I searched the forum and read the docs in pgcalendar but with no luck.

Sorry for being such a n00b but i need a guide as to how i set up pgCalendar. It says in the README.txt:

Go to to the pgcalendar admin page:

Mark the tids to be used with the calendar module and select the date and text fields to be known by pgcalendar.

There are four calendar modes.

mode D : an event date (one date field)
mode D-D : an event start date and an event end date (two date fields)
mode DT : an event date & time (one date/time field)
mode DT-T : an event start date & time and an event end time (one date/time field and one time field)

Set the configuration parameters as guided by the text.

But i cant "set" anything, its just a bunch of text and a submit button. What do i need to do?

You need a publicationtype (tid) with at least one date field.

The admin part of pgcalendar checks all pubtypes for date fields. You will see a pubtype on the admin page only if at least one date field is defined for the pubtype..

What type of calendar would you like to create? Please tell me and I will help you out.

Ok, created a publicationtype with a date field and 3 text fields. When i go to the pgcalendar admin, i can now choose the publication type i created. But when i try to submit it, i am asked to fill out the mandatory fields, but i cant choose the 3 text fields i created in the dropdown menus under pgCalendar admin.

Type of calendar? I thought this was a ready made template for one kind of calendar. Is it possible to make a calendar with reoccuring events (every moday at 19:00 for example)?

Type of calendar:There are four modes (or calendar types if you like).

As for the text field, you can choose one of your text/html fields to act as the event description used by the standard templates. You are free to do what you like to do by modifiying the templates. Please read README.TXT carefully.

Finaly: No - reoccurring events are not supported in the first release.

I have created both text and html fields, but i cant choose any of them in the calendar administration - what to do, Claus? :-)

Well, you could give pagesetter admin permission to yor site and I will look into your problem.

It works fine now. I have corrected a small mistake in your pubtype 4.

The reason that you were not able to select a description field is that you did not define titles when defining your fields for the pubtype.

You must define a titlle as well as a name for each field or pgcalendar will not be able to offer you the fields for selection on the pgcalendar admin page.

One other thing: If you have defined just one date you have to select mode D - ref. the description on the admin page. And don't define the date as the pubtype's title field. The pubtype's title field should be the title of the event.

Working! Thanks for your help, Claus! :D ;)

Can you help me with the same problem?

Thanks,

Sorry, I would like to use the DT-T option. Will that allow me to have a small calendar on all of my pages that you can click a day or hover over a day to show what events are scheduled?

Thanks again,
