What are global, public and private events

PostCalendar 4.0 features global, public and private calendars. Users can now share their calendars if they wish. This is a very exciting feature and it is important for us to understand how this works:

Global PostCalendar entries are viewable by all. This must be switched on in the PostCalendar settings, by default users can only submit public or private events. Think of the Global arena as you are used to publish and view events in previous versions of PostCalendar where an admin or subadmin would enter an event themselves or approve an event before it is published.

Public PostCalendar entries are those PERSONAL events submitted by a user which are viewable by others by appending the user’s name at the end of the PostCalendar URL. For example, if you link to http://www.postcalendar.tv/index.php?module=PostCalendar&pc_username=mahmood you would see the PUBLIC events submitted by “mahmood”.

Private PostCalendar entries are those PERSONAL events which are viewable by the person submitting the event only and are not viewable by anyone else. Just like the name says, the events are private.

The PostCalendar Block will show global events as well as the logged-in user’s public and private events.

Do remember that in the PostNuke world, “Anonymous” is also a user! So if you link to http://www.postcalendar.tv/index.php?module=PostCalendar&pc_username=Anonymous you will see all the Public events submitted by the Anonymous users!
