Day with custom link or url

[rod]

Can I configure escal to create a custom link for each date shown?

For example, I would like the user to click on a day and go to that day's weather summary. This will require a link that passes the date info to the custom link. I don't want to do this with a popup, but a straight link to another web page.

Let me know if you'd like the file.

Please don't pass around a file as this would be against the licensing agreement.

But, feel free to post the section of code that was modified to perform this task.

Sorry Brian - but you could have just removed the wording and not the whole post

Anyway, took me a while to remember exactly what I did as I made the change over 2 months ago and didn't take notes, so I've had to take a good look again.

2 things need to be done - change the display of the day numbers from plain text to "a href" elements and to provide the target of those hrefs with the day value, aswell as the month and year value.

How I did it was to modify 2 sections of the code in functions/escal.php as follows:

Find:

echo " title=\"$et[$daycount]\" onClick=\"popupEvent($daycount,$popupWidth,$popupHeight)\" style=\"cursor:hand;\"";} } echo ">$cd</td>\n";$daycount++;$cd++;}

Replace with:

 echo " title=\"$et[$daycount]\" onClick=\"window.location.href='$thisFile?mo=$mo&amp;yr=$yr&amp;day=$cd'\" style=\"cursor:hand;\"";} } echo "><a class='today' href='$thisFile?mo=$mo&amp;yr=$yr&amp;day=$cd'>$cd</a></div>\n";$daycount++;$cd++;}

Find:

 echo " title=\"$et[$daycount]\" onClick=\"popupEvent($daycount,$popupWidth,$popupHeight)\" style=\"cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;\"";} } echo ">$cd</td>\n";$daycount++;}

Replace with:

echo " title=\"$et[$daycount]\" onClick=\"window.location.href='$thisFile?mo=$mo&yr=$yr&day=$cd'\" style=\"cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;\"";} }
 echo "><a class='s2$bgc[$daycount]' href='$thisFile?mo=$mo&amp;yr=$yr&amp;day=$cd'>$cd</a></div>\n";$daycount++;}

NB: I had an issue with the way the $thisFile value was being presented by the code and couldn't work around it so had to hard code my domain into the links. Be aware of that if you have problems - replace the $thisFile values with http://yourdomain.com$thisFile.

Actually, I didn't mean to remove the whole post . I rolled out of bed this morning to check the forums and answer any questions, all-the-while rushing to get ready to go out of town for the day... and I accidentally removed all of the text from your post and couldn't get it back.

Thanks for posting the follow-up!

Thanks Dave!
