Image Options


This section allows the administrator or webmaster to configure the "Image Options" for the particular calendar.

Image Configuration Interface

Use Images for this Calendar

Setting this option to "no" will not allow any images be displayed. This includes the monthly graphics. The only way images might be displayed is if the option Allow Users to enter HTML in the Description is set to "yes" and the user inputs an HTML IMG (image) tag.

Setting "Use Images for this Calendar" to yes will allow all images to be displayed.


URL to the Calendar's Images

Must be a valid URL to the calendar's main image directory. The URL should have a trailing slash "/" character.

Examples:
  • /images/calendar/
  • http://www.yourdomain.com/image_directory/cal/


URL to this Calendar's Months Graphics

Set to a valid URL containing the monthly graphics to be used. The directory this URL points to should include the following files:

April.gifAugust.gifDecember.gif
February.gifJanuary.gifJuly.gif
June.gifMarch.gifMay.gif
November.gifOctober.gifSeptember.gif
next_month.gifprev_month.gif 


The URL should have a trailing slash "/" character. If no URL is entered and the "Use images" option is enabled, then a textual representation for the month will be shown.

Example URLs:
  • /images/calendar/month_graphics/
  • http://www.yourdomain.com/image_directory/cal/months/

See the section Images are not displaying if the specified URL does not display the images.

See the section Other Configurable Items on how to include custom images and/or not use those included with the archive.


Post Event Image Options

This feature determines whether a user can:
  • select an icon to post with or use as their heading (icons only)
  • provide a URL to an image to display with or use as their heading (images only)
  • all of the above (both icons and images)
  • none of the above (none)

The option "Use Images" must be enabled or the desired setting will be ignored. For example, if "icons only" is selected and the "Use Images" option is disabled, the icons will NOT be displayed.

Selecting "icons only" provides greater control over what images the user can post with their event(s)... users will only be able to select from the icons installed in the directory specified by the options "URL to this Calendar's Icons" AND "Full Operating System Path to this Calendar's Icons".

See the section "Common Problems" if images are enabled, but they will not display.

See the section "Other Configurable items" on how to include custom icons and/or not use those included with the archive.


URL to this Calendar's Icons

If users are allowed to use icons, the URL to their location needs to be specified here. The URL should end with a trailing slash "/" character.

Examples:
  • /images/calendar/icons/
  • http://www.yourdomain.com/image_directory/cal/icons/

See the section "Common Problems" if images are enabled, but are notloading.

See the section "Other Configurable items" on how to include custom icons and/or not use those included with the archive.


Full Operating System Path to this Calendar's Icons

If users are allowed to use icons, the full operating system path to the icon directory must be provided, with a trailing slash "/" character. The system path should start from the root node of the server's operating system. THIS VALUE SHOULD NOT BE A URL!!!

Examples:
  • Unix: /var/users/htdocs/images/calendar/icons/
  • Windows: D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/mywebsite/image_directory/cal/icons/

See the section "Common Problems" if icons will not display.

See the section "Other Configurable items" on how to include custom icons and/or not use those included with the archive.
