SMF Calendar Block

[brianjw]

This has to do with php I think and a calendar so I figured I might ask this here. *yes it does have to do with TP and blocks*

Is there a way I can make something that is in a marquee that takes all the events (NOT BIRTHDAYS) from the calendar and puts it in the scrolling thingy. Except the scrolling thingy only displays the nearest event and thats it. Only the nearest and only one event. Is this possible?

2. How can i do the Days shown in "Mo, Tu, We etc." into German "Mo, Di, Mi etc"??

btw, thank u guys for this great thing

@ Rashka

I think if you read through this long thread, you will have that answer you seek for.
There are numerous posts made with diffrent ways to show things in the block, and in what order, and im almost possitive that your answer is there to.

[Rashka]

For Translate the Months and Days into german, i just found this post: http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=700.msg30584#msg30584

I'm pretty new on php... so i don't really know what to do.
I've added %a from the link into:

Code Select Expand

$day_names[$n] = ucfirst(gmstrftime('%A,%a',$t)); #%A means full textual day name
and %B into

Code Select Expand

list($month, $year, $month_name, $weekday) = explode(',',gmstrftime('%m,%Y,%B,%w',$first_of_month));

But both parts stay in english....
I can't find the written "setlocale()" thing in  my code...

I'm new to php, so pls help me^^

Rashka

[Rashka]

Can noone help me to set the calendar to german?
sorry but I'm really a noob to php ;_;

Changing the Language

All the blocks here (I believe) will get month and day names from the system based on the environment settings for 'locale'. If the server is set up for English, then that's what's going to be given.

Here are two possible ways to address this if you want to present the Calendar in another language.


First Method
Change your locale setting in the script. There are some warnings about this in that this change is process-wide and not thread limited, so can affect other threads running under the same process. You can try to limit this by changing it back as quickly as possible, but I really don't know how it will work. But if you want to try it ...

Find

Code Select Expand

$day_names = array();                                      #generate all the day names according to the current locale
for($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));

Replace with

Code Select Expand

$day_names = array();                                      #generate all the day names according to the current locale
$baselocale = setlocale(LC_TIME, '');
setlocale(LC_TIME, '??-locale-ID-??');
for($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));
setlocale(LC_TIME, $baselocale);

Note the line: "setlocale(LC_TIME, '??-locale-ID-??');". You need to put a value in for that locale ID parameter for the language you want to use. Both the languages available and the correct way to specify them are fully dependent on YOUR host server. Many have aliases set up for languages and you can simply enter 'german', or 'spanish', but others may require things like 'de-DE' or 'de-DE.UTF-8'. If you have SSH access to your host, go there and enter 'locale -a' at the prompt for a list of valid values.


Second Method
Hard code your values so you don't get them from the host's environment.

$day_names = array();                                      #generate all the day names according to the current locale

list($month, $year, $month_name, $weekday) = explode(',',gmstrftime('%m,%Y,%B,%w',$first_of_month));

Replace with

$day_names = array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday'); #specify all the day names
// or if you want week to start on Monday
// $day_names = array('Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'); #specify all the day names
//
// for($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));
$month_names = array();
$month_names['01'] = 'January';
$month_names['02'] = 'February';
     .
     .
     .
$month_names['12'] = 'December';
$month_name = $month_names[$month];


Edit: slight change to last code block.

[jacortina]

Do you show the User Block (like the top left block on this site)? If not, could you turn it on to check? What does THAT say the current date/time is? Are timestamps on your posts correct?

Actually, that might not make a difference. That line you noted as trying to change uses the mktime() function. That uses the SERVER'S local date time and then applies the forum's time offset. It doesn't take into account the offset YOU specify in your profile.

You can 'try' to change that line to:

Code Select Expand

$now = mktime() + (($user_info['time_offset'] + $modSettings['time_offset']) * 3600);

You also have to add $user_info to the 'global' line.

[Was that value 86400 in the code you were using? That's seconds in a day, but the offsets are in hours, so it should be seconds in an hour or 3600.]

[Eleazar]

I see. Its working now but i cant say for sure at the exact time of midnight. I'll check back Thanks

[fangweile]

can I adjust the Width of the calendar?
