Im trying to link a small calender from my homepage to the main event calendar. I can get the calendar to appear but it is not pulling through the styling. This is the code i am using on my index.php

<?php
//$TOC=1; // UNCOMMENT THIS LINE TO SHOW TEXT ON CALENDAR
unset($epcAltLink); $epcAltLink="http://www.caterhamssp.co.uk/ssconew/calendar/index.php"; // UNCOMMENT THIS LINE TO USE THE ALT LINK FEATURE
$showTheme="calendar/theme/default/esstyle.css";
require("calendar/calendar.php");
?>

My website url in www.caterhamssp.co.uk/ssconew/index.php (http://www.caterhamssp.co.uk/ssconew/index.php)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :classic:

You may be missing the CSS section of calendar code as detailed in the Integration / Important section of the instructions. Can you verify you have added this code to your page?

Yes just added and it works, thank you. In order to style it without affecting the main calendar page. Do i just create a new css file?

Yes. Just copy/paste a new theme directory and modify it.

Thank you i have copied the default folder, renamed it and modified the esstyle.css.

The following link is in the top of my index.php<?php $CSS=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

And then to call the calender used the following
$showTheme="calendar/theme/mini/esstyle.css";
require("calendar/calendar.php");

The calender is showing but seems to be using the css from default style which is styling my main calendar. Do i need to amend anything else, or am i missing something?

Thanks

You need to have the showTheme before the CSS code.

Im sorry but where do you mean the before the CSS. There is no CSS within my index.php (homepage file). I tried putting it above the <?php $CSS=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?> tag in the <head> tags. Other than that im slightly confused.

It should go here:

<?php $CSS=1; $showTheme="YourThemeName"; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

Replace YourThemeName with the name of the theme you want to use. Capitalization is important. And make sure your changes are uploaded to the server. If it can't find the theme, it will use the default.

Thank you i understand the line of code now but it still does not seem to be working. I have the theme of mini uploaded already to the server. You will see in the attached that i am unsure where to place the line of code in the head tag or where i want to call the calendar in the page? Sorry for not understanding first time, this is still very new to me. I do appreciate your help.

You have it in the right spot, but $showTheme="YourThemeName"; should be your actual full theme name.

What is the name of the new theme? Put that there.

Yes i have added the theme name in but it still is just blank.

<?php $CSS=1; $showTheme="HomepageMiniCal"; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

On the index.php the line above shows in two places line 12 and line 58 is this correct?

Should the theme name just be the actual name of the folder that sits in the theme directory or do i need to put the whole file path?

The theme name is the name of your folder. No path, no file.... just folder.

Yes it is the name of the folder $showTheme="HomepageMiniCal"; but it is not pulling through the calendar at all. Does the code go int the head tag as well as where you want to display the calander. As in my reply 11

Does the theme appear in the Setup Manager list of themes?

Yes it is now but still nothing pulling through. Do i have the line of code in two many places. Shouldnt it just be in one place?
