I am guessing that there have been major changes to the way that FE editing is enabled on the Calendar Base extension? The typoscript I had previously been using no longer works.

Here's what I've done so far:

1.) Inserted Cal plugin on page with allowed views: Month, Admn Options, Create Event, Edit Event, Delete Event
2.) On main page (1 level above), inserted extension template in which I included static (from extn) Default CSS styles (cal), CSS-based template (cal), and Fe-Editing (cal)
3.) Enabled FE editing through the Constants editor
4.) Entered my FE user UID in the Frontend Calendar Admin Users under Constants Editor

When I go to the Calendar page, I see the icons and the admin option, but when I click on any of them, it just reloads the page. If I click on the Admin icon, I get a blank page with Calendar Administration header.

Here's my Typoscript (Constants):



Any advice?

Thanks,
Barbara

OK, after a little more experimentation, it seems that if I edit the plugin settings or the Template constants and save, the FE editing works one time. After that one time, when I click the edit or new buttons, the page just reloads.

argh...refreshed the page and it double-posted again. sorry

Sounds like too aggressive caching (the cache is invalidated when changing plugin settings, this is why it works once).

If my guess is right, disabling caching for this page should help.

Thanks, Christian! Setting "No Cache" in the Page Properties did the trick.

Hey Barbara,
Just an FYI...If you're on the latest release, this should work again out of the box. Basically, we're forcing it not to cache if we detect that its in frontend editing mode.

Jeff,

Thanks for this update. We're currently using Typo3 v. 4.1.5 with Calender Base v. 0.16.2. I'm having issues with the rich text editor in FE edit mode ... Sometimes it extends over the top of the Cancel/Save button (when it's like this, I have to switch to html mode in the rte to add/edit anything), other times it is 1 line high and a bit difficult to read :S At first I thought maybe it was some CSS conflicting, but it's somewhat inconsistent (at least what I see in Firefox).

Any thoughts? I can give you access if you need to see it in action.

Thanks!
Barb

Barbara,
I'd first try upgrading to 0.16.6. There have been some frontend editing enhancements but I'm not sure if anything would have touched the RTE. Like you, I would say CSS if it weren't inconsistent....

Thanks,
Jeff

I am getting exactly the same behavior using Cal 1.0.0 and TYPO3 4.1.5. Were you able to solve this issue with Front End Editing?

Thank you -- Tony Lush

Tony,
It shouldn't be an issue anymore in 1.0, but you can try the workaround mentioned above of setting the page to be uncached. If that doesn't work, then it may be a different issue.

Thanks,
Jeff
