As of 1.1-19 I've set up 2 new vacations yesterday, period starting yesterday and they didn't even activate... went back to manual.
can you try with the last version I released yesterday, (1.21), normally the fix doesn't concern the version you tested, but ????
you can also launch it manually and see what is broken in /var/log/messages (please report)
check_vacation_dates
@plusplus it seems workable for you ?
By the way :
I added a new functionality (only sme9) you can delegate to somebody, to set the vacation message of users belong in the delegated groups( see the wiki page)
I worked on the translation issue that you might have and display the body of the message in the subject.
I would add a checkbox to select the delegated groups in the user panel, but ATM I'm fighting with formagick.
