First of all, I must say that this is one hell of a calendar system. Very finely crafted.

I am very interested in purchasing this within the week, however I want to be able to customize it quite a bit, obviously leaving intact anything that the license requires. So my main question is, are all of the event manager and authentication files still encrypted in the purcahsed version. If so, is there a way for me to customize those features without decrypting your source?

Thanks!

The paid version files and the trial version files are exactly the same.

What type of customizations do you want to do? (There are means built into the script to allow many changes, depending on your needs.)

I was hoping to make the main calendar page display events only if someone was logged into the event manager. To someone else you mentioned using the $showcat command after checking for a user session (I think that was for displaying categories in the event manager though). However, the user session doesn't hold when looking at the calendar. For now we are happily using the calendars inside the event manager, but I think a TOC view would be preferable to us.

Easier to read summary: I only want events visible to event managers (a private calendar, there are no public events) in a TOC or "blog" view.

Edit: The other modification I wanted to make was a bit larger. I wanted to display who made the Event (which user), a way for others to "RSVP" for the event and evantually a simple comment system.

Thanks for the quick response!

Okay, I have made some progress with the initial mod I needed. However, I have run into a road block.

By adding this:

if ($_SESSION['user']) {
echo "<center>";
$TOC=1; // UNCOMMENT THIS LINE TO SHOW TEXT ON CALENDAR
unset($epcAltLink); $epcAltLink="http://www.easyphpcalendar.com/"; // UNCOMMENT THIS LINE TO USE THE ALT LINK FEATURE

require("calendar.php");
}


However, this makes some other alterations to the page I don't want. First of all, it removes the Event Manager's list mode which was perfect for my situation. Secondly, it puts the add event box at the bottom of the page, which would be just fine, HOWEVER, none of the form buttons do anything in this section of the page.

If these two issues can be resolved, I'm sold.

Thanks Again!

Ok I fixed the above by removing everything except for the user check and $TOC=1;

So I'll be purchasing tomorrow.

I do have one quick question though, by enabling TOC, it makes the first calendar full size, the other two remain. Is there anyway to either make the first calendar the current month (instead of the previous) or making the middle one big and the other 2 small?

Thanks

Sure! You can add or remove any size and change the position of any calendar on your page. Did you review the Integration section of the instructions? It has full details on how to add the proper code for each display mode.
