Following the recent trend of Calendar MOD questions etc., I am at the stage ready to incorporate the mod with the adjustments, but just before I do start, I notice on the Calandar first page ie cal_default.asp file displaying inside default.asp, the current month calandar box does not have any navigation arrows to jump to previous and next months. Whereas, if you visit cal.asp, by clicking on the Events Calendar title, the current month shows the left right arrows to navigate.

Has this feature been deliberately missed on the calendar front page or could we see if it could be added for a better navigation feature.


Additionally, when you are in cal.asp - the Day, Week, Month, Year, Events List titles all display except for the one selected ie if you are in cal.asp?view=yearly the year title heading is blank and the others display okay. Could we incorporate a facility to ensure all titles are displayed with say a background image ie add (bgcolor=""" & strCategoryBGImage & """) and the the current focused heading is reverted back to strCategoryHeadColor only? Thus still showing the year title. Example here
Just an idea

I too noticed the Day, Week, Month etc. headers. It turns out, at least I think, it only does this in IE7. If you look at it in FireFox or Safari the current view is not blank. I think it has something to do with the cal_style.asp file.<

Here is the cal_style.asp code:

%>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="config.asp"-->
.cal_activetab, .cal_activeborder
{background-color: <%= strHeadCellColor %>; font: Bold 10pt <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; color:<%= strHeadFontColor %>; }
.cal_inactivetab
{background-color: <%= strAltForumCellColor %>; font: 10pt <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; color:<%= strForumFontColor %>; }
.cal_inactivetab:hover
{background-color: white;}


.cal_smallfont
{font: 11px/100% <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; color: <%= strForumFontColor %>}
.cal_listitem
{display: list-item; list-style: square inside; margin:0px; padding:0px; color: <%= strForumFontColor %>}
.cal_indented
{margin-left: 16px; }

.cal_smallcalendar
{font: 11px/100% <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; color: <%= strForumFontColor %>; background-color: <%= strAltForumCellColor %>;}
.cal_smallcalendar td
{height:15px; text-align:center;}
.cal_smallcalendar a:link, .cal_smallcalendar a:visited
{color: <%= strForumLinkColor %>; text-decoration:none; }
.cal_smallcalendar a:hover
{color:<%= strForumHoverFontColor %>; text-decoration:<%= strForumHoverTextDecoration %>}
.cal_smallcalendar a:active
{color:<%= strForumHoverFontColor %>; text-decoration:<%= strForumActiveTextDecoration %>}

.cal_largecalendar td
{font: 11px/100% <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; background-color: <%=strAltForumCellColor%>; vertical-align:top;}
.cal_largecalendar a:link, .cal_largecalendarcell a:visited
{color: <%= strForumLinkColor %>; text-decoration: none;}
.cal_largecalendar a:hover
{color:<%= strForumHoverFontColor %>; text-decoration:<%= strForumHoverTextDecoration %>}
.cal_largecalendar a:active
{color:<%= strForumHoverFontColor %>; text-decoration:<%= strForumActiveTextDecoration %>}

.cal_datedisabled
{color: <%= strAltForumCellColor %>;}
#cal_datetoday
{border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid black;}
.isevent a:link, .isevent a:visited
{color: red ; font-weight: bold;}

The part in red is the part that I think is supposed to control the colors but no matter what I do, nothing seems to change. According to the above the Day, Week, Month, etc header should be my head cell color. Instead it is a light gray. <

Leatherlips, I have just installed the Events Calendar mod and found that in cal.asp the Day, Week, Month, Year, Events List titles all display okay. I was looking at your forum prior to installation and it may be that the in/active header attribute colours are the same as the forum/table background, just a thought..

cal_inactivetab {background-color: <%= strAltForumCellColor %>; font: 10pt <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; color:<%= strForumFontColor %>; }

This is getting me confused.

.cal_activetab, .cal_activeborder
   {background-color: <%= strHeadCellColor %>; font: Bold 10pt <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; color:<%= strHeadFontColor %>; }
.cal_inactivetab
   {background-color: <%= strAltForumCellColor %>; font: 10pt <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; color:<%= strForumFontColor %>; }
.cal_inactivetab:hover
   {background-color: white;}

If I changed the part above in red to strHeadCellColor, shouldn't that make it use my header cell color which is a blue color? Mine is still grey. Maybe I'm making the change in the wrong place?<

If you take a look at my cal.asp
You will notice:
1. the active month header is blue ie strHeadCellColor (yours looks the same colour as as your strPagebgcolor)
2. the inactive headers are dull green ie strAltForumCellColor #e3eaca
3. the cell colours again dull green ie strAltForumCellColor #e3eaca
4. the table background is light green ie strForumCellColor #e4f8d7
5. The forum Base Background Color ie strPagebgcolor is pale blue ie #CEDFED

Have you got a header color the same as 5?

How could I get it to use my background gif's? I looked in my font/color section and in there for my Header Background Color I have #9999FF which is a dark blue.

I've tried using strHeadCellImage but that doesn't seem to work.<

Try cal_style.asp: lines 12-17
.cal_activetab, .cal_activeborder
{background-image:url('gradient2.gif'); font: Bold 10pt <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; color:<%= strHeadFontColor %>; }
.cal_inactivetab
{background-image:url('gradient.gif'); font: 10pt <%= strDefaultFontFace %>; color:<%= strForumFontColor %>; }
.cal_inactivetab:hover
{background-color: white;}


Where 'gradient2.gif' points to file location where STRHEADCELLBGIMAGE is and 'gradient.gif' points to file location where STRCATEGORYCELLBGIMAGE is..

It works on my Events calendar.<

As I navigate through the weekly view of the cal.asp and I notice:
1. The events message is not listed on the last weekday, just the event heading see link
2. The messages are not aligned to the weekly view table cells top.
3. If there is more than one event for a particular day only one event message shows see link
Are there any solutions for these anomolies?<

Strange. I did however notice that on this page: http://www.lynehamvillage.com/forum/cal.asp?view=weekly&date=11/07/2008 it does show more than one event for a particular day. It must be something with that last day of the week.<

I checked my calendar and I do not seem to have this problem. See here. Perhaps you did not place some of the code in the correct place? Or maybe you changed something unintentionally?<

Thinking about the coding, I have looked through cal.asp (sub WeeklyView) from line 354 and I can not find the code which determines how the events message displays, especially for the last day of the week show, Example
You will also notice that the Sat 5 July Event (Calne Country Music Festival), the event title is displaying but no message text underneath, however, when you click on the title the message displays okay in topic.asp see link

With what you have suggested about some code not put in correctly I have inserted your cal.asp page from above and the same problem occurs. Indicating the cal.asp might be okay or is it?

Firstly, I see there are some changes on your [leatherlips] forum cal.asp since the last dialog, so could you please email me a copy of your latest cal.asp so I can see the differences.

Alternatively, does anyone know what determines the events message to display in all weekly fields and in particular the last day of the week.

I recall that during the installation of this mod, running the dbs_cal.asp file That I had a couple of Dropping Column error messages.

Dropping Column...
ALTER TABLE FORUM_TOPICS DROP COLUMN T_ISEVENT
ALTER TABLE FORUM_TOPICS DROP COLUMN T_ISEVENT
-2147217900 | [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] There is no field named 'T_ISEVENT' in table 'FORUM_TOPICS'.

Dropping Column...
ALTER TABLE FORUM_A_TOPICS DROP COLUMN T_ISEVENT
ALTER TABLE FORUM_A_TOPICS DROP COLUMN T_ISEVENT
-2147217900 | [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] There is no field named 'T_ISEVENT' in table 'FORUM_A_TOPICS'.

Have these anything to do with the way the events message does not display properly?

thank you in advance..

Further to my above:
Investigating the symptoms:
I have noticed that the event title diplays ok but there is no event message on the last day of the week see link
then you navigate forward one week, link and the previously missing event message for Swindon Kite Festival appears on this new page. So it appears that the database has the event message, also when you click on the event title the event message appears in topic.asp
Looking at the second link in this post link It appears that the event message is not showing for 13th May.

[break]
I have just added a new Test Event for 14th May on same link page, and noticed that the event message will not display on cal.asp (weekly view). ??????????
When you are adding events in weekly view all the event titles appear vertically aligned, whereas as a normal visitor not logged in or a member, the titles appear aligned at the bottom of the weekly date cell. ????
Getting mind boggling!

Here is a text copy of my current cal.asp file. I only made a few minor changes. One is the arrows on the Week page. For me they were too close to the date. Now there is a bit of space between them and the date. Also on the Day page I put a break between the event title and event description. I didn't like them right next to each other.<
