I am looking into using this script to manage a "call schedule" where I would need to enable users to "sign up" for 1 of 4 available slots per day... and only the admin should be able to clear a slot once it has been signed up for.

so... do ya'll think that it would be not too hard to modify the code such that:
- limit to 4 events per day
- limit names of events; ie. shift1, shift2, etc
- disable user deletion of events

additionally, it would be best if I could add some logic and checks to the event adder. like not allow a person to sign up for more than one slot per day and such... so my question would be if the source is easy enough to figure out that I could see where to insert a little sub to check names against existing events for a given day.

thanx for your comments,

Dan

** - limit to 4 events per day **

TubaDave's NoOverlap plug-in might be able to be used for that?

** - limit names of events; ie. shift1, shift2, etc **

Modify the 'title' field to be a drop down menu with the choices you want.

** - disable user deletion of events **

You can limit user's permissions. If you want to just limit deletions, you'd likely have to do some customization.

** like not allow a person to sign up for more than one slot per day **

TubaDave's NoOverlap plug-in might be able to be modified to do that?

** if the source is easy enough to figure out **

CalendarScript is a complex application and will likely take some time (and a knowledge of Perl) to figure out how to modify it for any purpose. I suggest you look through what mods and plug-ins are available for it to see how changes can be made.
