| + | ===Automatic enabling and disabling of vacation messages=== |
| + | |
| + | The server-manager panel provides two fields where you can enter start and end dates for the vacation message of a user. |
| + | These date values will be checked by a simple cron script every night, in order to enable or disable the vacation message of this user at the given dates, respectively. |
| + | |
| + | The two date fields in the server-manager panel are not programatically validated with respect to common-sense, so some rules apply: |
| + | |
| + | * Start date has to be before end date |
| + | * Start date must not be the same as the end date |
| + | * If the intended start date is in the future (from "now"), the checkbox for enabling the vacation message should be unchecked (otherwise vacation messages will be sent out from "now" on). |
