Its not working

[victor]

I installed the files per instructions in the escal folder. Went to setup and wrote in new password and username. At this time, I cannot save any preferences. I went to the isp's site, and do not see any permissions? Help!

Thank You.

Which version are you using? Is it the trial or paid version? Can you post or PM me a link to where you're having the problem?

Can you further explain "I went to the isp's site, and do not see any permissions?"

[ve9gra]

It would help to have more details. I'll assume you're on the v5 because you have a setup... but is it the demo or the full version?

You can see permissions with most FTP programs. You need to make sure that the appropriate permissions are set on the files where the configuration is saved.

Edit: Brian beat me to it... :P

The paid one. Just purchased. It is at http://www.dssurgery.com/escal

Thanks.

[ve9gra]

Can you PM either me or Brian your username and password for your installation?

[victor]

http://www.dssurgery.com/ftp.pdf shows the folders as seen on my hosting site. I use macromedia dreamveawer to upload.

Thanks.

This is a problem with how Yahoo! Hosting handles sessions.

Brian, didn't you encounter this before? What was the fix again? Create a tmp folder or something like that?

[Brian]

You need to create a directory named tmp in the root of your server and give it full-write permissions (777) and you should be set. :)

(This is a requirement of Yahoo Hosting).

Yup.. I guess that was it.... here's the official answer from Yahoo!

Why aren’t my session functions working?
When you create your PHP scripts, you will also need to create the "tmp" subdirectory in your account.

PHP's session functions store your visitor information in temporary files, which are written to the "tmp" directory. If this directory does not exist, the session information will not be stored.

As seen on http://www.dssurgery.com/escal/calendar.php

1- Can a text in the description portion become a hyperlink?
2- Can the width of the yellow portion be reduced ?

and lastly, thank you for your prompt response. I searched a lot for a calendar program, and this is the best I have seen.

Thanks again,

Victor.

It appears you have links in your text so you figured out number 1. :)

To change the width of the listings module, edit the template monthly2 (or another if you're not using the default) and look for:

.tableListings {
width: 680px;

Change the width to the number of pixels wide you want to listings to appear.

Why is there November entry shown on the October calendar?

See http://www.dssurgery.com/escal/calendar.php

I think the same happens every month.

Thanks.

The listings module is a recent addition to the calendar script. This is one of the known issues and will be addressed in a future release.
