Nope. It wouldn’t be terribly hard to do, simply run two querie’s that return true if there are article’s in the specified month (one for next and previous month). A nice feature though, I’ll add it to the suggested for future versions box. I’ve got a new version that does clean URL’s much better, thanks to Manfre, but I’m going to get them even better before I release into the wild (and messy URL’s also need work).

hey greenrift.. thank you for making that calendar.. i know some people apparently abhor the little calendars (i’m not referring to the large event-style calendars), but i actually really like them. i don’t expect this to be any sort of a top priority for you, but if you’l be working on this wonderful plugin further, i’d really like to be able to edit the days of the week (M T W ~ Mon Tue Wed, etc.) and the < to &laquo.., and especially to be able to change/remove the zeros (01 02 03… 09 10 —> 1 2 3… 9 10).. those would be extra-splendid. and the way i had set mine up in movable type, i was able to show the entries for a given day in the ‘title’ or the url of the day.. so it was only visible on hover, but there nonetheless.. i don’t suppose that’s as easy to do, though? regardless, this is a beautiful plugin and i’m thankful someone made it. thanks, greenrift. :)

EDIT: i did find the very very simple solution to removing the zeros.. for anyone who was as dense as me about it, the way you do it is just to go to your plugins listing on your textpattern admin panel and click on the calendar plugin, and you’ll get the whole code of it…

find the lines
<code>/* doubleDigit($num)
/* Padds a single digit number to double digit.
*/</code>

and in place of the “0”, just…. make it blank: “ “. that’s it.
that’s probably how i’ll be editing the days of the week and the left and right arrows too, huh.

thanks again, greenrift, for this plugin :)

Thank you, greenrift. Awesome plugin.

I have articles posted on the 13th and 10th but the links show up on the 12th and 9th. Any idea why it is doing that?

HarryTick · 2004-06-20 21:22:08

I’ve figured it out (I think)….it’s a timezone difference. The date the article shows is from my timezone +4hrs and my server is located somewhere near 0hrs, would like to be able to set it to read the date of the article, without reading the date of the server. Don’t have near enough time to look into doing it myself, but something to look at.

I’m new to TXP, and the event list plugin is one of the things I’m looking for. However, I’m trying to list, say, 5 of 20 events on a page and have a “Next 5” type link. Is there a way to create this link?

No, not currently. I could probably add something that would do that.

Hmm… I’m afraid I don’t understand the upcoming event plugin. Where does it draw its upcoming articles from, or rather, what do I have to do to have an article listed by it?

You post an article that is meant to be published in the future, where it says “Post article at” or “Published at” you make to a date in the future (make sure to uncheck the “set timestamp to now” if it is a new article).

All publishing at a later date does is make it not appear on the frontpage until the day it is supposed to be published.

Thanks, works great now.

There’s a “time offset” under site preferences, would that fix it?

No, I have the same problem, my server time being -8hours and my local time being +10 hours makes my posts appear in the Calendar as if they were posted a full day behind.

However, I spoke to greenrift last night about it and I do believe he is working on a fix! =)

Is there any possibility to replace the English month names by other ones. I did not have any problerm replacing the days, but if I could replace the Month names by numbers (e.g. “7/2004” instead of “July 2004”), this would be great.

Any ideas?

Hey greenrift,
I really like this but i need some help.
I would like to have a calender setup like you have on your archieve page (i want to do something similar as this is the only way i can get a decent archive section) but i dont know how to get it to display like that.
Here is my site’s archive page: http://www.opensauce.co.uk/index.php?s=archive

It looks really funny.
Thanks in advance.
