CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi Bradley,

Did you ever find an answer for this one?  I'm encountering the same issue...

Thanks,
Karena

Thanks for the response -- I had a feeling that was going to be the solution.  I did have CGCalendar installed on my site but was running into a category problem that I can't seem to solve and doesn't replicate on calguy's system so I rolled back.  Guess I'd better start digging... 

Thanks,
Karena

Is there any way to fix this?  I need to add permission for a user to use this module

As discussed Calendar 1.0 was removed because of many issues users had with Backwards compatibility. It was turned into CGCalendar. It looks like the user permission issue has been solved in CGCalendar. That unfortunate part is you will need to set all of your events again in CGCalendar.

No, it hasn't been solved in CGCalendar.  That's what I am running and there is no Modify Calendar Permission in CGCalendar 1.1

bradsp wrote: No, never got a response. There is an updated module called CGCalendar that is the same version as Calendar. I installed that module and the permission was added.

I haven't used either yet so I don't know for sure. I am just reporting what I read (in this very thread). Don't shoot the messenger 

What version of CGExtensions are you running?  I'm not sure if that's related, but I do have the "Modify Calendar" permission with CGCalendar 1.1 and CGExtensions 1.15.2...

I am also running into problems with the Modify Calendar permission missing.

I am running:
CMSMS 1.6
CGCalendar 1.2.2
CGExtensions 1.16

Has any solution been found for this yet? I need to allow that permission for a user I am setting up. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I need this fix too!!!

Hi,

I had the same problem.

The only thing that worked for me was to insert manually a record into the permissions-table in the database with permission_name="Modify Calendar" and permission_text="Modify Calendar".
Be sure that youre 'permission_id' is unique (it doesn't matter what it is).

Versions:
CMS-Version 1.6.5
CGExtensions 1.16.2
CGCalendar-1.2.4
Calendar 0.8.2

grz.

that did the job, thanks dino

Sounds great! Do you think you might provide a more detailed explanation of what you actually did? Did you do this inside or outside CMSMS? Where is this functionality? If it is outside CMSMS what application did you use? Can you please go through the steps required to make this happen?

I too have run into problems with CGCalendar so that is not really an option for me. Plus I have no desire to re-input all the data. I wish CGCalendar was just compatible with Calendar.

Thank you bradsp. I ended up solving the problem by installing CGCalendar on my system. It works, although it is definitely not the RIGHT way to fix it. Just make sure that you do NOT use CGCalendar anywhere in your site. If you only use Calendar you shouldn't have any trouble even though you have two (conflicting) scripts installed on the same site. The only thing CGCalendar is there for is to lower end users the ability to modify the Calendar data.

This fix also worked in my case but be sure to increment the value in the [prefix]permissions_seq table to match the new ID that you add to avoid problems with other modules.  It is strange that the devs did not go with autoincrement for the column . . .

Cheers

critical patch, should be reported long time ago..

i'm using cms 1.9.2, cgcalendar 1.5.6, cgextensions 1.22.2 and problem still occurs..
