How can I create an event in the calendar that will automatically go to a specified URL? Putting an href in the title does not work - it still goes to the event description. |

If you have an event title like: <a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Go to Yahoo</a> On the *public* view of your calendar, that should redirect to Yahoo. When you're signed in, it will take you to the Event Editor (otherwise, you couldn't edit that event!) ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

You are correct, I think our change that does roll-over highlighting on events, and some other UI changes broke this feature. Although it was probably broken for months before the recent UI upgrade. The developers are aware of the issue and are looking into how a custom title url can work with the new functionality. There is a possibility that we will not support this feature anymore since there has not been a lot of demand for it, and there are some complexities to adding it. ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Hello all, I second the need for this option. My first choice would be to auto-disable if the description field is null, or a switch to disable on each event, or a universal setting to disable. I hear you that a lot of people are not complaining, and that it never should have not worked in the first place, but for me, it is something that profoundly hurts the functionality of embedding the calendar in my site, which I am otherwise super happy with. Thank you! Jonathon |

I agree with bostonwineschool. We pay for premium service and this was standard functionality for a long time. It makes our website look second rate now. I like everything else about localendar and don't want to have to start looking for another solution. Please allow us to disable pop-ups again soon. |

Marc, When can we expect this issue to be resolved? It's been over four months and it really makes our website look unprofessional to have these extra pop-ups that we didn't have before. Thanks, Waukesha Civic Theatre |

As I initially mentioned, there is a possibility we will not support this feature. We are working on some other items which are actual bugs, so this has been pushed back a few times. The problem, as I mentioned, is complicated by the issue that there is another behavior that has replaced this one (and this was a behavior we intended, rather than one that was accidental) We have been trying other workarounds. For example - try this: Create a new event called "HTML redirect" and click the HTML button on the Description toolbar. Paste this code: <script> self.close(); window.opener.location.href='http://www.yahoo.com'; </script> Then save the event. Try clicking on it from your public calendar view. There will be a temporary pop-up, but this code seems effective on most browsers. ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Thank you very much. While not perfect, that is a completely acceptable solution to our problem. Thanks again. |
