Seedcode calendar to display related events

[kenneth2k8]

Hi everyone:

I was able to integrate the seedcode calendar into my solution and I must say I am very pleased. However My solution is a multi-user environment and the login users are based on a users table. When a user logs in, a series of scripts control the records that the user can see.. which are only the ones they are the owner of based on a User field.

My problem is that the calendar displays off the events file and I must admit I am not that strong with relationships but it seems to me I need a way to make the events table only display related records, but even if I constrain it to a found set of the user's records, the calendar still displays all events regardless of the user.

I hope this makes sense. If anyone can point me in the right direction then I am most appreciative. Thanks!

Thanks, I registered and will post as soon as I can. I've seen some seedcode help on here too so if anyone have knowledge of it please let me know if you can help anyways. Thanks,

Hi Ken,

We can certainly work on this on the SeedCode Forums, but I thought I'd leave a quick reply here so anyone following this wouldn't have to chase it down.

You have two options for restricting which events a user can see, and you don't need to mess with relationships for either of them. =) You can use FileMaker's Access Privileges to make sure the logged in user only sees their events, or you can use the filter's built in to our calendar to restrict who can see what. Instructions for both methods can be found here: http://www.seedcode.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=SeedCodeCalendar.OnlySeeMyEvents

I find using filters to be faster, especially if you have large numbers of appointments, though you may still want to use access privileges to enforce who can *edit* which appointments.

Hope that helps,

John

Yes, that helps immensely. Tomorrow I will read up on the link you sent and try to implement the fix you give here. I appreciate your help on the matter. This calendar has been a God-send. I needed a calendar feature for my solution but I was intimidated by creating one myself. This was actually very easy to integrate into my solution, and does everything I need! I am very impressed and if anyone has the opportunity to check it out, they should do so!

Thanks again.

Yes, this is exactly what I needed! I used the filter. Thank you again for making this simple.
