Re: Integrating a 3rd-party app into Textpattern: EasyPHPCalendar
> It struck me that I also need to place this line just before the </head> entry:
Please read the documentation regarding the integration!
There must be a link to the CSS file in the header (just before the </HEAD> tag) of any page that displays the Easy PHP Calendar script.
<?php $CSS=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>
</head>Textpattern translation :)
<txp:php>$CSS=1; require("calendar/calendar.php");</txp:php>
</head>No spaces after/before the <txp:php> tags!
If you use the mouse-over option, make sure the code below is in the BODY section of any PHP page that will display the Easy PHP Calendar script (preferably the first line below the <body> tag.
<body>
<?php $OL=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>I am not willing to copy the whole documentation to this thread so please go and have a look yourself :-)

Re: Integrating a 3rd-party app into Textpattern: EasyPHPCalendar
Hi merz1
Thanks for checking the EasyPHPCalendar documentation but I had already done this.
I am going to bump this question over to their forums as the first line:
<txp:php>$CSS=1; require("calendar/calendar.php");</txp:php>
</head>Is working… The $CSS=1; snippet calls the cascading style sheet into existence and this is definitely working. (Looking at the output HTML while in debug mode.)
It’s just the $OL=1; that is not.
I’ll post back here when I get it running.
Thanks!

Well, that was the main reason why I wanted to check the documentation because I didn’t want to end up clueless :)
Did you check the other calendar output modes?

Re: Integrating a 3rd-party app into Textpattern: EasyPHPCalendar
DOH!
The answer is so simple that I feel a right fool…
You have this line in the <HEAD> of the page:
<txp:php>$CSS=1; require("path_to/calendar.php");</txp:php>
</HEAD>And then you have TWO instances (with a variation) in the <BODY> of the page – this:
<txp:php>$OL=1; require("path_to/calendar.php");</txp:php>to tell it that any calendar displayed on the page should have mouse-over enabled and then this:
<txp:php>require("path_to/calendar.php");</txp:php>to actually display the calendar.
Works great and a big thanks to everyone who helped me with this!

Re: Integrating a 3rd-party app into Textpattern: EasyPHPCalendar
Good that the calendar works now as you had expected it to work :)
But to me the solution looks ugly. So for every instruction the calendar requires / must have a trailing require("path_to/calendar.php");?
Are those necessary two instances mentioned in the documentation? If not the calendar guys should update their installation instructions and/or develop a more elegant calendar call with parameters.
