Formatting calendar layout similar to event setup

ChuckR · 01-17-2006, 10:00 AM

Greetings all....

I am rather new to PHP & HTML, and for the most part find myself over my head when working with the calendar codes. But I am getting by.

I have modified the demo.php script and placed it on a site that I administer.

The page that is wrapped around the calender is at this link:

http://madwest1958.org/misc_info/calendar2.php

The file that the web page points to is at this link:

http://madwest1958.org/calendar/calendar2.php

My question is: I would like to have the calendar page mirror the calendar layout that is displayed in your Event Manager utility. Specifically, I would like to include a Month/Year drop down menu, and the category Legend.

I have been unsuccesful in finding any recent tips on this forum on this subject. Does anyone have and suggestion or tips.

Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks for your quick reply Brian.

Below I have pasted the code for my calendar page. I am not sure where to insert the codes that you provided. This is the area where I get into trouble.

You would add the code on the page where you want the information to appear.

For the date drop-down, probably just after the <body> tag.

For the legend, just anywhere would be fine and you can move it in the code to put it above and below other items.

I have spent a couple of hours doing some "trial and error" but can't get Brian's suggestion to work.

When I pasted the code at the point that Brian suggested, and tried to load the page using Safari, I got this error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '\"' in /home/.dempsey/madwest1/madwest1958.org/calendar/calendar4.php on line 27

Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks again in advance for your comments!

Here is the link to the page that generated this error:

Below is the code for the page (including the added code insterted after the <body> tag:

Please zip up and attach calendar.php to this post and I'll take a look.

ChuckR · 01-17-2006, 07:05 PM

Hi Brian.....

Attached is a copy of the file I am using.

Thanks again

Chuck

Where are the accented E's in your code?

They shouldn't be there.

ChuckR · 01-17-2006, 07:20 PM

Brian..... I failed to use my DropZip utility to compress the file.

A new version is attached.

Sorry!

Chuck

**Brian** · 01-18-2006, 09:05 AM

Your code has a lot of ÊÊÊÊ in it which is likely causing the error. They should all be removed from your code.
