Oops! when adding a new public calendar event
I get the following error when adding a public event from my calendar embeded within my webpage.

"Oops !

We encountered an error while trying to process your request.
Our system administrator has been notifed.

Please click here to return to localendar."

This has been tested in Safari on Mac, and IE 6.0 on PC

It only occurs the first time a user clicks the add event button. If the page is then refreshed, everything is OK. The problem returns when all browsers are closed ( and program is quit in Mac ), and a new browser is opened again, and the user clicks the add event button for the first time.

I thought it might be some of my HTML code, so I created a bare bones example:

http://egsa.seas.ucla.edu/calendar2.html

This does not occur if the public calendar is not embeded within my site.

Any ideas?

Ok. I figured out the problem. Its a security cookie issue. If the browser preference is set to only allow cookies from sites that you navigate to, the JSESSIONID cookie never gets set for the user from the embeded page frame, since that url was not 'navigated to' by the user.

any ideas on how i can get around this, or JS calls i can make to your server that would set the cookie?

Re: Oops! when adding a new public calendar event
You have figured it out correctly cool

Alas, I'm not aware of a fix. Typically, we've been recommending users use a different publish style (full page, for example) when using this feature.

Re: Oops! when adding a new public calendar event
is there some query_string parameter that i can pass, or some way to disable the "Add Event" button when embeding the fully interactive calendar in my site, and then create my own add event button that launched the full page display?

also, why does the "Printable View" link work?
