Can't get calendar to show up on page.

timmybighands · 05-31-2005, 06:08 PM

I've downloaded the trial version of the calendar and I'm trying to get it to show up on a web page, but its not working. I can access the setup through the browser where I can change a bunch of options, but getting it show on a page is where I'm having a problem.

First I'm a little confused from the instructions. They say this:

There must be a link to the CSS file in the header (just before the </HEAD> tag) of any page that displays the EasyPHPCalendar script.

But in the code below that it show a link to the CSS file after the head tag and not before it. So which is it? Before or after?

Also how do I know if I'm using the overLIB option? I have a overLIB folder that I uploaded to the server does that mean I'm using the overLIB option?

So do I need to include this code in the body:

<?php $OL=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

or this code:

<?php require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

Here is a link the site I'm testing it on maybe someone can look at the code and see where I'm messing up.

The example is incorrect (and thanks for pointing that out). The CSS goes before </HEAD>.

overLIB is the mouse-over feature. You'd need this if you're using that feature.

Ok that clears that up about the head tag, but I'm still having a problem getting it to display. This is how I have it currently:

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

<body>
<?php $OL=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>
<?php require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

Something is wrong, but I'm not sure what. If I type in this address:

http://www.gtrresource.com/calendar

That will bring up the calendar, but I can't get it to display on the main page.

What is the link to your main page?

You can view the source and see exactly how I did it.

Hi Brian

I thought it makes sense to post here - hope you don't mind timmybighands...not trying to hijack your topic - the issues are very similar.

Just bought EPC and managed to install it OK, link to database, etc, etc. Everything functions. I just can't get EPC into a web page despite having read and implemented everything in the Instructions file, surveying the demo.php file (and all I could find in this forum).

I have a website created with Frontpage. The homepage uses frames.

I can link successfully to the calendar and have it display in a frame when a button is clicked. However, I need the calendar to display in a table on the homepage.

Should the extra text be added in the master frame "holder" (index.html), or in the page that's loaded into a frame (excuse the n00b terminology).

I've tried creating a fresh new page and imbedding the calendar, but I just canna make it happen. It just comes up blank. Stumped.

My website is www.williamson.co.za.
You can link to the calendar by clicking the calendar button on the left menu, or by going straight to www.williamson.co.za/calendar

Your kind advice and assistance to this n00b most appreciated.

Ha! Just got it to work!

Trick: rename the html file to .php, and then make sure the directory reference to the calendar is correct (I had to use the full path specification, which I copied from the error message when it didn't work).

Now to fiddle and customise, tra-la-la.

Thanks Arthur worked for me as well.

Can you show me the exact source for that page. The way it looks is very close to what I need to do.

Thanks,
