No pop-ups in blog mode...

[mungojeerie]

It's probably something simple...

I have the on mouseover pop up set to yes in the setup menu but I still do not get pop-ups over my calendar. Im using it in blog mode. The url is: http://www.thepic.ca/calendar/PicShows.php

I've been kinda slow setting up and getting this calendar running, but it's definatly one of the best calendars I have ever used, and by far the best when it comes to help and support! Thanks.

It would seem that you forgot to include the $OL section before requiring the calendar, hence mouseover popups are disabled. See /calendar/demo.php for a properly formated file, or read the Integration - Important (http://docs.easyphpcalendar.com/source/Integration/Important.htm) section of the online documentation.

You were right, I was missing the <?php $OL=1; require("calendar.php"); ?> but now I am not and I still dont get pop ups. I have turned popups on in the setup area as you can see:

When I originally integrated the calendar into my existing webpage template I used the demoBlog.php file to work from, so I have the following html:

<table width="600" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#000000"><span class="style1"></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="205" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#000000"><?php
$EPCBLOG=1;
require("calendar.php");
?></td>
<td align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#000000"><?php
$EPCBLOG=2;
$template="blog.php";
$DF = "l, F j, Y";
require("calendar.php");
?></td>
</tr>
</table>

So now I guess my problem is that I need more html to call the pop up into effect..... correct?

I'm ashamed to say that I still haven't personally used Blog Mode... and from what I can see, it seems that this is a limitation of the Blog Mode itself. I'm not sure if it was ever intended to have the popups enabled for the Blog mode.

I'm sorry I didn't come up with that answer faster.

The Blog Mode will not use pop-ups by design (not really a limitation). It sounds like you want to use the Normal and List Mode together for your particular application (or drop the List Mode altogether). That would utilize the pop-ups.

No pop-ups in blog mode by design? thats a shame.... I like blog mode because its clean and compact, there isint a whole list of events for the month listed out and the one you see is that day.... it would be nice to have pop-ups so visitors could easily scan through days and see what they're interested in rather than clicking on each day. Maybe this is something that could be integrated into a later version....

This hasn't been requested before, and I see your point. You may want to add this to the feature requests forum.
