Yet another event calendar

[keijok]

Yes i created a page with Event Calendar as page type and added an event and made it viewable by the public and All I get is a blank page that says the Title at the top.

That's odd 

Can you see any error messages in the webserver log?
If so, could you please paste the error here so I can take a look...

It´s getting close now...

Good work Keijo. I just have one question for you. My calendar always starts with a sunday at the frontend, I would prefer monday =). Any easy way to change this?

Thanks in advance / Kiitos etukäteen

When I tried adding an event with a "PM" end-time, it kept translating it as an AM time. I made the following change to add_edit_event.php, line 239:

Change from:

Code:

<option value="<?= $showvalue ?>" <?= $value==$endtime_value?"selected":"" ?> ><?= $showvalue ?></option>

Change to:

Code:

<option value="<?= $value ?>" <?= $value==$endtime_value?"selected":"" ?> ><?= $showvalue ?></option>

Take a look on the week_starts_mon -setting in the language file.
If true, first day of week is monday, and if false it's sunday.
Oleppa hyvä.

This was a typo in the code, thank's for notifying.
Fixed into the download ZIP.

I think it is great. Would like some more functionality - bold type, type face colour etc - but as I know nothing about any of this I am pleased simply to be able to use a module someone else has spent considerable time creating.
I am using it at www.footballwidebay.org

...bold type, type face colour etc...

You can actually use standard HTML codes to format the text. Here's an example, event at October 10 2006.

But I do agree that writing those HTML markers can be a bit tidious. What is needed is perhaps integrated WYSIWYG editor to enter the event description. I'll have to see about this, don't have the time just now, tough.

I get this:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: template in /aaa/www/modules/event_calendar/view.php on line 67

on the public site...
is there any idea ?

Do you have the template.inc library file in the include/phplib folder of your wb installation?

[Tzvook]

Yep I do ...  first thing was going to the error line to see... and then to phplib.
I'm using version 2.6.0 on Apache + Suse.

UPDATE:
just tested in on FREEBSD , same errors, it seems it works only with higher version and info.php need not say it works with 2.6.x ... maybe I only need to update the phplib ? and stay with 2.6.0 ?

[kweitzel]

the info(.)php of modules defines the Website Baker version, this module is defined for, nothing else.

cheers

Hello Tzvook,

why you don't wanna update to WB 2.6.4?

I made the calendar using WB2.6.4.
Haven't got any older version so no idea why it doesn't work on those.

Hello Tzvook,

Matthias

Ohh, well I used so many core hacks (functionality + visibility) that I'll have to do it all from the begining .... there's already no hair anyway on my head
Next time I'll do it will probably be for a higher version ...

If there was a changes log of touched files between versions ... all was easyer ... or maybe there is one and I missed it ?

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello

Ohh, well I used so many core hacks (functionality + visibility)

So don't wonder if you get problems with modules wich needs standard core files.   

If there was a changes log of touched files between versions

Somewhere here in the forum i posted a package with only the changed files from 2.6.3 to 2.6.4. Search for it (i will do it too if i get some time), maybe this helps you to make upgrade your "user defined" version easier.

This is because in the event.class.php file it declares var $type = ''; Twice

Delete line 26 in the event.class.php and the calendar will show.

I love this module and have made some changes. One thing that some other folks may want to take advantage of is to be able to put a small calendar on any page (as opposed to coding it into the template as mentioned earlier). I simply created a function called small_cal() and then call this from a code section on a page. Here is the function:

function small_cal() {
   global $database;
   require_once( WB_PATH.'/modules/event_calendar/calendar.class.original.php' );
   $cal = new Calendar( $database, 'menu' );
   echo "".$cal->writeCalendar();
}

Note that the code is exactly the same as that used in the template but that it also has to include the global variable $database.

If you want to see my function in action, check out:

Hope someone out there can use this.

Just wanted to check - is this safe to use on "multi-oven" sites? (one code installation, multiple sites)

I'm not sure if the $database variable includes (or is) the database's site prefix.

I use this one. It works...

But the Date is wrong. It starts with: Monday, 1st April. Not with Sunday, 1st April.

Any idea how to fix this?

By the way - are there any workarounds for the normal event calender, to show a small calender in the navigation? That was the only reason, why I used this special event calender...

Regarding the wrong days...I don't know why the calendar would have the days wrong. Do other date functions work correctly on your system? Just a thought...it may be a PHP configuration issue.

Regarding the small calendar...as I mentioned above, you can either implement the small calendar code into your template or create a small function that you can call from a code section of a specific page. Both the full calendar and the small calendar are CSS based so you can make it as big or small as you want. See my site as an example:
