[Koth]

Please read my previous message... you don't get the enw calendar button because your index.php is not yed modified.. it should be the only reason.

Great job Aaron!  I have been looking for something like this for a while for my site.  I had not even thought about making it a part of the board.  

It works great but I would like to see one enhancement.  I would love to add holidays without having to have a message attached.  If there is already a way and I have not seen it please let me know.

Thanks!

Hrm, that's a good idea, I wouldn't mind seeing that either. I'd be really simple to add, but some sucker would need to provide a list of holidays. I'll add that with some of the more prominent holidays. The holidays might be slighly american biased.

What I'll probably do is add another table: <prefix>calendar_holiday and you can just add/remove rows from that table to make them show on the calendar.

Will be easy to patch in if you are already running the calendar, just a few changes to Calendar.php.

That's actually only gonna work for fixed holidays. Some of them float around... Easter? I think that's one of them. I'm not sure how to represent those.

I can do something like if you enter a holiday and only provide a month and a day (no year) it will assume that holiday always happens on the same date. If you enter a year along with it, it will only display for that specific year, but you'd have to add the holidays by hand each year to make them show up, or preload the table with a few years worth of data for those particular holidays.

Any thoughts on floating holidays?

Do you like that yellow color for today date?.. No I don't.. Let change the whole box's color.!  

Was thinking about changing that too. Not exactly like what you did, but something similar. Like vBulletin actually was what I was thinking.

I saw you pulled out all of the prompts. That was another thing on my todo list that's coming in the next version.

It would be my great pleasure, if you want to continue from my work. I don't want any credit for it at all. Because it has been your work anyway. I just want to contribute something that I can do. We need a standard for language file...I think.

I put up version 1.1 of the Calendar mod. The updated version is available at the same link: Calendar Mod

There are instructions in the Readme.txt on how to update from version 1.0 to 1.1. There isn't that much to do: Replace Calendar.php, couple changes to ModSettings.php, add the prompts to <language>.lng and the database changes.

Changes:

Added a title to the calendar so it won't show up as the URL in the browser's title bar.

Changed the way the Current Day is displayed. Does it like vBulletin does it. This looks differnet in all the browsers. Looks good in IE, looks sorta right in Netscape, but the colors are a little dark. In Opera it appears as a black outline around the day.

Removed all the prompts from the source and placed in language file.

Added some color selections to the Mod Settings screen.

Added holidays. There are a bunch of sample holidays in the Readme.txt file. By default there is no prompt in the calendar for the holidays (like "Events:" or "Birthdays:"), but if you want one, you can add it in the <language>.lng file (there's a comment in the .lng file).

Used vorapoap's idea to use short month names in the Prev/next links.

I'm not sure if I had uploaded the right zip file. If you downloaded the 1.1 ver mod before this message was posted, you might want to grab it again. I think uploaded the original one rather than 1.1. I redownloaded this one and am reasonably sure it's the right now now.

Very nice !
So I won't update CalendarA la.. hee hee

Do you have an idea for lunar-high and low?.. Many Asian holidays are according to this. If you don't have a plan .. I will make a permament mod from yours....

How do you mean, like phases of the moon? Can you describe a little bit about what you want to see and how you envision going about it and to what use you would apply it? All that will help me understand the problem so I can think about what would need to be done.

I don't know what you call in English.. the moon has 15 phases when it becomes full moon..then another 15 phases for it to become invisible.. and so on and so on..  it also benefits those who want to go surfing or something....

Anyway.... soon, somebody will begin to request for graphic icon for an event ... I think you have this feature in your mind already.

That might be kind of amusing to do.  I'll see if I can come up with a moon phase indicator.

It is alright if you don't want to do it.. I think.. half of Asian's holidays depends on full moon.. huh.. so strange??? You can tell me if you are not interested... So I can make a mod from your mod na.
