Hi I have installed calendar mod and now I like to see the calendar on the left (menu) directley under the news box.
Can someone help me with that ?
PS I am a dutch user so probably the day enumeration (monday, tuesday) must be altered to in Ma Di Wo
Thanks in advance

I added a small calendar under the news items by inserting the following into the template, immediately under the news module:
Code: Select all
<div style="padding: 10px;">
{cms_module module='Calendar' first_day_of_week='0' table_id='small'}
</div>
And the following into the calendar stylesheet:
Code: Select all
/** Start small calendar rules (assuming table_id='small') **/
/* border on for #small */
#small {
margin: 0px;
border-collapse: collapse;
border: 1px solid black;
}
/* nice squares for the #small table */
#small th
{
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #dddddd;
padding: 1px;
width: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
#small td {
border: 1px solid black;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: right;
padding: 1px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
}
/* format summaries nicely in #small */
#small ul
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
}
#small li
{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
/* background colours for #small */
#small td
{
background-color: #eeeeee;
}
#small .calendar-month
{
padding: 0 0 5px 0;
}
#small .calendar-day
{
background-color: #eeeeee;
}
#small .calendar-today
{
font-weight: normal;
background-color: #FFC4E2;
}
/** End small calendar rules **/
Then I edited the lang file to make the short day names 2 characters in length, instead of 3.
Hope that helps.

Thanks this helps me a lot, one question though, which langusge file Do I need to change and is it possible to have a " long day" and "short day" version ? perhaps based on if you choose "big" or "small" for the calendar stylesheet ?

Each module comes with it's own language file. For Calendar, it would be home directory-->modules-->calendar-->lang. Open up your language file and look for the days of the week. I believe, if I recall correctly, that there is both a long and short version of the days of the week.

if so and there is a long day and a short day version, how do I get calendar to use the short notation ?

found something strange, I got o lng file in that place bu't...
I do have a page in the settings menu of calendar and if I choose Englisch I get day format in 3 digits if I select any other language its in 3 digits BUT if I select nl_NL I get full days in the display.
I guess I have to edit some file to correct that, I guess one of the translators made a small error there ?
