Question about User Roles and Visibility

Hello:

I've been trying out the calendar and I must say that is very nice indeed. But I do have a question about multiple users.

I have a site where there may be quite a number of users and I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to set up a calendar where an individual user can see ONLY THEIR events (and of course modify their events). I read through the documentation and it looks as if the only option is to set the "Strict" setting to on so that users can not modify other users events. That won't do for me in this situation.

My other option is to create a new calendar for each user that needs to only see his or her events -- but that gets a bit more complicated for me. If this is my only option then I need to know if I can do this programatically via PHP because I won't able to create them manually each time.

thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris,

You are correct. You can not set visibility of an event, only a calendar. So that will not do for you in this situation.

You can do this in batches using the user_calendar script here. Download it, save as user_calendars.php and upload it to Thyme's folder. Then go to http://your.site.com/thyme/user_calendars.php

Though this may not do exactly what you want either. It will create a calendar for each user and set that calendar as their default calendar. It will do this for every user.

Let me know if you have any questions at all.
