Description
I'm brand new to Drupal. I've installed a few theme's, I've installed a few modules, I've played around with Drupal a bit. I thought that the WebCal looked like a good feature to try and install. I've spent about the last 90 minutes looking at the webcal install.txt but for the life of me, I can't figure out what your talking about 1/2 the time (for exampe step 8 says "edit ./includes/settings.php in the webcalendar directory" I don't have a ./includes in the webcalendar directory nor do I have a settings.php in the ./includes directory so I'm totally lost as to what your talking about). Any chance we could get better install directions for the 5.x install?
Thanks
#1
step one: requires the installation of the webcalendar program, not module
the step you are asking about, is in the inlcudes folder of the program that was installed in step one. not an includes folder in the drupal webcal.module

My understanding of the instructions. Does this clarify?
1. Install the WebCalendar application somewhere where it will be accessible below the path of your Drupal installation. For example, if your Drupal site is accessible at "www.mysite.com/drupal/" WebCalendar needs to be installed at "www.mysite.com/drupal/webcal/". This is due to the restrictions that browsers place on reading cookies.
When possible, install the webcal tables in the same database as the Drupal tables.
2. Copy the webcal module folder into your Modules directory.
3. Enable the module in Drupal.
4. In Drupal go to administer > settings > webcal to configure the webcal module.
5. Set the permissions for accessing webcal in Drupal:
access webcal = user can view public calendar
administer webcal = user can change the webcal settings in Drupal
(such as path to webcal, iframe properties)
login to webcal = user has their own calendar
webcal admin = user is a webcal admin
6. Change settings according to the version of WebCalendar you are using.
--If you are using WebCalendar 1.1.x:
a. Copy login-app.php from the webcal module directory into the root directory of your WebCalendar installation
(overwrite the existing file).
b. Rename user-app-drupal-1.1.x.php to user-app-drupal.php.
c. Copy into the ./includes directory of your WebCalendar installation.
--If you are using WebCalendar 1.0.x:
a. Open the webcal module folder.
b. Rename user-app-drupal-1.0.x.php to user-app-drupal.php.
c. Copy the renamed file into the WebCalendar installation's ./includes directory.
7. Edit the settings in the config section at the top of user-app-drupal.php
8. In the WebCalendar installation open ./includes/settings.php (or settings.php.org) and change the "user_inc" line to "user_inc: user-app-drupal.php" (without the quotes).
9. In Drupal, click the calendar link on the menu. You should see WebCalendar.

I agree. it is not very clear. I am still not clear about the includes directory.
