Your script is really good and it integrates really easily. My client runs a dance studio and has an events calendar that is best displayed in list mode.

I would like to display the title (or short description) of the event and then a short description (or shortened version of the description field like in the pop up) in the list.

Then when the event isclicked on I would like the full description pop up to comes up.

Is this possible?

If you use the mouse-over pop-up, you can select in the Setup Manager how much information to display for that event (Also make sure they are set to "Sticky"). Then, a more information link will appear when the description is too long which will open another pop-up with the complete details.

In the list mode the pop ups do not work.

How do I get them to work with the list mode?

On the calendar/events/index.php page there is a list display that is exactly how I would like the list to display: date/short desc/shortened full description. If this list could have the pop up full description it would be perfect.

Can this be done?

Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't know you were using the List mode. The pop-ups only work with the normal or TOC modes. Not sure when this may change.

First off, excellent script. :thumbs_up I bought the full version shortly after testing it out.

One question though. I couldn't get pop-ups to work in blog mode, and them I stumbled upon this answer to a similar question:

Sorry, I didn't know you were using the List mode. The pop-ups only work with the normal or TOC modes. Not sure when this may change.
Any idea when this may become a possibility? Is there a simple hack I can apply? Looking at some of the code, I can't figure out why it doesn't work in blog mode, but I haven't examined all the code of course.

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Popups don't work in Blog simply because the code that's required to make the popups popup isn't there. I think that request was already added to the wishlist, but you may want to add it too :)

Thanks for the quick answer. I'll find the wish list and add my request.
