CMS Made Simple Forums

I've just released Calendar 0.7 alpha2 addressing some of the issues raised from alpha 2.

Change Log:

* Bug fix: include last day of the month!
* Bug fix: template use of $table_id should have {} around it.
* Include icon for content page.
* Whitespace changes - trailing spaces and tabs/space tidy up.
* Make default templates XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant.

It's available at the newly created Calendar project on dev.cmsmadesimple.org.

Akrabat,

Is there a way I can set a target for the events?

For example, if I put the calendar in the left column of my site I want the target area to be the main column {content}.

But now when I click an event the detail view appears both in the left column (in place of the calendar) AND in the {content} area.

NB: Thanks for making the code transitional compliant. I use a strict doctype, myself, but I'm a sucker for punishment!

You can just modify the templates to make them strict

Ditto for setting the target: near the bottom of the "upcominglist" template there is the line: so just add target="whatver" to that and you are done.

But that would only work for frames, yes?

I guess what I'm asking is why does the detail view appear in BOTH the left column (where the calendar was) AND the {content} location? And can I stop it from doing the former?

I'm perfectly happy to have the detail appear in place of {content} but I want to keep the calendar fixed in the left column.

hmm... are you able to send me your database to play with?

You mean it's not meant to do that?

Is the usual target just {content}?

My db is many MBs. If you tell me what to look for I can go in and have a look. Or did you just want a dump of the Calendar tables?

I've never tried columns, so not clear on how to set it up!

I'm happy to receive a multi-megabyte attachment to rob [at] akrabat.com

I'm just trying to get it to work like many Web calendars. They are usually fixed in the menu column and the results of a click appear in the main content column. At the moment the results appear in two places.

I'm not using frames. This is just a DIV based layout.

I'll keep playing with target and see what happens.

Whilst showering this morning, I finally worked out what you meant!

The current code won't do what you want. I'll dig into the module interface to see if I cat get it to do what you want...
