SMF Calendar Block

[Metorks]

Would it be possible to set up two of these block to show the next two months on the side of the current month's calendar?

[jacortina]

This code is not really appropriate for that. It specifically takes the Calendar 'look ahead' defined for the forum to display events under the calendar for the current month.

I believe that if you're simply looking to add small month calendars to the calendar page display, there's a mod for that over on the SMF site ('Enhanced Calendar' or something like that).

is it possible to anchor my babylon themed 'post event' button (from the smf calendar) to the bottom of my php-block calendar so users could start from there?

ok, i opened calendar.template.php and was able to add part of the 'show button' code to my calendar block to have the 'post event' button show inside my calendar block... but when i click on the button, i get an 'invalid month value' error message...

i realize that there is probably more to getting this to work than just embedding a button, but i'm not sure what (i'm just a beginner)...

interesting thing is that the 'post event' button (in the php calendar block) works when i'm viewing the SMF calendar, but it doesn't work when if i am viewing anything else...

still working on it, but any hints or advice are welcome...

I'll look into that then.  Thanks!

I believe the URL the button takes you to has to be of the form:

Code Select Expand

'<a href="http://', $scripturl,  '?action=calendar;sa=post;month=', $month, ';year=', $year, ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">'

The $month and $year are already set up in the code.

I haven't done anything with the session ID before, but I think the above will put it in place.

absolutely fabulous! thanks! it works great!

i had all of the code there (from calendar.template.php), but the code had the smf code calling up the date & year instead of letting the php-block code do the work... your code was exactly what i needed, except i had to remove the 'http://' part (it was redundant and tried to connect to "http://http://.......")...

all is good now!

(thank you)

Now I have a question... what should you need to add if you want to add the events that happen today bold?

In looking at the boardindex.template and this looks like the code...

Code Select Expand

$event['is_today'] ? '<b>' . $event['title'] . '</b>

but I'm php challenged...

the code that I'm using is, or the part for that matter is...

Code Select Expand

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//   EVENTS SECTION
//
if (!empty($context['calendar_events']))
{
    echo '<tr><td colspan="2"><hr></td><td colspan="3" class="smalltext" align="center" style="font-weight: bold; color: #' . $modSettings['cal_eventcolor'] . ';">Audiciones y Eventos</td><td colspan="2"><hr></td></tr><td colspan="7" class="smalltext">';

    foreach ($context['calendar_events'] as $event)
    {
        $query = db_query(
            "SELECT startDate
            FROM {$db_prefix}calendar
            WHERE ID_EVENT='".$event['id']."'", __FILE__, __LINE__);

        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
        $startdate = strtotime($row['startDate']);

        mysql_free_result($query);

        echo '<div align="left">';
        echo '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=calendar;year=' . date("Y") . ';month=' . date("n",$startdate) . '"><strong>' . date("M j",$startdate) . '</strong></a>';
        echo ' - ';
        echo $event['link'] ;
        echo '</div>';
    }
    echo '</td></tr>';
}

Thanks a lot!

Try this.

In that Events Section of the code, Find:

Code Select Expand

        echo $event['link'] ;

And replace it with:

Code Select Expand

        if ((date('Y',$now).date('m',$now).date('d',$now)) >= (date('Y',$startdate).date('m',$startdate).date('d',$startdate)))
        {
            echo '<b>',$event['link'], '</b>';
        }
        else
        {
            echo $event['link'] ;
        }

That should bold events which start today or events that run multiple days and already started.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I thought of something else... long time ago here
Kail used this code... if I'm not mistaken,

Code Select Expand

foreach($events as $startdate => $value)
$days[substr($startdate,8)] = array(NULL,NULL,'<a class="smalltext" style="color: steelblue; font-weight: bold; background-color: '.(substr($startdate,8)<$today ? 'lightblue' : 'yellow').'; padding: 0px 4px 0px 4px;" href="'.$scripturl.'?action=calendar;sa=post;month='.$month.';year='.$year.';day='.substr($event['start_date'],8).'" target="_self">'.substr($startdate,8).'</a>');

foreach($birthdays as $startdate => $value)
$days[substr($startdate,8)] = array(NULL,NULL,'<a class="smalltext" style="color: steelblue; font-weight: bold; background-color: '.(substr($startdate,8)<$today ? 'lightblue' : 'yellow').'; padding: 0px 4px 0px 4px;" href="'.$scripturl.'?action=calendar;sa=post;month='.$month.';year='.$year.';day='.substr($birth['start_date'],8).'" target="_self">'.substr($startdate,8).'</a>');


to add a highlight to the dates that have an event.

Again, I've been trying to add this to this

that is almost the perfect calendar block, at least IMHO.

Could you help me out again?
I'm very grateful!!!
