Finishing the setting up

[Matthew Newman]

Does anyone know of any documentation that covers the "getting started after getting started"?

Once you've done all the basic set up, I presume you turn the demo setting off, set the file permissions of license, calendar and config.inc.php to 644, and then set up at least two web site pages - one to display the calendar in your preferred way and one to containing the event editor, with a link between the two I presume.

Is that it?

It appears that anyone on the Internet can view the calendar after this, is that right? It seems as though it's only the Event Editor that sits behind a password.

Am I being a bit dim? Is all this described somewhere I haven't spotted yet?

Thanks, in advance, for any pointers anyone has time to give.

It really depends on what you want to do. There are many possibilities.

What is it you want to accomplish?

[Matthew Newman]

Ideally I'd like to set up a very basic private web site where everyone within an organisation can view a calendar (in TOC mode) that is not visible to anybody and everybody on the Internet. I can see, I think how I could set up a few users in the company with passwords, so they can use the Event Editor. I can see how that will (presumably) stop all but the most determined hacker from messing with the data.

If I want the data on the calendar to remain private, presumably I need to delete all the example bits of PHP, in the main directory, that display the calendar information and then work on a way of putting a display page behind a password for all the other members of the organisation to be able to browse the data.

The only other idea I had was to take advantage of the Event Editor page requiring the password and to incorporate the TOC display on that too.

Apologies if this is all a bit basic. Is there anything I should be reading that sets out some of the main possibilities for next steps?

Thanks again.

You could delete all of the demo files and give logins to each person to view/edit the calendar.

Or, you could put the TOC demo file behind a password (something you'd create) and leave the admin only for people that need to manage the events.

You could also create another password protected directory (something you'd do at the server level) and integrate the TOC mode into it.

The Event Manager only uses the smaller calendar and not the TOC mode calendar.

Thanks Brian. I'll go for option 2 or 3 I reckon - whichever I suss out the quickest probably.

Thanks for the tip about the Event Manager too; I'd have probably wasted quite a bit of time trying to make a page that had both the TOC mode calendar and the Event Manager on it, had you not mentioned that. Thanks again.
