smd_calendar: complete schedule / event / calendar / diary

decoderltd · 2010-02-01 13:13:17

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to download the latest version of this plug-in but it keeps truncating the code (compressed version too). I’m using Firefox and Safari on OS X, can anyone help?

Thanks.

Does the cheeky direct download do the same?

Thanks Stef,

The Cheeky Direct Download worked perfectly.

Sorry if this has already been answered but is there a way to get the current date highlighted?

Edit: Problem solved! Silly me

Hello,

I do hope I didn’t miss anything in the previous answering my question.

Does the Textpattern Advanced Pref ‘Publish expired articles’ take precedence over whatever expired is set to in <txp:smd_article_event …>? Because with my installation it appears to.
I have set ‘Publish expired articles’ to “yes” and now <txp:smd_article_event expired="0" …> does no longer exclude expired articles.

I’m no programmer but I was curious, so I looked at the plugin’s code. Within the smd_article_event-function I found the line

$expired = ($expired) ? $expired : $prefs['publish_expired_articles'];

and thought, this has something to do with it. So I added

/* INSERTION*/
		echo ("\n<!-- ### Expired before ". $expired ." ### -->");
/* END OF INSERTION*/
	$expired = ($expired) ? $expired : $prefs['publish_expired_articles'];
/* INSERTION*/
		echo ("\n<!-- ### Expired after ". $expired ." ### -->");
/* END OF INSERTION*/

around it, which results in

<!-- ### Expired before 0 ### -->
<!-- ### Expired after 1 ### -->

telling my unlearned eyes: this is the culprit. But is this intended behaviour or is something wrong with my setup?

Id be very thankful for any thoughts.

Kind regards

Taggart

It’s not supposed to but you found a bug. Stupidity on my part, d’oh. Thanks to your excellent diagnostics I can tell you how to fix it temporarily too until the next version comes along:

$expired = ($expired) ? $expired : $prefs['publish_expired_articles'];

is wrong. It should be:

$expired = ($expired != '') ? $expired : $prefs['publish_expired_articles'];

That should also be fixed in the smd_calendar tag, around line 140 in your code. Note that the line after it is OK though, even though it uses the same logic, because by that time the value will be either 0 or 1.

Sorry about that, and thanks for spotting it.

Wow, Stef, that was a quick reply! Thank you very much, the new line works just as it should.

Do keep up the great work!

Hello,

I have some problems with smd_calendar – maybe the problem sits in front of my computer. :-)
Here is my first: I’m in Germany and we have a month with „Umlaut“: März. When I use txp:smd_cal_now, txp:smd_article_event or txp:smd_calendar I get a symbol with questionmark instead of the „ä“. See it under www.cunde.de/mwtermine/?m=3&y=2010&s=mwtermine

Can someone help me?

Thanks Stef for your great work!

I don’t see a question mark on my (English) browser. I see a weird character instead:

Note it’s also in the article title and the posted date. Are they generated by TXP tags or smd_calendar? If it’s TXP then it’s probably an encoding issue or a browser thing rather than the plugin.

Not sure what to suggest really. afaik, the calendar plugin can output i18n/l10n stuff as long as the character set is installed in TXP/the browser/the machine you are using. Perhaps someone else with more grounding in character sets and browsers can help track this one down.

Wow Stef, thanks for your quick answer!

Yes, it is different on different machines here too.

Are they generated by TXP tags or smd_calendar?

They are all generated by smd_calendar.

The title by:

<txp:smd_cal_now now=”?day-?month-?year” format=”%B %G” />

the posted date an description by:

<txp:smd_article_event section=“mwtermine” form=“mw_terminartikel” time=“any” allspanned=“1” limit=“5” sort=“Posted asc” stepfield=“custom_8” extrafield=“custom_9” from=’<txp:smd_cal_now now=“01-?month-?year” />’ to=’<txp:smd_cal_now now=”?month-?year” offset=“1 month” />’ type=“standard, recur, multi, extra” expired=“1” />

with the form /mw_terminartikel/ :

<h4><a href=”<txp:permlink />?d=<txp:posted format=”%d” />&m=<txp:posted format=”%m” />&y=<txp:posted format=”%G” />” title=”<txp:title />”><txp:if_custom_field name=“Kurztitel”><txp:custom_field name=“Kurztitel” /><txp:else /><txp:title /></txp:if_custom_field></a></h4>
<p class=“datum”><txp:posted format=”%A, der %e. %B %Y” /><txp:if_custom_field name=“Kurzinhalt”> – <txp:custom_field name=“Kurzinhalt” /></txp:if_custom_field></p>
<txp:excerpt />

Thanks for your help!

What happens if you supply the lang argument to the smd_cal_now and txp:posted tags? e.g. :

<txp:posted format="%A, der %e. %B %Y" lang="de" />

? Does that fix things?

wolle · 2010-02-13 16:49:33

My hero! :-)

<txp:posted format="%A, der %e. %B %Y" lang="de" />

This inside the articleform, used by <txp:smd_article_event form="..." /> corrects the character-problem of this posted-tag and of the <txp:smd_calendar ... /> but not the output of the @<txp:smd_cal_now … />.

Changing the last one to <txp:smd_cal_now now=”?day-?month-?year” format=”%B %G” lang="de" /> corrects it too.

It is a little bit confusing for me, that <txp:smd_calendar ... /> reacts with its encoding on a parameter in the articleform for <txp:smd_article_event form="..." /> .

You brightened my day, Stef. :-)
Many thanks for your help!
