is an error when I click on Save.

** but the browser indicates there is an error when I click on Save. **

What was the exact error message?

The message is "error on page." on the bottom left corner of the browser (not a message window), accompanied by the '!' icon.

You can find a copy of the code at:
http://www.hgcweb.com/calendar/schedule_event_non_recur.txt

There are comments detailing the two changes on the file.

The calendar itself is at:
http://www.hgcweb.com/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?calendar=anthony

you can log in as "student", pass: "student" and make changes. It's just for testing.

Thanks
