Topic: Organization Support / Adding calendar

I am having trouble adding a calendar to our school account. We have one calendar for our library schedule and I went into calendar management to add a second calendar for the computer lab, but I can’t figure out how to access it. There is no link that I can see. Do I have to open an entirely new account for a separate calendar?

Also, how do I activate “reminders” to an event? I have input email addresses for our members, but when they add an event and schedule a reminder, nothing happens.

Topic: Organization Support / Embedding calendar in agenda mode

I would like to embed a calendar onto a webpage in agenda mode but the time column in my calendar is specified as all day on all entries so I would like to do the embedding without the time column since it all the same anyway.

Are there some codes that are needed to be appended to the generated code on the Guide for embedding calendars into your own web site page so that the display will only have two columns, namely the date and event description?

Appreciate any help on this.

Topic: Organization Support / Problem with Members

Once a “member” is created…it is a member of Famundo.com and cannot be deleted as far as I know unless you send an email to support asking for the member to be deleted. When you “delete” it from your organization, it only means that the member is not seen by your organization as a “staff” person. For more on the definitions of “member” and “staff” see my other post:

Topic: Organization Support / Problem with Members

All,

First of all I am very new. However, this doesn’t make any sense. I have added some test members and logged in. Then I decided to see what happens when I delete members and I did that but the system still thinks their members. I can still login as them and when I try to create members with the same username it says it already exists. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank You in Advance

go see my new topic some helpful tips for starting…

Topic: Organization Support / Some helpful tips for starting...

I had to kind of learn by hit and miss on how to set up the calendar for a group, but here are some helpful tips to get a better idea of how to set it up.

Tip #1) Administrators (admins): These should be the top people who have access to the settings area where you can add members and change display settings, school/organization details, calendar settings and security settings. For my calendar I made the admins the 2 teachers and 2 class representatives.

Tip #2) Members: This is a bit confusing as this word is use in two different areas in two different ways. First, when an admin sets up the organization, under school/organization setup it has a members category where you set up your members. There are two types listed Admin or Regular user. As stated above Admins have access to set up and change the settings, Regular users are just those who have access to use the Organization calendar. What happens at this point is that when you assign a user as a “Regular user” they then become “Staff” in all other areas of the calendar. In order to explain this I have to give an example of how the word member is used in the second way.

When you sign up someone as a regular user, they become both a “ataff” person on your organization calendar as well as a “member” of the full website of famundo.com. This is significant to note because when an Admin goes to “security settings” you will have 5 different choices of security a)No one (not shared) b)Administrators only c)All Staff d)All Staff and Members only and e)Public (everyone).

Now of these five categories this is what they ACTUALLY mean (from what I have been able to discover):
a) No one (not shared)...will be seen only by the person who created it OR the person it is assigned to.
b) Administrators only…will be seen by Administrators only
c) All Staff…will be seen by only the people who are “regular users” of that organization as well as the admins of that organization.
d) All Staff and Members…will be seen by all “regular users” & admins of the organization AS WELL AS all Famundo.com members! So technically anyone can see this if they signup for a free famundo.com account!
e) Public…will be seen by anyone without having to have a login or famundo.com account.

As you can see this would be very important to those who do not want to show the world the information on your organization.

Tip #3) When an admin sets up a calendar under settings, calendar, calendar management there are originally two types of categories of calendars 1) Family Calendars and 2)School/Organization calendars. What is important to note here is that the family calendars are actually attached to the “members-admins & regular users” of your organization. For each “member” you add to your organization there will automatically be a family calendar associated with that “member” under the family calendars category. You cannot edit these, except being able to change who can access them under calendar sharing. What these actually are, are calendars for each “member” to post what they want to. Anything posted to these calendars by the “member” can ONLY be edited by the “member” if it is to remain on the calendar. If anyone else edits it (say admins or other people allowed to edit it) then it will disappear. Do not ask me why this happens, I have not been able to figure it out. So you have a choice to allow them to use those family calendars to post what they want all people in the organization to know, or you may use them as calendars that only the “member” can use and then set those individual calendars to be shared by admins only or no one.

That’s all I have for now…I will post more tips on this later!

Topic: Organization Support / Unable to read/comment on blogs

I had this problem too.
The suggestion works by setting all articles and all blogs to be edited by Staff, but this also allows all “staff” to edit and we would like to have this solved. Is there any fix in the future so we can set the editing to admin without losing the ability for the staff to read the blogs?

Thank you!

Topic: Organization Support / Help!

Good morning Richard. By chance do you have an approximate date for the addition of the “search” function?

Thank you from a happy user.

Topic: Organization Support / Unable to add events

It’s been a long time since I tried to add events. Now, the process seems to go fine (I enter times, description, click to add) but nothing shows up on the Calendar. I tried using Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6. This is for https://hillsidebaptistchurch.famundo.com/calendars.

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Freda

Topic: Open discussion / Issues with Internet Explorer 8 & Google Chrome

On IE 8 I am unable to add or edit new calendar entries. Colors won’t print correctly (there is nothing wrong with the printer or ink)
I used a different browser, Google Chrome. I can edit and add items, but on the month view, all the entries are off by a week, ie Independence Day shows on June 27. The print view is correct though. Help – I am ready to give up on you!

Topic: Organization Support / ical subscription

2. I have this question as well?

Topic: Organization Support / Validation failed on iCal import

I am having the same problem as well.. The path im using is below and works in all other calendars i have tried.

http://creatorexport.zoho.com/strategicedge/grant/ical/Third_Date/ORGANIZER=Agent_Name&DTSTART=Seminar_Date3&DTEND=Seminar_Date3&CREATED=Date_Submitted&DESCRIPTION=city_emp_names&LOCATION=City&SUMMARY=Calendar_View_Company_name_and_total_attendees

That being said how often does famundo update ical feeds that are subscribed to? Is tehre a refresh button or are we at the mercy of whenever?

Topic: Family Support / Not getting email notifications for anything

We would like an email to go out to members when a change is made on the site, such as adding an event, a blog article, photos or something to the lists. It would be nice if this was a option we could choose or unchoose for each ‘function’. Is this available yet?

Topic: Organization Support / I can't see the events!

I did. What now?
