Navigation table at top?

[runemedia]

Is it possible to have the navigation table display at the top of the calendar instead of at the bottom? I tried searching for this in the forum and docs but couldn't find an answer.

Thanks,
Patrick

Yes, it is possible, but you'd need to add the navigation code manually.

You can disable the navigation on the page by adding $noNav="1"; just before requiring the calendar.

Then, add your own navigation code in just after $noNav="1"; and before requiring the calendar.

PHP Code:

  <table class="navTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr> 
    <td align="left" width="33%"><a href="<?php echo "$thisFile?".$returnString.($returnString==""?"":"&")."mo=$mb&amp;yr=$yb$anchorTag".$returnString2; ?>" class="navTableText"><?php echo $navLeft; ?></a></td>
    <td align="center" width="34%"><a href="<?php echo "$thisFile?".$returnString.($returnString==""?"":"&")."mo=$cmo&amp;yr=$cyr$anchorTag".$returnString2; ?>" class="navTableText"><?php echo $navMiddle ?></a></td>
    <td align="right" width="33%"><a href="<?php echo "$thisFile?".$returnString.($returnString==""?"":"&")."mo=$mf&amp;yr=$yf$anchorTag".$returnString2; ?>" class="navTableText"><?php echo $navRight; ?></a></td>
  </tr>
  </table>

Thanks Brian. That should work.

Brian, when I use the code you provided, I get the navigation items at the top of the main calendar table. However, the links themselves do not generate the correct URL. The variables are blank. So, for the "next month" link, I get something like this:

http://mydomain.com/template.php?mo=&yr=

Instead of:

http://mydomain.com/template.php?mo=12&yr=2006

Should I be defining those variables somewhere?

Thanks,
Patrick

[Brian]

Add this too before the navigation code:

PHP Code:

<?php
$yb=$yr;
  $yf=$yr;
  $mb=$mo-1;
  if ($mb<1) {$mb=12; $yb=$yr-1;}
  $mf=$mo+1;
  if ($mf>12) {$mf=1; $yf=$yr+1;}

  $cmo = date("m");
  $cyr = date("Y");
?>

[runemedia]

Thanks again. That worked as expected.

Sorry to revise this thread. However, it appears that sometime since the new year, the navigation on the little calendar is no longer displaying. Here is what I had previously that no longer seems to work:

<?php
$yb=$yr;
  $yf=$yr;
  $mb=$mo-1;
  if ($mb<1) {$mb=12; $yb=$yr-1;}
  $mf=$mo+1;
  if ($mf>12) {$mf=1; $yf=$yr+1;}

  $cmo = date("m");
  $cyr = date("Y");
?>
          <table class="navTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr> 
    <td align="left" width="33%"><a href="<?php echo "$thisFile?".$returnString.($returnString==""?"":"&")."mo=$mb&amp;yr=$yb$anchorTag".$returnString2; ?>" class="navTableText"><?php echo $navLeft; ?></a></td>
    <td align="center" width="34%"><a href="<?php echo "$thisFile?".$returnString.($returnString==""?"":"&")."mo=$cmo&amp;yr=$cyr$anchorTag".$returnString2; ?>" class="navTableText"><?php echo $navMiddle ?></a></td>
    <td align="right" width="33%"><a href="<?php echo "$thisFile?".$returnString.($returnString==""?"":"&")."mo=$mf&amp;yr=$yf$anchorTag".$returnString2; ?>" class="navTableText"><?php echo $navRight; ?></a></td>
  </tr>
  </table>
	  <?php $noNav="1"; require($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

I have checked the Setup and tried having the Navigation set to both "Show Navigation Table" and to not show the table.

Thanks for any help,
Patrick

You probably need to initialize the $mo and $yr variables before using them. Add the following right after the <?php of the code you posted...

PHP Code:

(!isset($_REQUEST['mo'])?$mo=date('m'):$mo=$_REQUEST['mo']);
(!isset($_REQUEST['yr'])?$yr=date('Y'):$yr=$_REQUEST['yr']); 


Please post a link to your installation if it doesn't work so that we can see the actual problem.

[runemedia]

Thanks for the reply. So, here is what my PHP code look like now:

<?php
(!isset($_REQUEST['mo'])?$mo=date('m'):$mo=$_REQUEST['mo']); 
(!isset($_REQUEST['yr'])?$yr=date('Y'):$yr=$_REQUEST['yr']); 
$yb=$yr;
  $yf=$yr;
  $mb=$mo-1;
  if ($mb<1) {$mb=12; $yb=$yr-1;}
  $mf=$mo+1;
  if ($mf>12) {$mf=1; $yf=$yr+1;}

  $cmo = date("m");
  $cyr = date("Y");
?>

But it still isn't working. You can see the page here http://summitschools.com/index.php

Thanks,
Patrick

[ve9gra]

Ahhh... I see! Some variables aren't initialized yet... Let me see what I can come up quick. Check back in about 1/2 hour.

[ve9gra]

Is it possible that your host/you have updated your PHP version?

I'm still looking into it and that's the only thing I can't check quickly.

[runemedia]

I suppose it's possible the host updated the PHP version. It's at PHP 5. I have the option of going back to PHP 4 (but then I don't know what else that might impact).

Create a new file with a .php extension with only the following for the content. Make the name a cryptic one.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Send me a link to it via the link in my signature.

[ve9gra]

You can go ahead and delete the file now. I beleive it might be the way that the page is built... Let's see if this fixes it... Based upon post #9, add this right after <?php

PHP Code:

ob_start();
require("calendar.php");
ob_end_clean(); 


The explanation is that we're using output buffering to fake a calendar display in order to initialize all the required variables. The variables would normally be initialized by the $CSS or $OL sections, but if their output has been hardcoded (or for some other unknown reasons) they might end up un-initialized.

Let me know if this solves your issue.

Thank you very much for your help. That indeed solved the issue (although I had to massage the path to the calendar.php... it's in a WordPress install).

I'm fairly certain it was working before the new year (2007), but I'm not certain.

When I use this technique, I get a table, but the links have no text. Are the variables navLeft, navMiddle and navRight supposed to be set?

[mltsy]

I just notices that $thisFile must also not be set. Am I supposed to replace those or should those be initialized automatically for me? Thanks!

[ve9gra]

That code must be used after the calendar, or else you have to do what's outlined in post #14.

[mltsy]

Oooh! I'm sorry. I misunderstood post 14 the first time. I will add that before my navigation table. Thanks!

[scitekmike]

Can someone post the final (full) code that makes this function? I've been reading through and trying to piece it together but it's getting confusing.

[ve9gra]

<?php
  (!isset($_REQUEST['mo'])?$mo=date('m'):$mo=$_REQUEST['mo']);
  (!isset($_REQUEST['yr'])?$yr=date('Y'):$yr=$_REQUEST['yr']);

  $yb=$yr;
  $yf=$yr;
  $mb=$mo-1;
  if ($mb<1) {$mb=12; $yb=$yr-1;}
  $mf=$mo+1;
  if ($mf>12) {$mf=1; $yf=$yr+1;}

  $cmo = date("m");
  $cyr = date("Y");
?>
<table class="navTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr> 
    <td align="left" width="33%"><a href="<?php echo "$thisFile?".$returnString.($returnString==""?"":"&")."mo=$mb&amp;yr=$yb$anchorTag".$returnString2; ?>" class="navTableText"><?php echo $navLeft; ?></a></td>
    <td align="center" width="34%"><a href="<?php echo "$thisFile?".$returnString.($returnString==""?"":"&")."mo=$cmo&amp;yr=$cyr$anchorTag".$returnString2; ?>" class="navTableText"><?php echo $navMiddle ?></a></td>
    <td align="right" width="33%"><a href="<?php echo "$thisFile?".$returnString.($returnString==""?"":"&")."mo=$mf&amp;yr=$yf$anchorTag".$returnString2; ?>" class="navTableText"><?php echo $navRight; ?></a></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Only if you run into some problems, then post #14 might fix it, otherwise disregard it.

Got it! Thanks!!

Whichever file you've integrated the calendar into. If you haven't integrated it in any file, then it would be /calendar/demo.php.

[clcope]

Is it possible to have the nav links in the same table as the month name? So that it looks like "<< August 2007 >>"?

[Brian]

This isn't possible in the current release.

[stevendoyle]

In the setup manager I used img tags to display gifs instead of text. This works perfectly at the bottom, but when I enter the code to have it displayed at the top as well, i see just the text of the tag (<img src=".......) with the formatting from the css. There is no error for the coding, because it is displaying the images at the bottom.


thanks!
steve

[Brian]

Can you provide a link to the page in question?

Viewing your source code, it appears all of your code is URL encoded. So instead of < you have &lt; . HTML requires the < if you want it to parse as HTML.
