List Mode - Show Displayed Month

[mcfatema]

I've got a nice one-page printable version of a TOC calendar working. Below the calendar I'd like to list the details of the events for the month that is shown, recognizing that the user can scroll forward a month or two. Is there any way to easily get the list mode to pick up on the displayed TOC month and list only the events for that month?

An example is at: http://scouts.tamatoledo.net/wolf_calendar.php

You can reference the $mo variable to determine the month being displayed. If it's not set, it should display the current month.

OK, that helps as I can now see what month is currently displayed. Any way to control the list mode display to correspond to that month also?

I tried blog list mode inside a loop setting $ev to each day of the month. Didn't quite do what I expected but I sure got a lot of output!

The code was something like this:

for ( $i=1; $i<32; $i++ )
{
$ev = myDateToJulian( $year, $month, $i );
// $showCat = "4|8|2|3|"; // wolf
$EPCBLOG=2;
$template="blog.php";
$DF = "l, F j, Y";
require ("calendar/calendar.php");
}

The result can be seen here:

Right before the last } add this line

unset($displayedEvents);

But I think you will get better results out of the Listing mode instead of using half of the Blog mode.

Didn't appear to have any effect.

I agree that listing mode is what I'd like to use. However, having browsed the forums for a couple of hours now it appears that there is no way to get LIST mode to display anything other than today's events and those going forward.

Today is October 25. What I'd really like to see under my November calendar is just the list of events that occur in November (and forward). The problem I have is that in LIST mode today I'm still seeing the events for the last week of October...even though I'm looking at a November calendar.

Thanks for the suggestion. Any other solutions you can think of would be much appreciated.

If you're viewing November on the TOC calendar, you should only see November in the List Mode.

When I view the link you've provided I see it does display October, but also there is something very wrong with your template because the date in the list mode keeps repeating.

You may possibly have a corrupt file that's causing this, and it would most likely be in the functions directory. You may want to try uploading those files again and reverting your list mode template to make things work correctly.

Please let me know if you continue to have any issues.

The repeating date was because I tried to use BLOG mode (part 2 only) and was attempting to set $ev repeatedly to each day of the target month.

I have now restored the code for the LIST portion to this:

<left><?php print "Month=".$mo; ?> TEST Events...</left><br>

<?php
$LIST=1;
$listDays=31;
$listEvents=10;
$DF = "D, M d";
$template="monthly.php";
require ("calendar/calendar.php");
?>

When I view November (or any other month) in the TOC calendar the LIST portion of my page still shows events beginning with the today (October 25) and forward.

For instance this link: http://scouts.tamatoledo.net/test.php?mo=12&yr=2006
shows the December calendar but the list is still from today forward.

What am I missing here? Can't imagine that any of my functions are corrupt...the only changes I've made since installation are in the css portion of the monthly.php template.

[mcfatema]

OK, I got it working. Process of elimination...I had to remove the $listDays line and now the listing does seem to keep pace with the TOC.

Thanks.

Glad you got it working!

Enjoy!
