Hello,
I am not able to install the webCalendar.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function set_magic_quotes_runtime() in /homepages/18/d681784932/htdocs/kalender/install/index.php:114 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /homepages/18/d681784932/htdocs/kalender/install/index.php on line 114
How to fix?
Thank you!!!
What version of WebCalendar are you trying to install? The current release does not use the set_magic_quotes_runtime call (which was removed from PHP in version 7.0).
set_magic_quotes_runtime error still exists in this version: WebCalendar-1.2.7.zip
1.2.7 is out-of-date now. This has been fixed in more recent versions.
I installed ver 13 and didn’t work okay. So I deleted it. Now will try 12.x to see what happens.
But, have a question: Is it possible to extend the calendar span, let’s say from year 1800 to year 1900 instead of the current year?
Yes, you can enter events for dates in 1800. However, you may have some user interface limitations trying to do so. The easiest thing to do would be do hand-edit the URL to get to the year you want to go to (as in “month.php?year=1800&month=3”). From there, you can double-click on a date to add a new event for the year 1800. But it may be difficult for users to navigate to those events since most of the pulldown menus are 10 or so years in each direction.
Why is it garbled when I type Chinese?
I’d suggest posting an issue on Github with some more details about what is happening and what settings you are using.
Client running v1.2.7 and needs to update.
What is the simplest way to update without losing the database?
Layout is easily fixed, but they have 5 years worth of events stored in database.
Thanks!
ALWAYS make a database backup before attempting an upgrade. The upgrade process is automated. See the intructions here:
http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/craigk5n/webcalendar/blob/master/UPGRADING.html
I am wondering if it is possible to eliminate some of the links at the top left (ie my calendar) in the public view. I just need the monthly display. I can put a button in the header for people to return to the main calendar if they click onto a date, and I don’t need the search or help links in my application
In “System Settings”, you can change “Allow top menu” to be “No”. This will remove the menu at the top and replace that with links at the bottom of every page.
Hi
I installed the current version 1.3 of the web calendar on my webspace with PHP 7.4.
Error messages appear during the installation.
Deprecated: Function get_magic_quotes_gpc() is deprecated in /home/www/webcal/includes/formvars.php on line 112
Deprecated: Function get_magic_quotes_gpc() is deprecated in /home/www/webcal/includes/formvars.php on line 81
The installation wizard shows green everywhere. But no user with a password is created during the installation. If I call up the calendar and enter any password, error messages similar to those during the installation appear.

This sounds like PHP 7.4 may have introduced some new warnings. Feel free to create a new issue on the Github page for this.
Im trying to install version 1.3.0 on php 7.4 and postgresql 13..
When i get to step 3, I do the installation without any problem, but the it says “This appears to be an upgrade from version v1.1.0e-CVS to v1.3.0.”, but its a brand new install of the latest version. and when i hit the update button it gives lot of sql error of trying to upgrade tables and colums that already exist in the database, and i cant pass this step.
This sounds like a bug. I see you’ve opened a new issue on Github for this, which is the best way to get this resolved. Thanks!
I was using wecalendar 1.2.7 with php5 and postgreslq9. I’m now using php8 and postgreslq 13.7.
webcalendar 1.2.7 errors with:

I think you may be one of the few Postgres users. I am currently trying to update the latest code in git (master branch) to work with Postgres. Changes will be included in the v1.9.12 release.
Hello,
I’m french and when I try to add an event with a word containing the letter “é” : the sql crash !
can you, please, help me ? I tried many solutions in working with UTF8.
Sorry for my english 🙂
Check the charset your MySQL database is using:
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_server';
If it is not utf8, then change it (replace your_database_name) with the WebCalendar database name:
ALTER DATABASE your_database_name CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
Good morning,
I’m French and in my language, i can use the letter “é”.
In the calendar, when I add or modify an event, if I put this letter in the title or in the description of the event, I have a sql error.
I try plenty solutions with UTF8 with no result. Can you help me please ?
thanks a lot, have a good day
The latest code has in the master git branch (about to be released as v1.9.12) has fixes for this and an updated French UTF-8 translation.
besides the user guide is there some where a person can get instructions on installing web calendar. I have been trying for over a month to get it to work. I downloaded several versions and tried them all. I guess the first question would be, do you have to build a database first and if so what are the privilege requirements.
It’s supposed to be so simple with the Web-based UI that you don’t need instructions once you get to the install/upgrade page. Obviously, that hasn’t been your experience. If you are using MySQL, you don’t have to create the database or tables, the installer will do that for you if you have sufficient access through a db username and password. Alternately, you can setup the db by hand using the file in
install/sql/tables-mysql.sql(which is what the installer uses).
