Is it possible to add new events from outside the easyPHP Calendar?

Hello...
I think your calendar is easy to use and just a great tool.

However I have a few questions before purchasing:

1. - I would like to access the database directly and add records using phpMyEdit. When adding records these events are not display in the calendar. Is there a way to enable this?

2.- I am using the calendar to keep a current up to date class schedule and instead of the "Short Description" I would prefer to label it "Room Name". I also use the categories to color code the different rooms. I tried unsuccessfully modifying the message in the language file but your program stopped working. I was forced to re-install.

3.- Do you have a template for displaying the calendar in TOC mode and two small ones showing a previous and future?

Thanks!

1) You can do this, but you'd need to match all of the database elements before it will work. You may want to add some events similar to the ones you want to add and look at each table field and see what should be entered manually.

2) You can change the text to Room Name by editing the English.inc.php file in the languages directory. You may want to make a backup in case the file get corrupted when making the changes. This should eliminate the issue you had earlier.

3) I don't have one that I can paste here readily, but it should be easy. However, it will require a little PHP programming. If it's something you'll use, I should be able to write this for you...

3) I will definitely use it. If you can past the code that would be fantastic.

What I did was to put some events into the calendar through the interface, then exported the table. Then I copied the rows so that all the settings were correct. Then I just changed the details I wanted to change, e.g. the date and the text. The only thing was that I had to figure out how to convert the date into numbers, which I did using Excel.

Then I imported the file.

Worked great.
