Pretty horrible update, the old version was 1000 times better.
This version:
– Has a very horendous interface
– Boxes and buttons not alligned
– Not intuitive GUI
– Login box not centered
Please bring back the old version
Good feedback…. thanks! Feel free to create issues on Github for anything you think is not working properly. There’s just no way to easily go backwards since the new code has security fixes that we can’t go without.
Hi i am facing issue with SMTP Connect failed i want to know where is your setting file
Go into “System Settings” and look at the “Email” tab. There are three different email sending options to choose from (SMTP, PHP mail, sendmail) that are all slightly different. You may have better luck with one over the other depending on your mail settings.
HTML in Add Event in 1.3 doesn’t work. The Flag is set to Allow HTML but there are no options
FCKeditor-2.0 is in the includes folder.
Having issues with the mail.
Its running on a mail server and that all works like it should.
Other scripts and tools send out mail however it does not matter what I select (PHP Sendmail SMTP) its failing on my site….
Any hints or tips……
Great work I like the Agenda al lot..

Have you checked your HTTP server logs (depending on your setup, it might be something like /var/log/apache2/error.log)? You might also trying running the send_reminders.php script from the command line and see if you see any errors.
My final suggestion would be to use PHPMailer and create a test script. I did this by placing the following in a file called test.php in the includes/classes/phpmailer directory (and replace the placeholders with your SMTP settings, name, email, etc.) and then running php test.php:
IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->Port = 587; // SMTP port
$mail->Username = "your-email-here"; // username
$mail->Password = "your-password"; // password
$mail->SetFrom('your-email-here@your-domain.com', 'Your Name Here');
$mail->Subject = "I hope this works!";
$mail->MsgHTML('Blah');
$address = "your-email-address@your-domain.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "Your Name Here");
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
?>
I have been trying for several days to install Web Calendar on Ubuntu 22.04. I have followed instructions from several sites.
All sites assume that Control Panel is being used. In my case I do not have it. I have my own server (ubuntu Client), MYSQL version 8.0.35 and PHP version 8.1.2. I set up a database, started the installation get splash screen with all checked ok except for Display errors. It ask for a password, I have tried several options with no luck it just get 500 error. Do you have any instructions on how to install it with out using a control panel.
Note that v1.3.0 does not work with PHP8. The latest code (v1.9.11 and later) support PHP8.
