2 issues...please help.

Hi all,
please disregard my other topic with some of the content as below.
I successfully installed the calendar. But unable to customize:
1. Wish I could remove the small navigation on left and make the table central. When i removed the small navigation, my tablecolumns became of unqual lenght and moved to left side as in the picture:


2.Wish to have a daily feature as in
www.proverbs.biz (gives you a complete daily timings with blocked out events; so one can know the 'free' times)

and a weekly feature as in
http://camrd4.mc.duke.edu/webcalendar for weekly listings.

Could somebody please help me out?

Thanks,

drb

I can look into adding these. There is a list view that could be tweaked to include empty time slots I'm sure. How soon do you need something? Weekly/Daily views are OK, but once you start blocking out time slots it becomes more of a schedule application rather than an event calendar. The difference being many events can happen concurrently, but one person or resource can only be scheduled to one event at one time.

awesome!!
I did not expect reply this soon. Thanks.

Actually I am trying to modify this into a schedule/event calendar hence I am requesting the above 2 features.

My background is in medicine. I have very very little idea on php and just basically tinker with pro people's software like yours and learn slowly.

If you can help me out at the earliest, I would appreciate that.

But both features are essential for me.

Thanks,

Please do let me know.

What browser/changes did you make to get the above screenshot by the way? I just removed all of the enclosing table code out of ltw_header.php and ltw_footer.php and it just stretches to fill the extra space (in Konqueror and IE6)

I removed the following code in header.php
<td width="10%">Sample left nav area</td>

and then made the next <td> width 100% instead of 90.

I am using IE (actually maxthon browser with IE engine).

thanks for the help.,

just a minute ago, i got an idea. I put back the code. Made the width 0% and removed 'sample nav area' text. Now my calendar spans entire space and looks great!!

Hope you can help me out with daily and weekly views with daily view-showing all times. Your script is awesome especially the pdf making ability.

Ah, that works too. Basically if you want to get the code to work without the two columns (for future reference) you have to specify width="100%" in the <table> tag, and remove colspan="2" from the header and footer <td>

I think I can work something out. I wouldn't expect to have any deliverable before next Friday though, depending on how much OT I have to put in at work this week.

Thanks for helping me out. Looking forward..

I have a question on the table layout. Table's cell expands and collapses based on the events in it. More it has bigger the cell gets while empty cells gets squished. So all rows and columns are uneven when I look in the browser.

However, if I print pdf, everything is of equal width and height. Is this an anomaly with my setup? Can I have fixed measurements in browsers?

thanks,

drb

That really depends on how many events you're talking about. If all the events fit in one normal-sized cell in html it shouldn't change the shape at all, but it will normally expand to accomodate extra content, unless you specify otherwise using a stylesheet (that hasn't been done in ltwCalendar)

Events on the PDF would likely just bleed into the next week if there were too many in one day, since the rendering is completely different, and space is limited to an 8.5x11" sheet of paper.

Progress is going a little slower than I'd hoped, but you can get a working version with the day view replaced with a schedule view using a subversion client if you want to check it out, make suggestions.

svn export from this url/branch:
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot...schedule_views/

I just overwrote existing files.

It looks awesome. When i click on the date.
I am not sure how to get the listview and also weekly view.

Instead 15 min, increments, can u make it 1/2 increments or better 1 hr increments with just a line inbetween indicating 1/2 hr. Now daily list looks wordy with so many numbers.

Still I am trying to find a handle on why my table cell dimensions gets altered with more events. But as you said in a month view, it is better to have all events laid out. But it alters the layout.

i am confused.

anyway, I am quite excited with the new additions. Thanks a bunch.

The list view is/has always been accessible via a query:

http://ltwcalendar.sourceforge.net/calendar.php?display=list

The weekly view hasn't made the long journey from my brain to the keyboard yet, I'm afraid.

I have been trying to use daily events list--it looks perfect!. Except for too many numbers.

On second thoughts, I think I know why there are so many numbers (15 min increments)-is because you already have such a drop-down menu in 'add event'.

I think it would look simpler if it is 1/2increment but naming only 1 hr.

Graphics-very cool blue color.

Can u help me with this please:
1. How can I make the table smaller size overall and center it and not span 100% width wise?
2.In the drop-down menu,years are until 2008? so will the calendar cease to function after 2008?
3.How can replace next month and previous month (right now they are text links) with images?
4. Is it possible to automatically email all users daily (in the morning) with a list of events for that particular day?
5. How about alerts specific to users for their own events?

thanks,

Best,
drb

NOTE: hope you will get a chance to finish the weekly view too.

Working on it.



1. It's doable, you might have to edit some of the code in ltwdisplaymonth.php if you aren't abel to do it using the header/footer.
2. The dropdowns are based on the current date, and the range is configurable (at least I recall someone saying that)
3. <img> tag inside the link instead of text. (edit ltwdisplaymonth.php
4. Web applications generally don't run automatically, though you could write a script to send emails, and set up a cron job/scheduled task to run once a day.
5. Events aren't assigned to individuals. It would be possible add assign events to people to the database, but I think some of the event calendar specific features need polishing before going into a design/test cycle for that.



I hacked the month view into a week view, it's in the repository, but nowhere near complete.
