Topic: New Calendar Block

[mrtrc266]

In my previous SP was using this custom Calendar Block which you could totally customize by adding color codes and setting how many days out to fetch upcoming events. Can the new built in Calendar be customized like this as well?

Code: [Select]

<?php
/*
Calender DIN1031 Version 11-11-2008-1
This is a costumizable calendar php block
It will show a calendar, and add the Today Events, Holidays and Birthdays.
Normal it's programmed and tested for SMF 1.1.X
I don't use any SSI.php, because all data that needed is loaded.

I just noticed the Calendar Info Block that you can add below the Calendar and that's kinda what I'm after, but it would be great if it was all in the same block like in the code above.

[[SiNaN]]

It should be same. I mean if you have events or holidays or birthdays in that day or the day you click on, it should appear below the calendar. You cannot customize its style though, but I think you won't need it.

[mrtrc266]

In the new Calander it only shows the events below the calendar that are happening today. (yes they do pop up if you click on a day)

To get more future events to be shown in text below the calendar you need to add the Calendar Info block as well VS. this custom coded Calendar had everything in one block.

I need to have "Show Events" selected in both blocks so that Calendar can remain clickable and the result is that "Todays Events" are shown twice right on top of eachother

Just seems like it's kinda redudant to have 2 Calendar Blocks when there could be one block with all the setting via admin to select all the info you want to show. (No offense to anyone) This is all just IMO.

See the 1 vs 2 block pics.

You guys and gals kicked @&% on  making SP Rock! Thanks for all your hard work.

[[SiNaN]]

Well, the problem is that, the area below the calendar is supposed to show what's happening today. I can't see why it should be showing things that are in the future. They appear when you click on the day they are set on.

[mrtrc266]

I can't see why it should be showing things that are in the future. They appear when you click on the day they are set on.

I hear ya but then what is the purpose of the Calendar Info block? It's to show in text upcoming events vs. clicking on every single day of the month to see what's coming up. But then when you do have both the Calendar and Calendar info block enabled it shows "Todays Events" twice right on top of each other like in the pic I posted above.

It's no big deal, this custom code still works in SP2.2. Once again thanks for all your help and responses.

[[SiNaN]]

They are not supposed to be used together. People who want a full month calendar can use Calendar block and who just wants a list of what's happening in calendar would use Calendar Info block.

[tfs]

They are not supposed to be used together. People who want a full month calendar can use Calendar block and who just wants a list of what's happening in calendar would use Calendar Info block.

And if someone wants them both they're out of luck!

They are not supposed to be used together. People who want a full month calendar can use Calendar block and who just wants a list of what's happening in calendar would use Calendar Info block.

And if someone wants them both they're out of luck!   

No not out of luck, you just have to use 2 blocks instead of one but it shows the same event twice right next to eachother.

In the first post of this thread though you can use the code in a Custom PHP Block and it's fully customizable and shows everything in one block

The problem is that; I see no reason to display events/birthdays/holidays that does not belong to do selected day.

I guess it would depend on what you use the calendar for. I find it to be a nice feature because my members and I host a lot of private poker tournaments. And it's nice just to have all the info in one block vs. 2 blocks

Also if you have both blocks enabled it shows the same event twice right on top of each other.

You guys did a great job, I'm not knocking it in anyway, I just find it more convienient to use the custom code block.

It would be nice maybe to just create one calendar block and allow admins to choose just calendar or calendar and calendar info instead of having 2 seperate blocks.

My forum is probably different from most, and in my circumstances there's reasons that wouldn't exist at other forums.  Mine is a private family site where everyone is blood or marriage related.  Up and coming birthdays are important to them.  A block that displayed the birthdays in the next 30 days would be great.  My members like to post childhood photographs of each other on a person's birthday, and knowing who is up and coming is important to them.  I'd love to see something like...


GUI Calendar Here
----------------
--Events [30] (60) (90)
04/19 Jane concert
04/22 Harry's camping trip
05/02 Half Dome Hike!!!!

--Birthdays [30] (60) (90)
04/16 John (22) TODAY!
05/12 Jane (44)

--Holidays [30] (60) (90)
04/22 Earth Day

--Past Items [30] (60) (90)
04/15 Event - Potluck at Alan's
04/02 Event - Paul's party
03/30 Birthday - Paul (28)


The [30] (60) (90) portion allows them to click on it to expand the date range for the items in question, with the current selection defined in some manner.

Maybe one day I'll take up PHP and look into this stuff myself, but until then I'm just a begger, not a chooser.

Some people prefer full month calendar, and some others just a list of what's happening in calendar. It is more practical to have them separately.

Yours might be a different case. Logically, it should only be showing things that are on the selected day. You can just click on the days in the future to see what they have.

If you are happy with your custom calendar block, no problems here. It is just that we have to code built-in blocks for general purpose. If we try to implement every exceptional feature, then it would become a bloated mod.

Which makes them mutually exclusive.  If you use one then the other one is a mismatch.  Use them together and it makes your board look cheesy.

I propose the following...

GUI Calendar Here
----------------
--Events [30] (60) (90)--
04/19 Jane concert
04/22 Harry's camping trip
05/02 Half Dome Hike!!!!

--Birthdays [30] (60) (90)--
04/16 John (22) TODAY!
05/12 Jane (44)

--Holidays [30] (60) (90)--
04/22 Earth Day

--Past Items [30] (60) (90)--
04/15 Event - Potluck at Alan's
04/02 Event - Paul's party
03/30 Birthday - Paul (28)



Unfortunately I'm not a PHP programmer or I'd make it.

At this point you have 2 options, use the built in calendar that came with SP 2.2 or use the custom code block in the first post.

For the custom code, just create a PHP Block and insert the code and change your settings to your liking.

See the 1 vs 2 block pics.

You guys and gals kicked @&% on  making SP Rock! Thanks for all your hard work.

Can you post the custom code to get the block seen in the picture "calendar_singleblock.PNG"?

@noelleon69,

Use the code from the first post.

[noelleon69]

I did... it turned out different. It didn't look like the one in the picture.

Some of the differences are...
1) No icons next to the event
2) No upcoming events summary
3) The current day doesn't have [] brackets
4) There is no horizontal line separating the calendar and the events below

In the new Calander it only shows the events below the calendar that are happening today. (yes they do pop up if you click on a day)

To get more future events to be shown in text below the calendar you need to add the Calendar Info block as well VS. this custom coded Calendar had everything in one block.

I need to have "Show Events" selected in both blocks so that Calendar can remain clickable and the result is that "Todays Events" are shown twice right on top of eachother

Just seems like it's kinda redudant to have 2 Calendar Blocks when there could be one block with all the setting via admin to select all the info you want to show. (No offense to anyone) This is all just IMO.

See the 1 vs 2 block pics.

I'm having to use 2 blocks as well. No big deal, but it would be nice to have it all in one. http://ncvettes.com

Where did you get the script for the pic you attached?

Is it just me or when it comes to calendars most developers think they're not that worthwhile? SMF's ability to create a new forum topic from an event entry is the only one I've seen that can do that. It's terrific if you're running a site where events are the focus.

SP is great!

I can't get my Birthdays and events to show on the front page can someone help
