Listing edits

[bobscape]

Hi,

I am trialling this at the moment and am very impressed so far.

I intend on using the list option to show a simple list of events on a home page.

The list seems to default to show all in the current month.

Is it possible to change the number events display in the listing?

Is it possible to change the time frame of the events listed? i.e. the next 10days

Is it possible to get it to not show past events in the listing?

Thanks for your time and well done again on a really great product.

All of those options are possible.

Here's an except from the instructions.htm file:

OTHER OPTIONS:

There are other options available to your while using the Listings Module.

Add any of these variables just after $LIST=1;

If none of these options are added, the list will display all of the events for the current calendar month.

$listDays = x;
Lists 'x' number of days from Today.

$listWeeks = x;
Lists 'x' number of weeks from Today.

$listMonths = x;
Lists 'x' number of months from the currently displayed Month.

$listYear = x;
List all of the events for year 'x'.

$listEvents = x;
List the next 'x' number of events. You may also want to combine this with $listWeeks = 52; which will show the next 'x' events from today no matter what month is being viewed.

$noOld = x;
Setting 'x' to 1 will not show any event older than today, no matter what settings were used above.

Oh thats greats. Thanks for that. Found the instruction now .

One other thing I'd like to do with the list module if possible. I can't see it in the instructions.

I would like to list only items in a certain category.

Is this possible?

Rob

[Brian]

Yes, this is possible. Just use the $showCat variable.

Here's what is says in the instructions.htm file:

$showCat="X";
Filter the list of events by category "X". "X" corresponds the category number as indicated in the Setup Manager. Add this just before require("calendar/calendar.php");

Thanks again. that's great.

Can I just confirm that this is a once for all purchase.
I don't need to renew my licence each year or something?

Thanks again for a top product.

[Brian]

There are no annual renewals or fees and you can upgrade to any future Version 6 series release for free.

Hi,

I have been trying to experiment with the $showCat option.

I would like to show some but not all of the categories. i.e. 3 of 5. But i can only seem to show All cats or 1 cat.

Is this possible?

Also, The site I'm working on is for a church. Their service rotation is monthly so the floating repeat is very usful. Different services happen on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th sunday of the month. However, they also have a different service for the 5th Sunday when there is one. There is an option to add an event for the last sunday but this covers the 4th and 5th where i want them treated seperatly for months when there is a 5th sunday.

Does that make sense?

Thanks for your time.

Both of those features aren't currently implemented in the calendar script, but are good suggestions. You may want to add them to the feature requests forum.

[bobscape]

I have copied it over.

I think i will still purchase the calendar. It's still by far the best script I've seen and it saves me wrting one.

Hopefully these features will be added as updates to this version to save me having to buy again.

Hi,

This morning I have tried to purchase a licence with my visa card but the processing keeps failing.

Is there a problem with the system.

Thanks

Rob

[Brian]

The system is functioning normally. However, I don't have direct control over their processing and don't know fully why cards gets rejected.

Can you try the other payment option?

[bobscape]

I succesfully paid using the PayPal option.

Thankyou very much for your time.
