Been thinking about this since I set up my cal extension quite some time ago, before there were really standardized instructions and before I knew much about TYPO3.

I put all of my calendar sysfolder entries in the main System Folder included with the WEC Starter package of old. That means that they are buried with user logins, news items, templates, etc.

Is there a reasonably easy way to move the entries from that section and put them in a system folder specifically for cal data? Do I have to start over?

Thanks.

Hi Pete

( first do a Backup )

you can "move" them with phpmyadmin.
- Go into the Tabelle: tx_cal_event.
Run this SQL:



180 is the "old" Value 170 the new one ( adapt tis to your situation !! )

Manfred,
Good idea I was going to suggest a different way. For Pete who happens to be a database admin, your solution will definitely be the way to go. For others, there's a different way that takes a few more clicks but avoids the database. I started writing instructions on it, but then I realized we already have a how-to showing the steps.

Thanks, guys. One follow-up: will this affect anything else besides which sysfolder I point my pages to? (e.g. RSS Feeds, front page plugins, etc) I want to ensure that I have it correct before I mess around with everything. This will affect all Cal entries so I don't want to cause any issues.

(And yes, the DB route is definitely my preferred way to go. )

Hi Pete



don't think so.

For testing is the WEC-TYPO3 Server for PC installation alwas fine.
( Update the starter installation with your Site ( Mysql & Files ))

May I ask a very low priority question?
Is there a How-to for shifting one page item to multiple pages - for instance a sidebar menu to seven other pages? I am aware that it is wise to use reference rather than copy so that any editing of any of the "duplicates" will replicate in all instances of the page item. What is the most effecient method of doing this? I created a reference on each page to the original item but it meant a lot of clicking back and forth. I wonder if this is an area where clipboard can be employed?
Cheers,

Calum,
I think you're stuck with lots of clicking around. The other option would be to set up the content through Typoscript, but that's more useful if you want to use it on every page.

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Jeff,
Not the answer I wanted but one that reassures me that I am not missing out on some slick method that everyone else is using as a matter of course
