SMF Calendar Block

[jakemelon]

I noticed this snippet only shows events from the upcoming week. Any idea how to change it to list a month worth of events or more?

thanks

You set that in you Admin Control Panel.

Forum/Calendar -> "Max days in advance on board index:"

Nice! thank you!

Very cool, thanks!  I like it and it integrates with the calendar so someone just clicks on a date and a new post opens up to enter an event.   

I may have missed it, but anyway I put the last two codes together.  Now it shows the calendar with the abbreviations with two characters, e.g. 'Mo' for Monday and any upcoming events.  Hope it's right.

Code Select Expand

global $scripturl, $modSettings;

$now = mktime() + $modSettings['time_offset'] * 3600;
         $today = date('j',$now);
         $year = date("Y",$now);
         $month = date("n",$now);
         $days = array($today=>array(NULL,NULL,'<a class="smalltext" style="color: steelblue; font-weight: bold; border: solid 1px black; background-color: white; padding: 0px 4px 0px 4px;" href="'.$scripturl.'?action=calendar;sa=post;month='.$month.';year='.$year.';day='.$today.'" target="_self">'.$today.'</a>'));

         $day_name_length = 2;
         $month_href = $scripturl . '?action=calendar';
         $first_day = 0;
         $pn = array();

$first_of_month = gmmktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year);
#remember that mktime will automatically correct if invalid dates are entered
# for instance, mktime(0,0,0,12,32,1997) will be the date for Jan 1, 1998
# this provides a built in "rounding" feature to generate_calendar()

$day_names = array(); #generate all the day names according to the current locale
for($n=0,$t=(3+$first_day)*86400; $n<7; $n++,$t+=86400) #January 4, 1970 was a Sunday
$day_names[$n] = ucfirst(gmstrftime('%A',$t)); #%A means full textual day name

list($month, $year, $month_name, $weekday) = explode(',',gmstrftime('%m,%Y,%B,%w',$first_of_month));
$weekday = ($weekday + 7 - $first_day) % 7; #adjust for $first_day
$title   = htmlentities(ucfirst($month_name)).' '.$year;  #note that some locales don't capitalize month and day names

#Begin calendar. Uses a real <caption>. See http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/07/03
@list($p, $pl) = each($pn); @list($n, $nl) = each($pn); #previous and next links, if applicable
if($p) $p = '<span class="smalltext">'.($pl ? '<a href="'.htmlspecialchars($pl).'">'.$p.'</a>' : $p).'</span> ';

#if day_name_length is >3, the full name of the day will be printed
foreach($day_names as $d)
$calendar .= '<th class="smalltext" abbr="'.htmlentities($d).'">'.htmlentities($day_name_length < 4 ? substr($d,0,$day_name_length) : $d).'</th>';
$calendar .= "</tr>\n<tr style=\"text-align:right;\">";
}

if($weekday > 0) $calendar .= '<td class="smalltext" colspan="'.$weekday.'"> </td>'; #initial 'empty' days
for($day=1,$days_in_month=gmdate('t',$first_of_month); $day<=$days_in_month; $day++,$weekday++){

}
}
if($weekday != 7) $calendar .= '<td class="smalltext" colspan="'.(7-$weekday).'"> </td>'; #remaining "empty" days

echo $calendar.'</tr>';

if (ssi_todaysBirthdays('')) {
  echo '<tr><td><hr></td><td colspan="5" class="smalltext" align="center">Birthdays</td><td><hr></td></tr><td colspan="7" class="smalltext">';
  ssi_todaysBirthdays();

  echo '</td></tr>';
}

echo '</table>';

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. Is it possible to bold days on which an event occurs?

Thanks

[jakemelon]

Yea that would be nice, that is beyond me, maybe someone can help. It would be nice to bold or have events highlighted in the calendar itself, otherwise it is kinda useless except for list of events below it (that is what I am using it for).

I would like to bold my letters too. Does it do this in the calendar part of smf?
If not how to modify this and that code to make it show today to be bold.... ?

One more small suggestion ... is it possible to line break after each event so they dont group together?

Thanks

[mrbean17]

Is it possible to add repeating events?

[jacortina]

Your lack of breaks between events is because the block you're using calls the SSI functions to do the output and that's how SSI does it. There are a number of other blocks given in this thread which do it differently.

And except for yearly 'holiday' type entries, I don't think there's functionality for repeating events. But that's really an SMF matter.

Ok cool, do you happen to have a better one than the one I used here? : http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=700.msg109987#msg109987
