Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way but I'm having trouble with setting
up access privs on my Schooltool calendars to work right.
My goal is to have a publicly viewable calendar that contains the overlays
from all the other calendars in the system that have been set to also be
publicly viewable.
Hi Hoover,
Although SchoolTool has public calendars, it is more oriented toward
internal communication than external. The top-level, schoolwide
calendar does not aggregate other calendars, but it does show up as an
overlay for all users.
My understanding at the moment is that if a calendar is set so that
"unauthenticated users" are given "view" and "view calendar" rights, the
calendar can be viewed by anybody on the Internet with the right URL. Is
this correct?
Yes.
Lastly, with subsidiary calendars set for public viewing, I can set up one
calendar as the "master" one and with the right URL, I can set up my
school Web page with a "calendar" link which will take the user directly
to that calendar without encountering an authentication wall. They can
then pick and choose the views based on the calendars that have been
overlayed.
The overlays are for user's own calendars. You can't create a set of
overlays for the school calendar or a group or resource calendar.
That is, you can only pick and choose overlays when you're looking at
YOUR calendar.
Is this the correct interpretation of the Schooltool Calendar feature set
or am I looking at this all wrong.
So unfortunately, you're looking at it a bit wrong. We're stuck in
bugfix only mode with the paid time we can devote to calendaring, but
the feature you describe is definitely something we'd like to have.
If someone could implement it, we'd add it to future releases.
