Quick Thyme wrapper

To use Joomla's wrapper:

1) Log into Joomla's administration section

2) Click on Menu (at the top), then select the menu where you want the calendar link to appear. This is most likely called 'mainmenu'

3) Click on the New icon in the upper right

4) Select Wrapper under the Miscellaneous section and click Next

5) For name, enter the name that you want to appear on the menu item. 'Calendar' would do. In Wrapper Link, enter the URL to Thyme. Under Parameters on the right, select 'Yes' for Auto Height. Click 'Save'

You now have a menu item called Calendar that will bring up Thyme.

Having trouble getting single-sign-on to work?

First make sure that you are using the latest Joomla auth module for Thyme. Click on the 'Modules' link on the left of this page.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are using the latest, it is probably a URL mismatch problem. Web browsers will not tell Thyme about Joomla's login cookie if they are on 2 different sites. Usually one has a 'www.' in front of it, while the other does not.

1. Check configuration.php in Joomla's folder and make note of $mosConfig_live_site. Let's assume it's 'http://www.yoursite.com'

2. Check include/config.php in Thyme's folder and search for the line containing '_CAL_BASE_URL'. It may look something like this:

define('_CAL_BASE_URL_', 'http://yoursite.com/thyme/');

In which case, the 'www.' needs to be added so that it will match Joomla's URL. If, on the other hand, Joomla does not have the 'www.' but Thyme does, please remove the www. from Thyme's _CAL_BASE_URL_ setting.

3. Once you've downloaded include/config.php, made the changes, then uploaded it again (overwriting the existing config.php), single-sign-on should work.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If single-sign-on still doesn't work, it may be the wrapper URL.

1. Edit the wrapper menu item in Joomla. Make sure the URL for the wrapper matches Thyme's URL.

2. In some, rare cases, you may HAVE to add /index.php at the end of the URL. E.g. if you have:

http://www.yoursite.com/thyme

change it to:

http://www.yoursite.com/thyme/index.php

and save the menu item.

Single-sign-on should now work.
