I run a web site for a large martial arts organization that has about 35 schools spread across five states. I'm looking for an event calendar that I can put on the site, and this one MIGHT be what I'm looking for. But since I'm not 100% sure I need to know if this'll do what I want it to do.

Basically, when the user selects "event calendar" from my site's menu, I want a calendar to appear which shows ALL events at ALL schools. There will then be two pop-up menus, one showing a list of all the schools and the other showing a list of all event types (e.g., demonstrations, open house events, etc), with a "GO" button (or something) next to it. The user can then select one or more options, click "GO", and get shown the appropriately filtered information on the calendar. For example, they can select "Manhattan" and click "GO" and it'll show all events happening in Manhattan. Or they can select "Public Demonstrations" and click "GO" and it'll show all public demonstrations happening in every school. Or they can select "Manhattan" from one menu and "Public Demonstrations" in the other, click "GO", and it'll show all public demonstrations happening in Manhattan.

Does this calendar software have this capability? Please let me know. Thanks. :)

The calendar script itself does not have the capability to track events, but it's easily integrated into a website by passing simple variables to the script.

For example, if you have a file or database that contains the dates of events, if you format them and send them to the calendar it will appropriately mark the days of the event.

Look at http://www.stgeorgeisland.com/vacationrent.....pcode=alhambr (http://www.stgeorgeisland.com/vacationrentals/details.php?propcode=alhambr). At the bottom-left of the screen you'll see a list of dates this house is available to rent.

By simply sending that same data to the calendar script, you will get the result seen here http://www.stgeorgeisland.com/vacationrent.....=alhambr&ny=1 (http://www.stgeorgeisland.com/vacationrentals/avail.php?propcode=alhambr&ny=1).

Hallo,

this is exactly what I'm looking for! But I don't understand, how to "format" the database. And finally: how can I send the dates to the calendar? I have no idea! Please could you give me a little help?
Thank you very much!

Hello all!

To quote the quote: "This is exactly what I'm looking for!" ;)

...But i also seen to have the same problem.

I use the calendar on a simple php page. The page receives a value thru the url. Now i want all the dates to be links to an other page, passing the first value and the date value to that page.

Ex:

link to the calendar page: calender.php?value1=something
link on the date number in calendar: other_page.php?value1=something&date=the_date_on_calender

So the question is: where do i put the href tag in the calendar code? :blink:

Thanks for an otherwise very nice calender :D
