[SOLVED] Howto change the default duration of a meeting.

[kooma]

Hi.
I would like to modify the default duration of a meeting in the calendar. When I want to create a new meeting, the default duration is 1hour, and I would like it to be 15minutes.
I have another question : In the main display of the calendar, an hour is divided in 2 cells. Can we divided it in 4 cells ?
Thanks.

PS: Sorry for my english.

Currently there is no Option to allow you to change the default duration. However, you can file an enhancement request in bugzilla for this!

Again, there is no Option or easy way to change this. Is there a reason you want this other than visually you think it would be clearer to tell the duration?

I resolv it like this:
# su - zimbra

$cd tomcat/webapps/zimbra/js
$vi ZimbraMail_all.js
//Go to line 48598
//modify HOUR_HEIGHT var to 84 instead of 42
$cp ZimbraMail_all.js ZimbraMail_all.js.
$gzip -S zgz ZimbraMail_all.js.

Refresh your page and now you will have 4 cells per hour...

Enquer-
Is this still applicable in 4.5? Not sure what version you were in and afraid to make the change and break something. This is very important to me.

Thanks

We tried this and Tomcat won't restart.

Sorry, had nothing to do with the change. Change however does not work to expand view to quarter of an hour. Again, does this work for you still? Have you done anything else?

Thanks

Oh man. Don't do this.

I'm pretty sure it won't work because we were on 3.0 (m1/m2) at the time of posting.

The code has changed a lot since then, and also, the change wouldn't have survived an upgrade.

You'd be best to e-mail/pvt him and ask him. . .or fine an enhancement in our bugzilla.

Sorry for my silence... i didnt received mails of your replies.
I checked it out and :

- now it appear to be at line 32498
- You need to use a multiple of 42 like 2*42 because further in the code , they used divisions to construct the interface.
I test it now....
make sure you are logged with zimbra account
#su - zimbra
cd /opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/zimbra/js
cp ZimbraMail_all.js ZimbraMail_all.js.
vi ZimbraMail_all.js.
//GOTO line 32498
//Change the value from 42 to 84
:wq
$ cp ZimbraMail_all.js.zgz ZimbraMail_all.js.zgz-sav
$ rm ZimbraMail_all.js.zgz
$gzip -S zgz ZimbraMail_all.js.
//Ok now i test to reboot server
$ zmcontrol stop

If you're having problem with tomcat restart, use ~/libexec/zmfixperms
and check your /var/log/zimbra.log rights.
Now open your browser , empty the cache .
Connect to zimbra and now thats ok...

Thanks a lot enguer, for your tip. It is also very very important for me, as most of appointments will have a 10 minutes durations.

I did what you explained in Zimbra 4.5 and it worked. However, appointments does not appear correctly on calendar.

For exemple, an appointment set to 10:50-11:00 seems graphically to begin at 10:50 (correct) and end at 11:10 (incorrect). Then, I can't see whether there is a free space or not.

A 20 minutes appointment is correctly displayed.

Maybe is it due to a minimal height of appointment displaying ?
Any idea about how to have appointments take exactly the right size in calendar display ?

Thanks in advance.
