pnCPG version 3.2 released + 26 January 2006

Cas Nuy has released a new version of the postNuke add-on pnCPG that enables postNuke users to fully use cpg1.4.x

PostCalendar
The minimum requirements for running PostCalendar 4.0 successfully are: - PostNuke version 0.71 We have 0.762  - PHP version 4.0.6 : ''We have 5.1.4  - 16MB dedicated to PHP (this is the default,as a minimum)
 * TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS :

- make SURE that the APC engine is turned off in your php.ini ' this is now the number one hit in google for "APC engine PHP" congrats! ;) for info see http://www.webdotdev.com/nvd/server-side/php/alternative-php-cache-apc.html and we are not running it.  - look for ;zend_extension=/path/to/apc.so (Zend is a php optimizer) and ensure that the semi-colon is at the begining of that line, hence turning APC off We have followed the pnAPI and pnMDG, it is completely compatible with PostNuke 0.71 . The steps needed to install PostCalendar are: - You agree to be bound by the GPL license (what is it? see http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html ) . - untar or unzip or upload the PostCalendar distribtion into your /html/modules directory (how to upload into and how to access? you need an SSH or ftp account on that server and suitable software on your computer)  - Two directories need to be changed to world readable and writable, these are: /html/modules/PostCalendar/pntemplates/cache, and /html/modules/PostCalendar/pntemplates/compiled In *nix, you would “chmod 777 cache compiled”(what's it? this changes the permissions on those two files to allow them to be changed and run by any user on the server) This will allow the Smarty Template Engine to read and write from/into the cache and compiled directories. If you would like to change the path of these directories, you can change the value of $this→compile_dir and $this→cache_dir in the pcSmarty.class.php file to point to wherever you’d like templates to be compiled. Moving this out of the webroot might not be that bad of an idea. I don't understand this? I didn't have experiences about how to install tomcat apache, linux. Please help me.Thank you :: This is server security advice which you do not need to worry about yet. ' Now enter the PostNuke Modules Administration page: - Administration → Modules - Select the “Regenerate” link at the top of the page. This will “find” the PostCalendar module and you will see it in the modules list. It should say “Uninitialized” next to its name. - Click on “Initialize”, this will then automatically generate all the necessary tables, add PostCalendar specific variables in the module tables, if successful, you will get a “Module Initialized Successfully, now inactive” status message at the top of the Module Administration page. - Now scroll down the page until you find the PostCalendar entry and click on “Activate” Again PostNuke should reply with a status message that all went well. That’s it! PostCalendar is now installed on your system and you’re ready to use it. Please read both the “Block installation and configuration as well as the PostCalendar configuration” sections in this manual for the next few steps to a fully functional PostCalendar installation The PostCalendar Block installation follows the norms of PostNuke. But UNLIKE other blocks, you can have as many PostCalendar blocks on your site as you like! For instance you can have a center PostCalendar block displaying only today’s events, another just displaying the upcoming events another displaying the mini month calendar and yet another displaying all three... talk about flexibility!
 * GOTCHAS
 * INSTALLATION:
 * BLOCK INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION:

To add a PostCalendar block to your site, go to the PostNuke administration section and select Block and then New Block. - The initial block configuration form appears, now enter a Title for your block, let’s say PostCalendar - Select “PostCalendar/Calendar” from the Block pull-down menu - Select the language you want this block to belong to - Click “Commit” Now the PostCalendar Block configuration form appears where you can enter the Title, Position and Language here again (if you made mistakes in the block definition form I guess) If you want your PostCalendar Block to display the mini month calendar then select the check box against “Display the calendar?” “Display today’s events in the block?” allows you to select whether you want Today’s Events to be displayed in the block. “Display upcoming events in block?” allows you to select whether you want to display the future events. Do you want your users to have a quick access to search and submit events directly from the block? If so, select “Show search/submit links in block?” How many of Today’s and Upcoming events (individually) do you want to display in the block? Enter the number against “Display how many events?”. If you selected “5” here then 5 of today’s events AND 5 of the Upcoming future events will be displayed in the block (assuming that you are displaying both today’s events as well as the upcoming events in the block.) “How many months ahead to query for upcoming events?” This is a nifty new feature of PostCalendar, now you can select how many months ahead do you want PostCalendar to search and display in the “Upcoming Events” section of the block - very neat! Once you’re happy with all your selections, click the Commit button and the block will be created for you. You can of course go back to your Block administration screen and move the block up or down as per PostNuke’s procedures. “Refresh time for block (only used for blocks that pull information from outside sources)” Is not needed (yet!) in PostCalendar, so just leave it at default. To access the configuration sections of PostCalendar, please go to the PostNuke Administration pages and select PostCalendar
