THe calendar I am creating is a long horizontal calendar where the days of the weak are all listed horizontaly (one row I guess you could say), instead of 4 rows, (1 for each week of the month)

Issue 1

In the calendar example in the documentation, for the “blank” days, the code is as follows..

{if blank}
<td class='calendarBlank'>{day_number}</td>
{/if}

The result (for me atleast, when copying and pasting the whole example calendar), are the “blank” days are filled with the number 1. I would like to actually

have those days/cells filled up with the proper number, of the previous, and next month.

Issue 2

I would like the days of the week (S,M,T etc) to repeat horizontaly above days of the week, as the days of the week are listed all horizontaly

Issue 3

I have attempted to put leading_zeroes=“yes” within my “{exp:weblog:calendar}” but it does not seem to be working. I had figured it was a parameter for the

calendar thing. I am not sure where else to put it. THe results are, well, no leading zeroes 😛

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

p.s. there is a link not working on the calendar documentation page.. “date variable formatting” link does not work. Sentence below!

The current date. As with other date variables, this require the “format” parameter in order to define how the date should be displayed. See the date variable formatting page for more information.

Can you post your entire calendar tag, please?  And are you using ExpressionEngine 1.6?  That parameter and ability for “blank” day numbering are only available in the new version.

I am using 1.5.2.

Here is the calendar code

{exp:weblog:calendar switch="calendarToday|calendarCell" leading_zeroes="yes" show_future_entries="yes" weblog="you_events"}
<table class="calendarBG" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<th colspan="11" class="calendarHeader"><div class="calendarMonthLinks"><a href="http://{previous_path=events/}">«{previous_date format="%F %Y"}</a></div></th>
<th colspan="11" class="calendarHeader">Events in the month of {date format="%F %Y"}</th>
<th colspan="11" class="calendarHeader"><div class="calendarMonthLinks"><a href="http://{next_path=/events}class=calendarMonthLinks">{next_date format="%F %Y"}»</a></div></th>
</tr>
<tr>
{calendar_heading}
<td class="calendarDayHeading">{lang:weekday_abrev}</td>
{/calendar_heading}
</tr>
<tr>
{calendar_rows}
{if entries}<td class='{switch}' align='center'><a href="http://{day_path=events/}">{day_number}</a></td>{/if}
{if not_entries}<td class='{switch}' align='center'>{day_number}</td>{/if}
{if blank}<td class='calendarBlank'> </td>{/if}
{/calendar_rows}
</tr>
</table>
{/exp:weblog:calendar}

I am using 1.5.2.

Well, as I said, those features are new to 1.6, so they will not work in 1.5.2.

As for #2, the calendar is designed to work in rows of weeks, so the {calendar_heading} tag pair only outputs one week’s worth of headings. You could use 5 sets of that tag pair so that it outputs the day headings for five weeks worth, e.g.:

{calendar_heading}
<td class="calendarDayHeading">{lang:weekday_abrev}</td>
{/calendar_heading}
{calendar_heading}
<td class="calendarDayHeading">{lang:weekday_abrev}</td>
{/calendar_heading}
{calendar_heading}
<td class="calendarDayHeading">{lang:weekday_abrev}</td>
{/calendar_heading}
{calendar_heading}
<td class="calendarDayHeading">{lang:weekday_abrev}</td>
{/calendar_heading}
{calendar_heading}
<td class="calendarDayHeading">{lang:weekday_abrev}</td>
{/calendar_heading}

Ah I see, I will try that.

Perhaps I will see if I can upgrade to 1.6.

Thanks!
