Webmaster Configuration Form

This part of the configuration form provides an interface to allow a calendar's "webmaster" to configure solely that calendar.

Accessing

A "webmaster" can only access the configuration form once a calendar has been created that they are designated the "webmaster" of. The webmaster interface will only show the interface allowing a webmaster to configure specific items for the calendar, as well as allowing the webmaster to "View/Edit Event(s)" on the calendar. The default URL for accessing the webmaster interface to the configuration form is similar to the following:

• ASP: http://www.yourdomain.com/scripts/calendar/calendar_config_form.asp?dept=calendar_webmaster_of



• Perl: http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar_config_form.pl?dept=calendar_webmaster_of



• PHP: http://www.yourdomain.com/scripts/calendar/calendar_config_form.php?dept=calendar_webmaster_of

where "calendar_webmaster_of" is the "abbreviated name" of the calendar the webmaster is assigned to. Thus, if the webmaster is assigned to the "hr" calendar, then the url to access the specific configuration form for the hr calendar should be similar to :

• ASP: http://www.yourdomain.com/scripts/calendar/calendar_config_form.asp?dept=hr



• Perl: http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar_config_form.pl?dept=hr



• PHP: http://www.yourdomain.com/scripts/calendar/calendar_config_form.php?dept=hr

Note that this URL may vary depending the server's configuration. What is important is the "dept=". This tells the program to specifically access the webmaster portion of the configuration form. The administrator cannot log into the webmaster configuration form, just like the webmaster cannot log into the administrator configuration form!

The default webmaster username and password for a newly created calendar is "webmaster" and "password" respectively. It is strongly recommended changing these default values after the first login!

Once the assigned "webmaster" has accessed their calendar, they can set their calendar's settings, and/or view/edit events on the specific calendar.

There is one minor difference between the configuration form the "webmaster" sees as compared with what the "administrator" can see, and is shown in the screen shot below:



The "Edit Calendar Events" button only appears when the "webmaster" logs in. This is for the following reasons:

1. The "administrator" form already had a button allowing the "administrator" to view/edit events for a particular calendar


2. Gives the "webmaster" easy access to their calendar so they can view it right away


3. If this particular calendar is configured such that users are NOT allowed to enter events, the "webmaster" needs a button allowing him/her to do so.

See the subsections to Individual Calendar Configuration Items Explained in Detail for an explanation to each configuration item.
