current and next month only

[hotwired]

Is there a way to have available this month and next month only in "text on calendar mode"? My client doesn't want anyone seeing last months and doesn't want competition to know what's up too much in the future. Any thoughts?

This can be done by checking and setting the $mo and $yr variables in PHP. If you can program PHP, you should be able to do this. If you need help, just let me know and I'll come up with some code for you.

Please! I would love some code. I don't really know how to program php, strictly an html and css guy, but I'm fairly intuitive, so you won't need to work very hard! Is this editing direcly to the script (calendar) itself? I have tried to open some of the deeper files but they seem to be encoded with Zend, and "protected" so to speak.

Try something like this (add it just before the require statement that displays the calendar):

PHP Code:

 <?php
// DETERMINE CURRENT MONTH AND YEAR
$cDate = date("m").date("Y");
$tDate = trim($_REQUEST['mo'].$_REQUEST['yr']);

if ($tDate!="") {

if (($tDate-$cDate)<0) {
    $mo = date("m");
    $yr = date("Y");
    }
  
  if (($tDate-$cDate)>10000) {
    $mo = date("m")+1;
    $yr = date("Y");
    }
  
  }
?>

If needed, you can change the number of months you can advance by editing the checks above.

Thanks!! Now I had to re enable navigation ot make it work./ The only thing that is happening now is that the navigation is "normal", i.e. the drop down lets you select 2007, 2008, and the month drop down lets you select any month but your code simply prevents it from "happening" if they select anything other than this or next month. My solution would be to find the code that makes the navigation possible, and edit it somehow. Or simply find the code that makes "next" month possible, something like that. I bet it's in one of the danged encrypted files though, ya think? I am happy to send you some $$$ if you want to nail it though!!

Hi
I'm hitting a snag with the code you gave me above in that now that we've hit december, "next month" which is january wont' show ... is this maybe because it's a new year?? (see your code above) - to refresh, this limits the << >> navigation from scrolling backwards at all, and limits scrolling to ONLy the next month and no more. I'm happy to hire you to iron this out if you'd like??? Thanks!!

Untested

PHP Code:

<?php
// DETERMINE CURRENT MONTH AND YEAR
$cDate = date("m").date("Y");
$tDate = trim($_REQUEST['mo'].$_REQUEST['yr']);

if ($tDate!="") {

    if (($tDate-$cDate)<0) {
        $mo = date("m");
        $yr = date("Y");
    }
  
    if (($tDate-$cDate)>10000) {
        $mo = date("m")+1;
        $yr = date("Y");
        if ($mo > 12) {
            $mo = 1;
            $yr = $yr + 1;
        }
    }
}
?>

Thanks for that. It did not work unfortunately. Again, if you would like to get paid for your time I don't mind hiring you to get it nailed. I can send details if needed. One other little but I didn't notice is that this code AND the previous code, although disallowing looking at last month or more than one month ahead, DOES allow going exactly to the current month in ANY future year, i.e. if you're in December, you can view december in 2007, 2008, etc. etc.

I will try to take a deeper look at this this afternoon. I had only quickly skimmed the previous posts and kinda jumped to a conclusion. After reading more attentively, I don't think that my "fix" would've worked at all.

[ve9gra]

Ok, I got to it earlier than I thought. Try this out.

PHP Code:

// DETERMINE CURRENT MONTH AND YEAR
$cDate = date("Y").sprintf("%02u",date("m"));
$tDate = trim($_REQUEST['yr'].sprintf("%02u",$_REQUEST['mo']));

if ($tDate!="") {

    if (($tDate-$cDate)<0) {
        $mo = date("m");
        $yr = date("Y");
    }
  
    if (($tDate-$cDate)>1) {
        $mo = date("m")+1;
        $yr = date("Y");
        if ($mo > 12) {
            $mo = 1;
            $yr = $yr + 1;
        }
    }
} 


It now lets you go to January of next year, and also stops you from being able to see one (or more) year in the future.

Let me know if you run into any more problems.
