Yet another event calendar

[treasurer]

I think it is great. Would like some more functionality - bold type, type face colour etc - but as I know nothing about any of this I am pleased simply to be able to use a module someone else has spent considerable time creating.
I am using it at www.footballwidebay .org

...bold type, type face colour etc...

You can actually use standard HTML codes to format the text. Here's an example, event at October 10 2006.

But I do agree that writing those HTML markers can be a bit tidious. What is needed is perhaps integrated WYSIWYG editor to enter the event description. I'll have to see about this, don't have the time just now, tough.

I get this:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: template in /aaa/www/modules/event_calendar/view.php on line 67

on the public site...
is there any idea ?

Do you have the template.inc library file in the include/phplib folder of your wb installation?

Yep I do ...  first thing was going to the error line to see... and then to phplib.
I'm using version 2.6.0 on Apache + Suse.

UPDATE:
just tested in on FREEBSD , same errors, it seems it works only with higher version and info.php need not say it works with 2.6.x ... maybe I only need to update the phplib ? and stay with 2.6.0 ?

[kweitzel]

the info(.)php of modules defines the WebsiteBaker version, this module is defined for, nothing else.

Hello Tzvook,

I made the calendar using WB2.6.4.
Haven't got any older version so no idea why it doesn't work on those.

Hello Tzvook,

Ohh, well I used so many core hacks (functionality + visibility) that I'll have to do it all from the begining .... there's already no hair anyway on my head
Next time I'll do it will probably be for a higher version ...

If there was a changes log of touched files between versions ... all was easyer ... or maybe there is one and I missed it ?

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello

Ohh, well I used so many core hacks (functionality + visibility)

So don't wonder if you get problems with modules wich needs standard core files.   

If there was a changes log of touched files between versions

Somewhere here in the forum i posted a package with only the changed files from 2.6.3 to 2.6.4. Search for it (i will do it too if i get some time), maybe this helps you to make upgrade your "user defined" version easier.

Yes i created a page with Event Calendar as page type and added an event and made it viewable by the public and All I get is a blank page that says the Title at the top.

That's odd 

Can you see any error messages in the webserver log?
If so, could you please paste the error here so I can take a look...

This is because in the event.class.php file it declares var $type = ''; Twice

Delete line 26 in the event.class.php and the calendar will show.

I love this module and have made some changes. One thing that some other folks may want to take advantage of is to be able to put a small calendar on any page (as opposed to coding it into the template as mentioned earlier). I simply created a function called small_cal() and then call this from a code section on a page. Here is the function:

function small_cal() {
   global $database;
   require_once( WB_PATH.'/modules/event_calendar/calendar.class.original.php' );
   $cal = new Calendar( $database, 'menu' );
   echo "".$cal->writeCalendar();
}

Note that the code is exactly the same as that used in the template but that it also has to include the global variable $database.

If you want to see my function in action, check out:
http://www.secondsoletotalsports.com

Hope someone out there can use this.

Just wanted to check - is this safe to use on "multi-oven" sites? (one code installation, multiple sites)

I'm not sure if the $database variable includes (or is) the database's site prefix.

I use this one. It works...

But the Date is wrong. It starts with: Monday, 1st April. Not with Sunday, 1st April.

Any idea how to fix this?

By the way - are there any workarounds for the normal event calender, to show a small calender in the navigation? That was the only reason, why I used this special event calender...

Regarding the wrong days...I don't know why the calendar would have the days wrong. Do other date functions work correctly on your system? Just a thought...it may be a PHP configuration issue.

Regarding the small calendar...as I mentioned above, you can either implement the small calendar code into your template or create a small function that you can call from a code section of a specific page. Both the full calendar and the small calendar are CSS based so you can make it as big or small as you want. See my site as an example:

Hi
I've been following the ongoing development of this module and it looks great! Is there a definitive version yet? Would love to get this installed.
Thanks

Ah, the error was my mistake - I mixed up the Sunday-Monday as fist Day, and that was why

Now it works like a charm. But another little issue:
If I use "umlaute" in German - It works in Firefox, but Internetexplorer gives me that:

"Erlöserkirche Gemeindegottesdiens t"

Do I have to change the codec to UFT-8 ? How can I do this... WebsiteBaker is using UTF-8 already.

Hi, thanks for all your hardwork everyone.  Maybe one day I can help out when poor little brain can absorb all that is going on. 

After looking through this thread, I definitely want this event calendar but I don't know where to start, is the "current" version with all the changes mentioned in the completed modules section?  If not, where do I start?

Thanks!

hello everyone,

where can I find this module? the download link seems to be broken and  I don't see it in the repository.

The calendar on http://www.secondsoletotalsports.com/ looks great and is actually what I would like to have for my client's site. It does seem eerily similar to the phpEventCalendar found at that riversidebaptistchu rch.ca site.

Hello,

seems the developer of the module is using Joomla now. Maybe contact him via http://keijok.kapsi.fi/ and ask if he could send you the latest version so we could devlop it furhter.

I saw that ..

Is this a growing trend?  Are we losing a lot to other platforms, or is WB growing?

[glogo]

Hi,

@Christian

as far as I know (only know about 3 words in finnish), I have sent the developer a message over his contact page. we will see if he answers. that cal mod really looked pretty good. so, I am eager to try it out. In the meantime, I loaded the phpEventCal with the list mod function. It's working, but, well, it just isn't really that "cool". It's VERY basic.

Here is what I had downloaded for what I started with at www.secondsoletotal sports.com. I hacked up the code to do a few things different (mainly related to CSS and admininistration) and I also put together a function to call from a code section (see elsewhere in this thread).

@doc
Could you or one of the other's please post this to the module repository?

Update: attachment deleted

[ruebenwurzel]

@marathoner

the version you posted in your thread above is exactly the same as on the addons repository. There is already the version 1.7.4. Nothing needs to be replaced.

So can you please delete the version from your post above (this may confuse our users as they aspect new functions wich are not included) and add your adapted version? Befor releasing it as official the community an we have to test it.

thanks

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately I do not have time to develop this calendar module anymore.
Marathoner have made some great additions to my code so maybe Marathoner could make his modifications available somewhere. Latest version I've made can be found at http://keijok.kapsi.fi/tmp/websitebaker_modules/
Feel free to donload and use as a base for further development if found usable. I see someone have already made quite large modifications to the Ban module so use that instead of my version found from the URL above.

I developed both these modules originally last year for a certain society and at that time WB was a very strong contender for the CMS of the society. But, unfortunately for WB, the society decided to go with Joomla instead and I feel I don't have time to keep up with two CMS's right now. We'll keep WB in mind and when WB3 is out, we'll take a good look into it.

Regards,
Keijo K.
