Configure the Events widget

Configure the behavior of the community Events widgets by checking out the calendar-config.xml file and editing it directly.

To access configuration files, use wsadmin.sh.

Check out the calendar-config.xml file, edit configuration properties, and then check the file back in.

1. Start wsadmin...
   cd app_server_root/profiles/Dmgr01/bin
   ./wsadmin.sh -lang jython

2. Check out the calendar-config.xml configuration file:
   execfile("connectionsConfig.py")
   LCConfigService.checkOutCalendarConfig("/tmp","cell_name")

3. To get cell name...
   print AdminControl.getCell()

4. Open calendar-config.xml in a text editor.

5. Edit any of the following configuration properties:

   Option	Description
   maxRepeatingCount	Maximum number of instances of a repeating event. The default is 700.
   allowCommentsFromNonCommunityMember	Whether to allow all logged in users with access to the community to comment on the event. Default is true. When the property is set to false, only community members can comment on the community events.
   icalFeed	Specify the range of time for displaying events in a personal calendar. We can specify two values: startFrom specifies how old in months an event can be. endTo specifies how far in the future in months an event can be. The default value for startFrom is -6. The default value for endTo is 12.

6. To check in the changed calendar-config.xml file:
   LCConfigService.checkInCalendarConfig("/tmp", "cell_name")

7. Deploy the changes:
   synchAllNodes()

8. To exit the wsadmin client, type exit at the prompt.

9. Stop and restart all the Connections application servers.
