[Php-calendar-discussion] Two small things

[Nathan B. <na...@sl...>]

Many thanks to Sean for php-calendar.  I recently installed version 
0.10.1.  Clean, simple to use, and just what I needed.  A very nice tool.


I noticed two things:

1.  On install I accepted the default for the table name prefix (phpc_) 
but the uid table does not get the prefix. If I had been adding these to 
an existing database it seems a likely conflict with a pre-existing table.

mysql> show tables;
+--------------------+
| Tables_in_calendar |
+--------------------+
| phpc_calendars     |
| phpc_events        |
| phpc_sequence      |
| phpc_users         |
| uid                |
+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)


2.  A very small thing.  When adding a new event to the calendar there 
is a drop down box for selecting AM or PM.  It seems counter intuitive 
to me that PM is selected by default, since AM comes before PM.  I've 
had a couple of users make the mistake of scheduling an event late at 
night by assuming that AM is the default.

Thanks again.  We are already getting a lot of use out of this program.

Thanks for the heads up on that. This is fixed in CVS and will be
fixed in the next version, but may cause some problems with upgrading.

It defaults to whatever time the event you're editing is or 6PM. Maybe
there's a better default time. That's just the one I picked.

I'm glad to hear it. I would like to start a list of sites using the
calendar to post on the website. Would you like yours to be added to
that? (This goes for anyone else reading this message too. If you want
your site linked, please send me an email. I'm going to put a note on
the website.)

Regards,
Sean

I see.  Well if you change it I'd vote for something in the AM, just so 
people who aren't paying attention don't accidentally schedule events 
for 11:00 at night.

I gladly would, except that I'm running it for internal use on a 
WAN/Intranet where there is nothing to link to from the Internet.  If 
you had a spot for "testimonials" on your site I'd put my .02 in there.
