Web Calendar Plus: FAQ's
How many calendars can I generate?
The number of calendars you may
generate is
unlimited. The limit on the calendar is
in the number of events that are displayed and
is determined by the version you
purchase.
- Free version - 200 events per calendar
- Basic version - 400 events per calendar
- Advanced/Enterprise - unlimited events
If you need to generate more than one
calendar simply click on the File, Open Calendar menu
item. You'll be able to create as many
different calendars as you like.
How can I transfer the program and
calendars to a different
machine?Simply make a backup on one
machine and copy that backup file to the other
machine where you'll run the backup program and
choose to restore the data from the original
machine.
How are events counted?
Events are counted as anything that
appears on the calendar other than holidays.
Repeating items such as once a month events are
counted for each time they appear in the database
(not on the published calendar). For
example, if an event repeats 12 times, then 12
is counted towards the total number possible.
If you need to add more events in the BASIC version
simply delete the oldest events or upgrade to the
ADVANCED version.
How can multiple people enter
information into the same calendar?
There are two ways to have multiple
people enter information into the same calendar. One
method is via the Web Event Submission ability
present in both Web Calendar Plus BASIC, ADVANCED and
ENTERPRISE. An explanation of Web Events
can be found by clicking here.
The second method requires a copy of
Web Cal Plus Advanced for your
organization. Web Calendar Plus Basic will not
work.
Install Web Calendar Plus Advanced on
each user's machine. Even though you've
purchased a single copy you can still install it on
each user's machine within the same
organization. Designate one person as the
"calendar manager." All users including the
calendar manager can then add calendar entries.
When the entries have been added each user will
simply run their private copy of Web Cal Plus, click
on the File menu, Share Data with another Computer
and create a transfer file that can be emailed to the
designated calendar manager. The calendar
manager will then publish the
calendar.
The third method requires a copy of Web Calendar Plus
ENTERPRISE. This product version
will be installed onto a shared folder on your network
rather than on the C drive of your local machines.
Each user will simply have a shortcut that will point to
the shared network folder and thus all of the events and
settings will be shared.
How about updates for registered users ?
Web Calendar Plus has undergone many
updates primarily as a result of your feedback and
suggestions. Registered users now receive 12
months of free updates. After the 12-month period has
expired you can optionally purchase another 12 months
of updates. Charging for updates enables us to spend
more resources developing new versions rather than
letting the product stagnate. You must register for
updates from following link.
How does the mailto cloaking
technology work?
Before the advent of email spam robot
programs which systematically cull email addresses
for spamming purposes it was safe to publish your
email address on your website using the simple
"mailto :" identifier.
Unfortunately most people don't want their email
addresses harvested therefore Web Calendar Plus comes
with mailto cloaking technology which makes it
virtually impossible for a spamming robot to harvest
your email.
It works by using a combination of
defenses: JavaScript, not including the term
mailto in the text, hiding the
'@' symbol and encoding
the email address using ascii character
codes.
Encoding Example:
The email
cpsales@contactplus.com
is visible here and looks normal but it's
actually cloaked. If you
click on it or run your mouse over it you'll see that
it indeed works properly. The cloaking is
in the source code which is what the robots see when
harvesting email addresses. Look at the source
code to this page and you'll see how it was
cloaked.
By the way we've set it up so that you
can hide your email address use the cloaking
technology outside of Web Calendar Plus and in your
other web pages. Simply click on the Edit Menu,
Cloak Email address menu and you'll be able to
generate code to cloak any email address along with
the message text.
How do you turn on
cloaking?
Simply go to the Calendar Settings
screen, Generation Tab and make sure that the Use
cloaking option is darkened. You can then
simply prefix your email addresses within the
description of the event with the keyword mailto: -
make sure to put a colon after the mailto word and
before your email address.
