Some of the third-party vendors we communicate with do not want the "www", so we allow you to use both addresses. That said - you are free to remove the "www" for now, but both with/without should work (and that's what we are looking into) Sometimes, a web app will treat data sent to different subdomains (a.localendar.com, b.localendar.com, c.localendar.com, www.localendar.com) as not being completely separate (for security reasons). But for localendar, www or not, your category filters should be preserved (which is obviously not happening for www at the moment) More updates to come... ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Marc:
I just updated by website, removing the 'www' from my fully interactive embedded calendar. Sadly, this change does not work. All the strange occurences that I mentioned in a post above, such as checking and unchecking custom category boxes and nothing happening, are still there. You can see this by going to my website, www.ottawapark.org, and clicking on the Calendar tab. I viewed the source code, and it is correct (although I start with http:, and the code shown on my 'Publish my Calendar' page on the Localendar site deletes the http:). I tested on IE 11, Chrome, Firefox & Pale Moon browsers. All have the same problems. In fact, since I assume you have access to the 'Publish my Calendar' page on my OPWebmaster account, go there and select 'a fully interactive embedded calendar'. Then when my calendar appears, try to make unchecking and checking changes there. They don't work. And that page does not include the complete script for the calendar on my website, which is: <script src="http://localendar.com/public/OPwebmaster?include=Y&dynamic=Y&rss_link=false"></script> But everything DOES work when I just display the calendar here: http://localendar.com/public/OPwebmaster?rss_link=false. So you have a little more homework to do, I am afraid. Harry |

For me, removing the WWW, did the trick from the embed code. In fact, I think that was the "trick" I did last year that "fixed" this. One thing which always haunts me, is clearing the cache (or failing to). Categories seem to get 'stuck" or "set" and without clearing the cache, never seem to work 100% after the initial load. This is also true when setting categories to events. If the they are stuck, I don't even see all of them in the dropdown to select from on the add new/edit event screen. Clearing the cache, fixes this. I've actually placed instructions in header to tell users to clear their cache if they don't see everything. Whether they do or not is another issue. |

I spoke too soon. Newer iOS devices such as an iPhone6 running 8 or 9 (I've tested both) still have the problem, even when using urls without the www iPhone emulators don't necessarily demonstrate the issue. The actual device does. ***This is only if the calendar is embedded in the site. An example is lbsl.org/cal.html?PSC (Ignore the test messages.) On the first screen, which shows May 2016, you should only see 1 PSC event. Then going to the next month, you should only see 3 events for PSC, but on iPhone6s, you see ALL events for every team. Then going back to May, you should only see 1 event again, but instead you see 2 events (only one of which is for PSC). Basically, it loses its category filters after moving to the next month and using the different parameters and then even when going back to the original month, it still no longer has them...and still shows everything. Once they are gone, they're gone. Internal to the embed code, when it converts from this localendar.com/public/lbsl?categories=111 to this localendar.com/elsieJSP=PublishedCalendar&mode=PUBLISH_PUBLIC&search_type=M0&start_date=06/01/16&calendar_id=530644 when moving from one month to another, it loses the categories. Can you please investigate and fix as this is holding up the rollout of the calendars to 21 teams. Thx! ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by lbsl at May 4, 2016, 4:22:04 PM] |

More info...... The problem occurs with an Apple mobile devices running iOS 8 or 9. I physically tested with an iPhone6 and also tested with emulators for iPhones 4,5,6 and an iPad Air...all have the same issue when running iOS 8 or 9 ..but all other devices I've tried are fine (androids, old ipads, PC browsers, etc.) If I embed this code into a page, <iframe src="//localendar.com/public/lbsl?categories=111" marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling=no frameborder=0 border=0></iframe> lbsl.org/cal.html?PSC Looking at this page, (ignore/clikc-through the test messages) At first, I see one event in May. (that is correct) then click to June, and I see all events (incorrect). (category filters have been lost) then I click back to May and see more than one event. (category filters have been lost) To test, go to appetize.io and use the free 60 sec demo. Out of all of the iphone emulators I've tried, this one actually works like a physical iphone It doesn't matter which Apple device you use to emulate...if the iOS is 8 or 9, you'll see the problem. Switch over to a Nexus device on appetize.io and you won't see the issue. This is a show-stopper for me. Please help ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by lbsl at May 5, 2016, 12:08:43 PM] |

Is this the Apple iframe 3rd party cookie problem? http://www.mendoweb.be/blog/internet-explorer-safari-third-party-cookie-problem/ http://www.mythoughts.io/articles/iframe-must-die/#.VyrQIr6gbwB |

I think you have in fact found the cause of this problem. I have been testing all morning with different browsers, protocols, urls, etc and my results seem consistent with the behavior of Safari blocking iframe sessions (which is of course where we persist the categories that you have selected to filter) From Apple's dev forums:
Safari is not including information from an iframe embedded website as a site you actually visited. We're looking into alternatives that might work for Safari ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Can you please try using the "full interactive embedded calendar" publish style *instead* of the iframe? That may get around this issue. <SCRIPT src="//localendar.com/public/lbsl?include=Y&dynamic=Y"></SCRIPT> ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |
