XenAtendo User Guide & FAQ


XenAtendo Users Guide

This FAQ will hopefully provide answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
It has been written in such a way to make it easy for everyone to understand and be as search friendly as possible.

It has been divided into sections to make it easier to find the answers you're looking for.
Click on the links below to go to each section.
  1. What is XenAtendo? How do I Install / Upgrade?
  2. Configuration Options
  3. Permissions
  4. Creating Events
  5. General Questions
  6. Troubleshooting
  7. Coding / Customizations
NOTE:I am not proficient at writing guides. I have used many add-ons for months and I see the same questions being asked which cause threads to grow unmanageably long. I have decided to step up and help. I'll try to offer other guides once per week as time permits. The format as this guide has been shamelessly stolen from Brogan's FAQ

This thread will be updated periodically. To suggest additions, please post in this thread.

    Can I remove the copyright?
    A donation of $50 (or more) earns you the right to remove the copyright for this mod from a single install.

    Where can I download this add-on? Where can I obtain the latest update?
