In webcalConfig.pm, set the variable 'create' to 0. If calendar creation is disabled, only calendar administrators can create new calendars from within his admin screen. It is a good idea to create and assign an admin calendar first before disabling anonymous calendar creation.

In webcalConfig.pm, the variable theAdministrator hold a list of comma separated calendar names, those users are calendar administrators. To assign calendar administrator, simply insert the calendar name into this list.

In webcalConfig.pm, modify the following variables

      'allowImageUpload'    => 0,
      'maximumImageFileSize'=> 100000,              
      'reviewImageUpload'   => 1,
      'ImageUploadReviewer' => 'a/b,c/d', 

as needed. If reviewImageUpload is set to 1, user uploads will be held till approved by upload reviewers. ImageUploadReviewer hold a list of upload reviewers.

The distribution contains a file webcal_cmd.pl that can be used to add/get events from the command line. You need to install this file somewhere in your command search path.

Yes if you're running webcal on a Unix server. There is a perl script wcaladd in the distribution. You need to edit the first 2 variables (the owner of your webserver) before using it.

wcaladd is a script that create a calendar on the command line. You can use it, together with a shell script to batch create calendars. For example, the following script create 100 calendars, test100 through test199.

 
   i=100; 
   while [ $i -lt 200 ] ; 
   do 
    ./wcaladd -u test$i -p pass$i -email test$i\@a.com \
       -spool /var/www/webcal/spool
    i=`expr $i + 1`
   done

No. Some features in webcal are hard, if not impossible, to translate to database queries. RDBMS support requires major overhull of the current code.

Soon. It is still work in progress.

Yes. You can either upload the document to your webserver, or privide a URI for your document. Please note that document uploading is controlled by a site configuration variable and maybe disabled by your system administrator.

The URL field on the event editor takes multiple entries separated by spaces. For a uploaded document, you can use ^o^/document_name or its full URL to link to it. For other document accessible on the internet, you have to specify its full URL to link to it.

One of the following icons is used to link to your document. It will be displayed near the event title. Click on the icon will open your document in a separate browser window.

Check the variables

 
      'fimgdirurl'=>"...",
      'imgdirurl'=>"...",

in webcalConfig.pm, see if you can retrieve anything using a browser from the URL fimgdirurl. If not, you need to reconfigure your webserver, or copy the image directory to somewhere under your webserver's main documentation tree; and modify the two variables accordingly.

One common problem is that the image directory is under your /cgi-bin subtree, which is not allowed by some webservers.

Most likely your webserver cannot write to the calendar spool directory. Make sure your webserver owns the spool directory.

If you want to customize your style sheet, go to the options screen and click on the Create Font Style link on the navigation bar. The CSS dialogue window will pop up. At the bottom of the CSS dialogue, there is a link that let you customize a personal style sheet.

You can define new CSS classes using the CSS dialogue. Your new CSS classes will appear in the Font menu on the event editor to let you select a CSS class for individual events.

Use the <iframe> tag. This will only work with recent browsers, like mozilla, opera, netscape6 and IE5.

You need to pass webcal at least the following args:

   c=navigation_table&w=CALENDAR_NAME&anonymous=1&width=WIDTH&height=HEIGHT  

where CALENDAR_NAME is the name of your calendar, WIDTH and HEIGHT are the size of small month calendar. A few additional args maybe passed to webcal. They are

cellcolor=#rrggbb	Specify the background color for weekday name cells.
gridcolor=#rrggbb	Specify the grid line color.
bgcolor=#rrggbb	Specify the background color.
noarrow=1	Disable the two month navigation arrows.

Here is the sample html code.

<iframe 
 src="http://path_to_webcal_cgi?c=navigation_table&w=calendar_name&anonymous=1&width=130&height=120"
 scrolling=no width=160 height=150 frameborder=0>
</iframe>

Yes, there is a calendar option "Ignore corporate calendar" on the calendar options screen. Select it will prevent a corporate calendar from adding events to your calendar. For existing corporative events, you have to delete them manually. For new calendars, you can use the "erase your calendar" form on the admin screen to clear your calendar.

Use the version command. While viewing your calendar, enter a URI like http://linux91.ma.utexas.edu/webcal/wcal?c=version in the location bar and hit enter. It should report back something like

OS: linux
httpd 5.006001
mod_perl 1.26

If webcal is not running under mod_perl, the server would be perl instead of httpd.

If you're running webcal 2.8.6 or later, click on the version string on the main header will issue the version inquiry automatically.
