F A Q

Q: Is there any context sensitive help?
A: If you click on the title of a section, the respective help screen will be shown in a new window.

Q: What happens if two events are in conflict?
A: If the conflict arises, the second event will not be created and you will get a warning message on the screen.

Q: Can I insert events with a duration of less than 15 minutes?
A: Of course. But if you have two short events in a row, only the latter could be displayed in some views, e.g. the weekly table.

Q: How can I insert events which take days, weeks or months?
A: Select 'daily' in the field for repetitive events and state the last day of your event in the next box in the format DD-MM-YYYY.

Q: Why is there a field 'note'?
A: 'Note' actually means 'comment' but that was too long for the frame :-) Notes will only be shown to you in the day-table in the middle frame. You have to move your mouse over the blue box beside the text of the event and a popup (ALT) will appear with your "field note" description.

Q: How can I create events and hide the description?
A: Create the event with an empty text-field and put the description in the note. But keep in mind: there is no encryption, so at least the sysadmin could be able to read it ...

Q: How can I watch my events in different views?
A: The day view: click on a day. The week view: click on the week number at the side. The month view: select a month and year in the box and click the submit-icon. All events through the link 'list of events'.

Q: I want to delete several events, but it goes a bit 'pedantically'.
A: Switch to the list mode! Each event has a red button at the side where you can delete this event. Refer to the calendar help, more detail is specified there.

Q: How can I avoid the password request at the beginning?
A: I hope never :-). But there's an abbreviation: Add to your link the following: loginstring=name&user_pw=password (hint for admins: $login_kurz in the config must be set to 0)

Q: Can I create 3 groups with 450 users in total?
A: Well the system can handle this, no doubt, but you will get problems with some masks: it will be difficult to select several users in a select box out of e.g. 200 entries!
My hint: groups with appr. 40-50 users are good to handle.

Q: I don't want to join a vote! How can I avoid it?
A: Just send an empty form! Your submit will be added to the category: 'no vote'.

Q: The table of addresses is too broad for a page.
A: While printing go to the printer properties and in orientation select "Landscape". This will help you print the page with all the tables of addresses.

Q: How can I insert an event to a calendar of somebody else?
A: Log in as a user with chief status. The last link in the left frame leads you to the form.

Q: My chat doesn't work!
A: The reason could be that your webserver does not have the privilege to write files in this folder. Try 'chmod -R 777 'your phpprojekt directory'. Do it only if you know what you are doing, or rather best contact your sysadmin or provider to fix this.

Q: Is there any way to increase the max file size that can be uploaded?
A: Raise the variable 'upload_max_filesize' in the php.ini to a value like e.g. 10M

Q: I don't have a "new" button to open a new project as in the demo-site
A: Login as a user with 'chief' status to create new projects

Q: when i click event list i get this in a firs row of a table: CommentDay Begin End Text Comment", but there is no entry!
A: In the default view only future events are displayed. to get all events you have to select the checkbox 'entire list'

Q: Is it possible to assign time to project in the past? I selected a day but no poject entry shows up!
A: of course it possible - but:
  • the project must have the status 'at work/working'
  • the start and end time of this project must include the selected day
  • you must be a member of theis project
  • you must have a valid timecard entry for this day

  • (the last condition is not necessary if in the config $projects has the value '3')
