Hi,
I found one post asking this previously but it had no replies...is there any way to skip the choose calendar screen?  For instance, on my site, I know I will have no more than one calendar, and I'd like users to have as few pages to go through as possible when adding an event.

Thanks,
Tom

The only time a user should get to the 'Select Calendar' screen is if they were logging in using the administration section and not from the plain calendar.

If you wanted the administration section to skip the 'Select Calendar' screen, you'd have to modify the form fields on the administration's login.html template (there's a separate login.html template for logging in from the calendar BTW).

First you need to change the line:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="template" VALUE="select_calendar.html">

to

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="template" VALUE="main.html">

Then you'd need to add another hidden form field:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="calendar" VALUE="default">

so the administration script would know which calendar was being logged into.

I am pretty new to this but do have a question concerning the 'Managing Calendars' option. I have a few different calendars and with about the same number of users. I want the users to be able to add & edit events one their calendars but I would prefer that they not see all of the calendars that are setup. Is there a way to 'hide' the 'Change Calendars' option? Would this be the same fix as shown above or something different?

** Is there a way to 'hide' the 'Change Calendars' option? **

Well since that option is in a number of places (2 menus and at the top of all administration pages), it would require editing a number of files. You would also need to do it or conditionally or else no one (not even the administrator) would be able to navigate to the various calendars.

Maybe the 'Login Redirect' plug-in available from the Unofficial CalendarScript - Mods and Plugins site would help to acheive your goal?

** I would prefer that they not see all of the calendars that are setup. **

That can be done fairly easily using the hack at the following link but will run into problems if any user only has permissions to view a single calendar.
