Hightlight Current Day

How would i get it to highlight the current day? Nice calendar btw.

I was able to "sort of" take care of this; by adding a class to the stylesheet called "td.curday"

defined the background color in there...

Then I added the following code to line 245 of ltwdisplaymonth

$thisday = $date("j,l,Y");

(just below function displayMonth() )

Then I added the following to the section on ltwdisplaymonth that defines the TD (which is somewhere around line 389 in my editor:

echo "<td class="curday" width="14%" height="" . (100 / $num_of_rows) . "%">";

$this->_popup_link("day",$this->php_self."?display=day&stamp=".$this->stamp."&day=".$day."&returnto=month",$day);

echo "<br>";

} else {

echo "<td class="cal" width="14%" height="" . (100 / $num_of_rows) . "%">";

$this->_popup_link("day",$this->php_self."?display=day&stamp=".$this->stamp."&day=".$day."&returnto=month",$day);

echo "<br>"; }

(that's more of an edit actually)

However, the only problem I'm working on ironing out is WHY it's now highlighting not only TODAYS date, but every "12th" of EVERY month.

I changed your code to highlight only the current day. First I created the style as you did, and called it td.cal-today. Then I changed to the following lines in displayMonth():



I re-ordered the $today calculation to make it easier to compare against today, and inserted a variable into the class statement.

Thought that I would lift the veil of anonymity and claim that I wrote the above.

Thanks a bunch. I'll throw that in and see how it works

Ok, I am able to get the day to show in lightblue. If I change the css "table.cal" to yellow the whole thing goes yellow. If I take out the "table.cal-today" it doesn't work.

I don't mind having the highlight being lightblue, but the day shows in the center. I can't seem to get it to work.

Please HELP !

here is what I added to the css file


table.cal-today {
background-color: lightblue;^M
height: 600px;^M
border-style: none;^M
border-width: 3px;^M
font-family: sans-serif^M
}



Thanks,

Take a look at the default definition:
Looks like you're missing the text-align and vertical-align settings. Also, you're using table.cal-today instead of td.cal-today. You want to modify the column, not the entire table... I think it should be like this:

Thanks that worked.

Hi,

I've tried to modify the displaymonth and I keep getting a parse error. I was wondering if you could help me figure out what I've done wrong.

The main problem I can't figure out is where to add the code you guys posted here. On my display month the " $today = date('Y-m-d',str..." is not part of the "echo "<td class="cal" wi..."

I've tried different variations, i.e., adding all the code to one area, breaking it up, and just using part of it, but I still get the parse/fatal error.

Any suggestions?

Here's where the code should go (this is in my version 4.1.3 code):

echo "<tbody>n";
for ( $i = 1; $i <= $num_of_rows; $i++ ){
echo "<tr>n";
for ( $j = 0; $j < 7; $j++ ){
if ( (($i == 1) && ($this->first_day_of_month <= $j)) || (($i > 1) && ($day <= $this->days_in_month)) ){

// date to store in DB is CREATED like this
$today = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($this->year . "-" . $this->month . "-" . $day));
$todayTS = strtotime($today);

if ($today == date("Y-m-d")) {
$cal="cal-today";
} else {
$cal="cal";
}

echo "<td class="$cal" width="14%" height="" . (100 / $num_of_rows) . "%">";
$this->_popup_link("day",$this->php_self."?display=day&stamp=".$this->stamp."&day=".$day."&returnto=month",$day);
echo "<br>";

} else {

$this->_popup_link("day",$this->php_self."?display=day&stamp=".$this->stamp."&day=".$day."&returnto=month",$day);
echo "<br>";
