Just change this part to your language.

Code Select Expand

$day_names = array('Lunes','Martes','Miercoles','Jueves','Viernes','Sabado','Domingo');                                      #generate all the day names according to the current locale
// for($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));
$month_nam = array();
$month_nam['01'] = 'Enero';
$month_nam['02'] = 'Febrero';
$month_nam['03'] = 'Marzo';
$month_nam['04'] = 'Abril';
$month_nam['05'] = 'Mayo';
$month_nam['06'] = 'Junio';
$month_nam['07'] = 'Julio';
$month_nam['08'] = 'Agosto';
$month_nam['09'] = 'Septiembre';
$month_nam['10'] = 'Octubre';
$month_nam['11'] = 'Noviembre';
$month_nam['12'] = 'Diciembre';
$month_name = $month_nam[$month];


And for the color...

Code Select Expand

if(((($weekday+$first_day) % 7)==0)||((($weekday+$first_day) % 7)==6))
            {
            $calendar .= ' style="color:#C00000;"';
            }


Change this part to the color that you want.

Hope it helps!

thanks danbass. but why set_locale(), doesn't work??

[dannbass]

I'm not sure about it, I just change the $day_names and the $month_nam = array(); and it did the trick, my php is not that good... but I just follow instructions, I read them somewhere in this long thread, somebody asking for a german translation.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

[Lotti]

yeah, you're right infact i'll do what you posted above, but the script says that is "locale" compatible and infact it uses the right functions to use "locale". i tried to set_locale(LC_TIME,'it_IT') on local and online server, with no result :\

[dannbass]

Ahh I see... sure I should work... but if everything fails... that could be a shortcut.

Anyway, I'm glad it worked!

OK. Here it is. The latest iteration of my version of the Calendar block.

Plenty of comments in the code and notes about use, but here's a summary.

Numerous options selectable by parameters including:

• Individual selections to choose to show Birthday, Event, Holiday Lists.
• Separate individual selections to choose to show same to guests.
• Separate text colors for each of Saturdays, Sundays.
• Parameterized foreground and background colors for 'Today' highlight.
• Choice to have day numbers link to 'Post Event' form or Calendar page display (with SMF 'post event' permission check).
• Option to show a 'Post Event' button on bottom of block (with SMF 'post event' permission check).
• Variables for text of list section labels ('Birthdays', 'Events', 'Holidays').
• Option to highlight day numbers for days with Birthdays, Events, Holidays.
• Variables for foreground, backround, bolding to use for highlights.
• Ability to specify sequence of the list sections shown.
• Ability to specify 'priority' of highlighting.
• Can allow for user's time offset for determination of 'today'.
• Still able to choose Sunday or Monday as start of week.
• Still able to choose how many letters of day names to show.

Highlighting does NOT highlight past days, only days going forward.

Additionally, there's an example section, currently commented out, to show
how to use Non-English Labels, Month and Day names in place.

Also modified to avoid all SQL queries in the block itself (and optimized
usage of SMF functions likely to perform queries).

I've done what testing I can, but no board I admin makes much use of events,
so apart from a couple of dummy entries for the purpose of testing, that part
of the code isn't as well 'shaken down'.
