I haven’t used it for anything else than maintaining the language marker, so I can’t help you either.

Hi decoderltd,
I’m using qtip myself to show the details of calendar entries, and even if it’s a bit off-topic (it’s just a matter of finding the right jquery selectors, the qtip community can assist you with this kind of issues), here’s my solution.
First, I wouldn’t use TXP variables inside the script call, but I would play with selectors instead.

My calendar form looks like this:

<txp:smd_calendar section="events" id="mycal" maintain="section,calid" select="month, year::" yearwidth="0,1c"> 
<div class="cal_event">
   <div class="ev_title">
      <txp:permlink>event here</txp:permlink>  <!-- this is what is shown inside the calendar cell -->
   </div>
   <div class="ev_time">  <!-- this is what is shown inside the qtip box -->
      <txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
      Start: <txp:posted format="%H:%M" /><br/>   
      End: <txp:expires format="%H:%M" />
   </div> 
</div> 
</txp:smd_calendar>

Therefore I just tell qtip to show what’s inside the ev_time div when the mouse overs ev_title div. Since you want to do that for every ev_title, you should wrap everything inside a nice ‘each’ function:

$('.ev_title').each(function(){ // Use each to gain access to each element as $(this)
   		$(this).qtip({
      		content: $(this).next('div.ev_time'), // Use the element next to this with class bodytext for the tooltip content
      		hide: {    				 
   				fixed: true,
   				delay: 300, //this allows you to have the time to actually click on the event link
   				when: 'mouseout'
   			}
   			// your other options here
   		})
	});

Ladies’ 1st team

It’s probably being escaped (\’) to prevent the apostrophe breaking the tag. As a quick fix, try writing it with a proper apostrophe, e.g. Ladies’ 1st team.

Hi,
I have a problem with spanned events:
I am using customized datefields (for begin and end).

When using showspanned="1" in the current month’s calendar there is a bad effect: spanned-links of future events are shown all over the days.
Starting with the first, then with an end tag on the matching day number of the real events end, but continuing spanned-links to the end of this month.
e.g. now it’s May, in my calendar there is an event from 6th June to 9th in the next month.
Then this month May will show a spanned link from 1st to 8th, then an END-tag link on 9th, but then will continue placing spanned-links on all days to the end of May.

This occurs, if my calendar-section contains events for e.g. the next month in the customized date-fields BUT with a timestamp of this month now.
If I change the timestamp to the same month as the events date, everything seems to be fine.

If there are only events of this month, created/timestamped this month, then it works.

Unfortunately I need both groups of time related data:
customized datefields for begin and end for my events
AND timestamp/expire-fields for controlling publish time of those articles in another place than the calendar.

The effect looks like there is some mixed use of
datefield_begin/dateflied_end
and
timestamp/expire
when showspanned is calculated.

Any help on this?

Best regards
Michael

Hoping to use this incredible calendaring plug-in!

Anyone know of a live where it is used in a side nava area ( as a small cal ) linked to visit various full descriptions that appear in the main content area of a web page?
