Event Calendar v3

[pixelpadre]

I spent 8 hours yesterday trying to solve the problem yesterday. I used Firefox Firebug to show me the behind the scenes look at the calendar. One thing I noticed is that the calendar iframe calls the entire website, which having the calendar embedded in it , calls the entire website, which calls the entire website ad infin itum. Sort of looking at a TV with TV camers. You keep getting more and more and more images of the same thing, only smaller. This explains an earlier post about Crafty Syntax Live Help. I noticed that the site with the calendar was having exponentail page view counts, now I understand why. For some reason, on my site the entire page is not loading in the sidebox, but I did read in this thread where others were having that problem.

I wish to replace the iframe altogether with a div, and convert the calendar month view to a rolling month grid of days by weeks, but the code completely bamboozles me.

fixed all my problems, great post! thanks for the support!!

No it di not fix your problems. I clicked on your weblink and your calendar does not work.

Thanks for this help but I am facing this problem. The sidebox that should display the calendar is now displaying the homepage. Why is this happening?! PLEASE HELP!

I have been troubleshooting that fact for myself for days. Turns out that the README file makes an additional code to the tpl_main_page.php file located in templates/yourtemplate/common/

So now there is no more home page reloading in the calendar box. One small step......

But it is still not running properly.

Perserverance.

Well looks like everything is working fine now.

attached is the zip file with only 3 changes:

1: replaced calendar.php per post #57
2: replaced events_calendar_listing.php per post #57
3: Added tpl_main_page.php to templates/mytemplate/common/ and added the code as directed in the readme file.

Seems to work fine now. Escort Service

So. I have the same problem - that it is not providing the correct year when clicked in the year view. How did you fix the parsing issue?

If I type it in - it comes up correctly, but otherwise it is stuck in 2008. Rhonda

Do what the Readme file tells you to do!

Pixelpadre fix:

1. \includes\templates\YourTemplate\common\tpl_main_page.php

change

<?php
}
?>
<!--eof- banner #6 display -->
</body>

to

<!--eof- banner #6 display -->
</body>
<?php
}
?>

2. To change the sidebox subheading from "MonthYear <>" to "<< MonthYear >>", in \includes\classes\calendar.php, replace the following code within function getMonthHTML($m, $y, $show = 0):

         $prevMonth = '<a href=index.php?main_page='. FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR_INCLUDE . '&eventmode=eventframe' .$this->getCalendarLink($prev[0], $prev[1]).' target=calendar title='. $this->monthNames[$month - 2] . (($month-2 < 1) ? $D.($year-1) : '&nbsp;'. $year) .' >&lt;</a>'; 
          
         $nextMonth = '<a href=index.php?main_page='. FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR_INCLUDE . '&eventmode=eventframe' . $this->getCalendarLink($next[0], $next[1]).' target=calendar title='. $this->monthNames[$month + 0] . (($month+0 > 11) ? $J.($year+1) : '&nbsp;'. $year) .' >&gt;</a>'; 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            $prevMonth = ""; 
            $nextMonth = ""; 
        } 
        $s .= "<table width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n"; 
        $s .= "<tr class=\"calendarHeader\">\n"; 
        $linkHeader = zen_href_link(FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR, "_month=$month&_year=$year"); 
        $s .= "<td align=\"left\"><a href=\"$linkHeader\" target=\"_parent\">$header</a></td>\n"; 
        $s .= "<td align=\"center\" class=\"yearHeader\">\n"; 

      if(mktime (0,0,0,$month ,0,$year) > mktime (0,0,0,$this_month ,0,$this_year)) 
    { 
            $s .= $prevMonth; 
        } 
        else 
    { 
        $s .= $prevMonth; 
        } 
            $s .= "</td>\n"; 
            $s .= "<td align=\"center\" class=\"yearHeader\">$nextMonth</td></tr>\n"; 
            $s .= "<tr><td colspan=\"3\">\n";

with

         $prevMonth = '<a href=index.php?main_page='. FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR_INCLUDE . '&eventmode=eventframe' .$this->getCalendarLink($prev[0], $prev[1]).' target=calendar title='. $this->monthNames[$month - 2] . (($month-2 < 1) ? $D.($year-1) : '&nbsp;'. $year) .' >&lt;&lt;</a>';

         $nextMonth = '<a href=index.php?main_page='. FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR_INCLUDE . '&eventmode=eventframe' . $this->getCalendarLink($next[0], $next[1]).' target=calendar title='. $this->monthNames[$month + 0] . (($month+0 > 11) ? $J.($year+1) : '&nbsp;'. $year) .' >&gt;&gt;</a>';
        }
        else
        {
         $prevMonth = "";
         $nextMonth = "";
        }
        $s .= "<table width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n";
        $s .= "<tr class=\"calendarHeader\">\n";
        $linkHeader = zen_href_link(FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR, "_month=$month&_year=$year");
        $s .= "<td align=\"left\" class=\"yearHeader\">\n";

      if(mktime (0,0,0,$month ,0,$year) > mktime (0,0,0,$this_month ,0,$this_year))
    {
           $s .= $prevMonth;
        }
        else
    {
           $s .= $prevMonth;
        }
            $s .= "</td>\n";
            $s .= "<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"$linkHeader\" target=\"_parent\">$header</a></td>\n";
            $s .= "<td align=\"right\" class=\"yearHeader\">$nextMonth</td></tr>\n";
            $s .= "<tr><td colspan=\"3\">\n";

2a. If you only want "< Month Year >" instead of "<< Month Year >>" in the above code, replace:

         $prevMonth = '<a href=index.php?main_page='. FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR_INCLUDE . '&eventmode=eventframe' .$this->getCalendarLink($prev[0], $prev[1]).' target=calendar title='. $this->monthNames[$month - 2] . (($month-2 < 1) ? $D.($year-1) : '&nbsp;'. $year) .' >&lt;&lt;</a>';

         $nextMonth = '<a href=index.php?main_page='. FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR_INCLUDE . '&eventmode=eventframe' . $this->getCalendarLink($next[0], $next[1]).' target=calendar title='. $this->monthNames[$month + 0] . (($month+0 > 11) ? $J.($year+1) : '&nbsp;'. $year) .' >&gt;&gt;</a>';

with

         $prevMonth = '<a href=index.php?main_page='. FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR_INCLUDE . '&eventmode=eventframe' .$this->getCalendarLink($prev[0], $prev[1]).' target=calendar title='. $this->monthNames[$month - 2] . (($month-2 < 1) ? $D.($year-1) : '&nbsp;'. $year) .' >&lt;</a>';

         $nextMonth = '<a href=index.php?main_page='. FILENAME_EVENTS_CALENDAR_INCLUDE . '&eventmode=eventframe' . $this->getCalendarLink($next[0], $next[1]).' target=calendar title='. $this->monthNames[$month + 0] . (($month+0 > 11) ? $J.($year+1) : '&nbsp;'. $year) .' >&gt;</a>';

2b. To show "<< Month >>" instead of "<< Month Year >>", change:

    function getMonthHTML($m, $y, $show = 1)

to

    function getMonthHTML($m, $y, $show = 0)

2c. To add some lines of space after the whole Year calendar view table in the centre column, replace this code

            $s .= "</table>\n";
	return $s;
         }
    function adjustDate($month, $year)

with

                $s .= "</table>\n";
	    $s .= "<br/><br/>\n";
                return $s;
            }
    function adjustDate($month, $year)

For more lines, add more <br />.

3. This mod needs to be tested against the latest zencart upgrade 1.3.9.

Anyone know how to run this mod without its iframe?

[gregsmith154]

Hi

I'm using this mod and it seems to work pretty well for me. Only issue is I've installed the SSU Simple SEO Urls mod also.

What happens is that the links from the little sidebox calendar go to:

mysite.com/shop/events_calendar/_month/5/_year/2010/year_view/0

rather than with the standard query string, so the variables aren't being picked up. Anyone have the same issue and know a fix??
