CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,

I have the calendar installed (by default I guess) but no idea how to add it to pages--I know this is probably stupid & simple but I can't find it anywhere.

Any help?

Create a new page, then in the content field put a tag like this:

{cms_module module="Calendar"}

That should display the default view; you can then customise it by playing with the parameters (see the module's Help file)

thanks a lot

i don't have the help file for calendar, but, it looks easy: just css mods. I don't think I'll need anything special outside of this!!!

I appreciate it,

David

One more question maybe:

is there anyway to display ONLY certain criteria? i.e. have the calendar only list x category?

thanks a million--

The help page is in the Modules area of the CMS; click on the name (or Help) and it will show you all the parameters you can use.

You may try uninstalling / reinstalling...

Hey Mark,

wow! That's great. Thank you so much.

I don't have the help, I must need to re-install it--I'll use the list you posted for me for now & figure out why the help is missing later.

Thanks a million
