Configuration and permissions

WirdAll synchronisiertsettings …are found under System → Plugins → DPCalendar - Backend Booking. This chapter explains every option and the permissions required.

Options

OptionDefaultMeaning Calendars— Only events of these calendars are bookable in the backend. Subcalendars have to be selected explicitly. With no selection, backend booking is disabled. Default statusActive Status a new booking receives when the status field is left empty (active, waiting or invited). Create a user account for guest bookingsAs configured in DPCalendar Automatic account creation for guest bookings — details in the chapter A user account for guest bookings . Send emailsYes With no, all DPCalendar booking emails are suppressed for backend bookings (confirmation, notification, invoice) — including the registration email of any account creation. Period (days)365 How many days ahead events are offered in the selection. Max. list entries100 Upper limit of the event selection. When it is reached a notice appears; narrow the list down with the filters then. Max. users per booking run25 Upper limit of the multi-user booking. Additionally limited by the PHP setting max_input_vars.

Permissions

The button and the booking pages are available only to backend users who hold the following rights:

Create bookings for other people — the DPCalendar action dpcalendar.admin.book. You grant it to the user group you want under Components → DPCalendar → Options → Permissions. Super users have it automatically. Book in the respective calendar — DPCalendar's calendar permission. It applies per calendar and is checked in addition. For the automatic account creation, also the Joomla right to create users (permissions of the user manager). Without it, the booking is saved without an account and a warning is shown.

Privacy

The plugin stores no data of its own — all recorded bookings live in the regular DPCalendar tables and are subject to their deletion and export mechanisms. The user search of the multi-user booking is available only to authorised backend users and returns name, username and email — the details the Joomla user manager shows anyway.

Applies to version 1.0.6.
