If I’ve understood correctly, try setting the article’s Posted/Expires dates as normal and use the datefields attribute to specify one or two custom fields to hold the date the actual event is to occur/expire.

If I set an “Posted/Expired” date would that remove the event from my list of articles?

Depends on your article / smd_article_event tag. TXP’s posted/expires is the date the article shows up in your regular article flow; whether that’s now or in the future.

If you use the datefields attribute you’d normally set your Posted/Expires to sometime “now” and use datefields to “advertise” your event coming up in future on particular dates.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the calendar that MLP can alter. The columns are customisable by you and already locale sensitive. The injection of the /en/ in the URL structure is handled by MLP itself so if it is not doing it in this case then I would hazard a guess it is because it cannot handle ? variables like the calendar gives. You’re not using MLP in a subdirectory are you?

I’m not sure what do you mean by that…I’ve just installed txp in root directory of localhost, and have add mlp as a plugin…i don’t have some subdirectories neather inside or outside of txp…after that i’ve add your plugin, i’ve put <txp:smd_calendar section=“mysection” size=“small”/> on page, and that’s it…hmmm I’ll check all once more, …

Stef: quoting myself (regarding MLP and smd_calendar):

…the problem was in the calendar navigation. When using the dropdown to navigate to another month it lost the language marker in the URL, and when using the >> arrows, the language marker was kept, but the section name (calendar) went missing. Or the other way around, I don’t remember exactly.

You couldn’t have seen it because it was in an email :) At the moment the two just don’t work together, but now that Stef is also involved in MLP development, let’s just wait and hope ;)

I don’t know of one. I’d forgotten about the MLP navigation issue (thanks for the reminder, Els!) so I’ll look into it. I can’t promise it’ll be within 6-7 days but I will try to find some time as soon as I can.

Re: smd_calendar: complete schedule / event / calendar / diary

Hi. I tried your calendar and it works great. But suddenly I noticed that for some reason the today date is invisible. I thought at first it was my stylesheet (its a green calendar and todays date should be white on a darker green background), that i made the “today” textcolor the same as the background, but the css seem correct, and the date is not even selectable as i guess i would be if it was there but had the same color as the backgound. What might be wrong?

#calendar td.smd_cal_today {
background-color:#669933;
border:1px solid #FFFFFF;
color:#FFFFFF;
}

Hmmm. One thing that immediately springs to mind is the order of your stylesheet rules. Take a look in Firebug at today’s cell and note how many other flags/classes there are in it. Then check your stylesheet. Most of the time you’ll want the ‘today’ rule last (after all other cell classes) so it overrides any other flags in the cell. If it’s not that I don’t know unless you can send me a link to the site so I can have a look.

Re: smd_calendar: complete schedule / event / calendar / diary

My Skipfield and extra fields aren’t working. Can anyone see anything wrong?

<div id="calendar_full">
			<div id="event_calendar">
<txp:smd_calendar category="calendar-event" yearwidth="c,1c" firstday="0" stepfield="custom_1" skipfield="custom_2" extrafield="custom_3" select="month::, year::">

<p class="vevent <txp:category1 />">
<a class="summary" href="<txp:if_custom_field name="event_alternative_link"> 
<txp:custom_field name="event_alternative_link" /><txp:else />
<txp:permlink /></txp:if_custom_field>
" target="_parent">
<span class="dtstart" title="<txp:posted format="%G-%m-%d" />"><txp:posted format="%I:%M %p" /> -</span> <txp:title /></a>
</p>

</txp:smd_calendar>

and in my fields as a test i tried…

custom_1: 10 ?month,25 ?month
custom_2: 25-may-2009
custom_3: 18-may-2009

UPDATE skip and extra fields definitely aren’t working on my local server. Tried some of the example setups you gave. No idea why
