This screen contains global options that affect all calendars in the installation.
Set this to the base URL that people use to access the calendar, e.g., http://www.yourdomain.com/calendar/. This value feeds into the various EMail messages that reference the site.
This is the URL to the page on your site that displays the calendar. If this value is present, and an inbound-link is detected from a social networking site (from_social=1 is a URL parameter), then the view event details page will display a link to the calendar with this URL. If this value is not present, the Base URL is used.
By default, when connectDaily writes URL to view event details, for inclusion in social media posts or other areas, it references the cloud calendar's ViewItem.html pages as the target. You can use this value to supply a URL that you want to use instead. You can use this in conjunction with the plugins View Event Details shortcode.
For example, you' would create a page on your site that uses the plugin/extension's View Event Details short code, and then enter the value here to point to that page. Then, when connectDaily writes a social medial URL to view the details, then that page will be referenced.
Enabling this feature allows you to create and assign locations to events. In order for a user to create new locations, they must have the permission "Location: Add".

If you enable location entry for events, the events can also have a link to a map service provider displayed. You can control which map service provider is called by changing this value. For example, if you're a state agency with it's own GIS database, you can have it called when someone wants to map a location.
If a user is logged into connectDaily but does not make a request (change pages, view a calendar, etc), after a certain period their session is expired. When the session is expired, the user will be required to login again. This setting controls how long a session may be inactive before it is timed out. Allowed values are from 1-4 hours. Because each session consumes resources on the server it is not possible to set sessions to never timeout.
If this option is set to Yes, then preferences selected by Guest Users will be retained between browser sessions. If the option is set to No, then Guest User preferences will not be retained. Preferences affected by this include:
If you will have many Users sharing computers, then you will want to turn this option on.
Enabling this option will cause connectDaily to send web pages to the browser compressed in the GZIP format. This can result in a compression factor of six (6) times. This can make your calendar noticeably faster to end Users. Our testing indicates requests serviced per minute were reduced by 2.3% when GZIP compression is enabled. The program will automatically detect if this is supported by the browser. This feature may not work on certain servlet engines and connectors. If it works with your installation, we recommend that you enable it.
If this option is set, then a User will be required to use SSL to login to the calendar and all internal pages will require SSL. If the browser is not using SSL, then it will be re-directed to the page using SSL.
