EE1.x: Showing multiple events in calendar

Hi,

I have an event calendar set up to display links to individual events. However, if there is more than one event on a particular day, the calendar displays a date for each event. (See attached image showing a duplicate 7). Is there a way to group events so that the link will go to that all of a days events - so showing one date, rather than an individual event? Or even better, display a list of links on mouse over? (As shown in second image).

Thanks for any help.

Andrew

Hi, Andrew.

Can you tell us more about the code you’re using to generate the calendar? Also -

Can you tell us which version/build of EE2.x you’re using? See EEWiki:// HowTo Determine My EE Version

As far as the display of multiple events in a small calendar like that, you might want to look at the Solspace calender module to see if they have that functionality.

Hi Sue,

Version number 1.6.9

Here’s the code:

{exp:weblog:calendar switch="calendartoday|calendarcell" weblog="event_entry" show_future_entries="yes" sort="asc"}
<table id="event_calendar" summary="Event calendar" >
  <tr class="calendarheader">
    <th><div class="calendarmonthlinks"  id="back"><a href="http://{previous_path=events}"><<</a></div></th>
    <th colspan="5" id="calendardate">{date format="%F %Y"}</th>
    <th><div class="calendarmonthlinks" id="forward"><a href="http://{next_path=events}class=calendarmonthlinks">>></a></div></th>
  </tr>
  <tr> {calendar_heading}
    <td class="calendardayheading">{lang:weekday_short}</td>
    {/calendar_heading} </tr>
  {calendar_rows }
  {row_start}
  <tr>{/row_start}
    {if entries}
    <td class='{switch}' align='center'> {entries}
      <div class="event_link"> <a href="/events/details/{entry_id}" title="{title}" class="vtip">{day_number}</a> </div>
      {/entries} </td>
    {/if}
    {if not_entries}
    <td class='{switch}' align='center'>{day_number}</td>
    {/if}
    {if blank}
    <td class='calendarblank'>{day_number}</td>
    {/if}
    {row_end}</tr>
  {/row_end}
  {/calendar_rows}
</table>
{/exp:weblog:calendar}

Hope that makes sense - thanks for your help.

Andrew

I’d have to test this in my EE1.7 install, but the advice I offered earlier about the Solspace calendar still stands.. you might want to reach out to them about ideas for additional functionality. Your other option is to use a full calendar - there is an example in the docs.. might that work for you?

Hi Sue,

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’ll look up the Solspace option. (Sorry for posting the original query in the wrong section BTW.)

Regards,

Andrew

Hi, Andrew. I can’t replicate the problem you’re seeing using the default mini calendar that ships with EE 1.7.

{exp:weblog:calendar switch="calendarToday|calendarCell"}

<table class="calendarBG" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" summary="My Calendar">
<tr>
<th class="calendarHeader"><div class="calendarMonthLinks"><a href="http://{previous_path={my_template_group}/index}"><<</a></div></th>
<th class="calendarHeader" colspan="5">{date format="%F %Y"}</th>
<th class="calendarHeader"><div class="calendarMonthLinks"><a href="http://{next_path={my_template_group}/index}class=calendarMonthLinks">>></a></div></th>
</tr>
<tr>
{calendar_heading}
<td class="calendarDayHeading">{lang:weekday_abrev}</td>
{/calendar_heading}
</tr>
{calendar_rows }
{row_start}<tr>{/row_start}
{if entries}<td class='{switch}' align='center'><a href="http://{day_path={my_template_group}/index}">{day_number}</a></td>{/if}
{if not_entries}<td class='{switch}' align='center'>{day_number}</td>{/if}
{if blank}<td class='calendarBlank'> </td>{/if}
{row_end}</tr>{/row_end}
{/calendar_rows}
</table>
{/exp:weblog:calendar}

If you use this code, what happens?
