Geeklog Forums

I've recently installed Geeklog 1.3.8-1 and have what is probably a very basic question but I haven't been able to find anything about it.

How do I set it so that the Calendar can only be accessed by members?

I only want the calendar to be used by friends, and do not want any of the information publicly accessible. All help appreciated

You can block the calendar from anonymous access by setting in config.php.

That will still let everyone who becomes a member of the site see the calendar. But you can make use of Geeklog's permission system to make all the events only visible to members of a certain group. In other words: Create a new group, say, "friends", and assign all your friends to it. Then assign all the events to that group as well and make sure you uncheck the "Members" and "Anonymous" checkboxes for them.

Thank you

My problem is slightly different.
How do I change the DEFAULT security settings for a new Event item?

I have set everything as you say, so that only members can submit calendar items.
I have also added five users to Event Admin group.

Every time one of them creates a new event, the default is:
Group R yes
Group E no (should be yes)

Anon R yes (should be no)

This is a problem because these admins always forget to change each item, and then none of the other Event Admins can edit that item, only the creator can.

Is there a way to modify these defaults?

Thanks
