Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This section helps to answer some of the most commonly asked questions regarding Calendarix. For questions that you do not find answered here, it may be in the Support Forum.

Is it possible to view the calendar in 12-hour or 24-hour time format?

Yes. You can do so by setting the variable $time12hour = '1' for 12-hour time format and $time12hour = '0' for 24-hour time format. The variable is in the cal_config.inc.php file and is available only for calendarix version 0.2.20021111 version onwards.

Can images or html tags be put into the title or description of events?

Yes. You can put in html tags. You can include images through image tags like "<img src=http://www.somewhere.com/image.gif border=0>". However, you should avoid using quotes to ensure the tags are read correctly. Hyperlinks should be absolute to ensure the links are read correctly both in the user and administration calendar.

Is there a way to set up Calendarix for viewing without a login?

Yes. Calendarix can be configured with or without user login. This is done by setting the variables 
"$userlogin=0;" 
"$userview=0;"
"$publicview=0;"
in the cal_config.inc.php file. 

Can individual users have their own individual calendars?

Yes. All users can either share one calendar or view his or her own specific events according to the login. This is done by setting the variables 
"$userlogin=1;" 
"$userview=1;"
"$publicview=0;"
in the cal_config.inc.php file.

Why do I see the error "Warning: open(session-tmp\sess_8f61a7858026b42b77d4e1d187ea83c4, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory ..." when I run calendarix?

Session.save_path directive have to be set in php.ini file. You can create a directory for php session data anywhere. Then, you have to make the php session store its data there by editing the php parameter like

session.save_path = C:\PHP\sessiondata 

in the php configuration file (php.ini for windows).

If you do not have access to the php configuration file, you have to edit the cal_config.inc.php file and insert after the $calpath section the following:

session_save_path("c:/php/tmp");

where the "C:\PHP\TMP" is a valid directory you have created to store the session cookies.

Why do I get redirected back to the login page after login?

The login scripts use cookies to store login information. If cookies are disabled, you will not be able to login and will be redirected back to the login page.
