Multiple different calendars on the same page

[anthony]

I've searched the forums, but haven't been able to find anything like what I'm looking for. I found one thread with some example code that doesn't really work, so I'll just get to my question.

I want to display multiple different calendars from different locations using different flatfiles on one page. When I include the calls to both showcalendar.php files, like so:

<div class="separator">
		<?php require ("calendar/showcalendar.php"); ?>
	</div>
	<div class="separator">
		<?php require ("edtech/calendar/showcalendar.php"); ?>
	</div>

I get an error in my Apache server log stating:

[error] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare showcal() (previously declared in /Library/WebServer/Documents/calendar/functions/escal.php:555) in /Library/WebServer/Documents/calendar/functions/escal.php on line 555

When I change $flatFileName to use a different flatfile, OverLIB doesn't work correctly. It still displays data from the first declared calendar ('calendar/showcalendar.php' instead of 'edtech/calendar/showcalendar.php'). The calendar appears correctly, but at the top of the page, before any of my HTML starts (because of my require statement in the header of the code).

I need to display nine different calendars on this page, but can't seem to figure out what to do. Of course, I need it by tomorrow afternoon, but I'm just going to take a lot of whacks at it.

Here's where the page is: http://www.creighton.k12.az.us/9calendars.php

Also, is it possible to concatenate the text from multiple flatfiles to create one master calendar? (i.e. for this project, we'd like to combine the calendars from 9 different schools into one calendar, but I didn't think this was possible... hence displaying all nine calendars on the same page.)

Thanks!

There are variables and functions assigned to the calendar when it is first displayed and they can't be changed without some re-programming. Version 5 wasn't designed to show two different groups of events from two separate databases.

However, Version 6 is capable of this using the categories and filter functions which will display just the events you want to see according to their assigned category.

I haven't tried this, but if the txt files were all combined, this may work. Have you tried it?

Yes, concatenating text files does work... interesting...

Now that I've upgraded to version 6, I'm still trying to list different calendars on the same page. When I use the following code:

<?php require ("calendar/showcalendar.php"); ?>
<?php  $showCat = "2"; require ("calendar/showcalendar.php"); ?>

Both calendars look the same, except the second calendar--the one with the $showCat variable set--filters the overLib display, but not the way the calendar looks. In other words, filtering seems to be happening, but the second calendar only illustrates this function in the overLIB popup.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Anthony

Can you post or PM a link to this test page?

This has been resolved and will appear in Version 6.09.
