embed a private calendar on a password-protected site?	Reply to this Post Reply with Quote

I really like your calendar - easy to use, customize, and maintain.

I have what must be an unusual situation, since I haven't yet found a solution for it. I have a members-only community website, and we maintain a calendar. That calendar should be available to all members, and they should be able to add events if they wish (through the embedded calendar). I don't want to make the calendar public anywhere else. I don't want to add each member to localendar in order for them to be able to access and add to the embedded calendar. I'm in the testing stages right now, and I'd very much like to be able to use your premium service.

Can you help?

A bit of a kludge, but this is what I would do in your situation...

I would create a member called NPOCA_members (or something), and I would add that member under Premium->Sharing. I would also allow visitors to Add Events under Options->General.
(and select "Allow access only by specific members")

On my "members only page", I would create a link that actually posts the login information for that account. So when someone clicks the link, they are actually signed on as NPOCA_members and can use the Add Event button on the bottom of the calendar to add their info.

The HTML for doing this would be... (and I just took this from the logon page you see when you try and access a protected calendar)

<FORM action="http://www.localendar.com/elsie?DAM=Logon" method=post>  
<INPUT name=error_page type=hidden value="Security/LoginRequired">  
<INPUT name=next_page type=hidden value="Redirect">  
<INPUT name=redirect_url type=hidden value=http://www.localendar.com/public/mogrinz>
<INPUT name=username type="hidden" value="PUT MEMBERNAME HERE">  
<INPUT name=password type="hidden" value="PUT PASSWORD HERE">  
<INPUT type=submit value="Go to Calendar"> 
</FORM>
