Love the Calendar

I use one of those bloated message forums you probably laugh at (WWWThreads), and have greatly modified it where I am handling many user functions, etc all through the user lists and access levels.

I found your calendar, and have since modified it to where it ties into the WWWThreads Message Forums. I can assign Moderators, and those moderators have add/delete functionality on the calendar script (thus bypassing the calendar login).

All together I dig your script.

One thing I have not had time to sit down and figure out...

I have the calendar now setup on style sheets (again tied to the message forums). The background of the DAYS is set by this.

What I would like to see, and am working on (just don't have it yet) is the CURRENT DAY on the calendar to appear a highlighted color (ie - pale yellow) compared to all other days. This way you can tell at a glance what day is today...

I know this is an easy mod - just requires a call to check "today" - and say if (today) then "this color" else "normal"....but I don't have it coded yet.

Just something to stick out here. Thanks for a helluva tool Matt. My users love it.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you found a use for it. Yes, I do plan to implement that exact feature. In fact, I meant to do it a long time ago . Life has just been real busy...a new baby, installing all new database servers at work, and everything else...heh. Anyway, let me know where you are using it at (if you don't want to post it here, send me an email), I just like to see it in action

The calendar is actually locked against casual readers, and I must grant access to certain "groups" before the Calendar may be viewed. But if you are interested in seeing it - email me and I will send you the URL...

In terms of code to highlight the current day, here is the code:

UNDER...

function display() {

$num_of_rows = ceil(($this->days_in_month + $this->first_day_of_month) / 7.0);
$day = 1;

ADD:

$today = date ("d", time());

This gives you the day variable to call and compare...

IN THE FOLLOWING CODE...MODIFY:

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)) {

if($today == $day) {
echo "<TD VALIGN="top" ALIGN="left" WIDTH="14%" class="curday">";

} else {

echo "<TD VALIGN="top" ALIGN="left" WIDTH="14%" class="calendar">"; }


Basically what this does is change the beginning of the table field if the day is $today. I have my version setup on cascading style sheets (hence the class=curday compared to class=calendar). All you would need to do is introduce a variable in the config for a CURRENT_DAY_COLOR and you are set.

Holler at me if you would like!
