Every ".php" file has a delimiter line in it, which looks similar to the following:
#### NOTHING BELOW THIS LINE SHOULD NEED TO BE CONFIGURED ####
This line is present to help show you where the items are located in each
file that may need to be configured for your system.
- In the file
"calendar_config.php", edit the line which
looks like:
$CGI_DIR = "/cgi-bin/calendar/";
to a partial URL which points to the location of the calendar php
files on your system.
- If your system is configured such that your php files need to end
with another extension such as ".cgi" instead of ".php", edit the line
which looks like:
$FILE_NAME_EXTENSION = ".php";
to reflect the extension you need. NOTE that if you do change the value,
you will need to rename ALL of the files ending in ".php" to have the
same file extension as you provided!
- Set the appropriate file access permissions.
- On Unix, set the permissions of each php file to 755 (rwxr-xr-x).
This can be done through the command "
chmod 755 *.php".
- On Windows, make sure each php file has the appropriate read and
execute permissions.
- The file "calendar_config.php" and the directory it is stored
in will need to have appropriate write permissions so that php
can write to it for updates when called through the web!
This typically means the file calendar_config.php and the directory
it is located in must have world-write permissions.
You should now be good to go (unless you are configuring the DEMO
VERSION - see below)!
See the configuration section Create A New Calendar
after the system has been configured,
or walk through the tutorial to create your first calendar!
DEMO USERS:
Since the demo only supports one calendar, it has already been "created"
and configured. However, you need to edit a few
more items.
In the file "config_files/demo_configs.txt":
- The values for
IMAGE_DIRECTORY and MONTH_DIRECTORY
directory need to be edited to reflect the location of the images
on your system. The values should be either a partial or full URL.
That is, it should start with either "http://" or just "/". The string
should have a trailing "/" character, and the value should be enclosed in quotes!
- Examples:
IMAGE_DIRECTORY="/calendar/images/"
MONTH_DIRECTORY="/calendar/images/months1/"
IMAGE_DIRECTORY="http://www.yourdomain.com/wherever/gfx/"
MONTH_DIRECTORY="/wherever/gfx/months/"
- Besides the default "administrator" and "webmaster" logins,
the default user assigned to the calendar is "user1" with a password
of "password". To add, edit, or delete users, you need to edit the value
for
CALENDAR_USERS. The format for this value is
username::password with multiple entries separated by a comma. The entire
string should be enclosed in quotes.
- Examples:
CALENDAR_USERS = "user1::password1,user2::password2,user3::password3"
CALENDAR_USERS = "joe::blow"
- Finally, you need to specify the FULL OPERATING SYSTEM PATH to
the directory where the datafiles will be stored -- that is, the
"data" directory that came with the demo. DO NOT SPECIFY A URL!!!
The value you need to change is for CALENDAR_DATA.
- Examples:
- Unix:
CALENDAR_DATA = "/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/calendar_demo/data/"
- Windows:
CALENDAR_DATA = "D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/calendar_demo/data/"
- Read through the file "calendar.php" to see the other
configuration items you can set in the "demo_configs.txt" file.
Once you have set the configurations, you can access your calendar
through a URL similar to the following:
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/calendar_demo/calendar.php?dept=demo
The query string "?dept=demo" MUST be present to run!
Enjoy!
