RE: [Phpgroupware-users] New Users and Calendar questions

[Don Graver (dgraver)]

Thanks Dave.  What I will probably do is run a query on all the calendar events 
and if a cal_user in the phpgw_cal_user database table is a group that the user 
was assigned to, then I will update the phpgw_cal_user table to have that user 
added also.  Sounds like the easiest way to me.

As for Brian's response about every user wants to know the status of what 
people are attending an event via email, I would think that is the reason for 
the the "Participants" field when a user views an event.  

I was also wondering if there is a way to shut down a site quickly?  In other 
words lock out all users except for maybe admin, or block all IP addresses 
except certain ones.  I know I can do the ip address through an htaccess, but 
was curious if it is implemented anywhere else.

Also, is there a quick way to kill all sessions except the one you are using 
(i.e. admin).  We had a situation yesterday where I needed to have everyone 
logout and re-login, and going through 50 current user sessions was a pain.  By 
the way, I don't have root access on the hosted server unfortunately (don't 
ask)...so I couldn't just remove the sess_ files with a 'rm' command since the 
apache server owned the files.

By the way, does phpGW work with register_globals=off??  I think this was an 
issue in the past.  I am using the xx.512 build I think...not sure...I haven't 
done the latest cvs update since savannah went down a while back.

Thanks for the help.

Don

It is something that a few people have asked for, but is not easy to do.
 Events are stored by uid, and no gid info is stored in the db. 
Changing it so gids are stored when a group is selected, instead of it
being expanded to uids would be a great feature imho, but will cause a
lot of changes in the code.
