Adding Custom Info to Setup or Event Manager

[Aldebaran]

Hi,
Your instructions say:
Add custom links/information to Setup Manager and/or the Event Manager:
Edit the headerCustom.inc.php file to include your own information into the Setup or Event Managers. This is a PHP file, so you can also add program code if needed.



I added a simple

echo "hello";
to this file and nothing happened. Is there somewhere you need to enable this headerCustom file?

You need to wrap PHP code with PHP tags:

PHP Code:

 <?php
echo "hello";
?>

Hi Brian,
Yes, it's inside PHP formatting. Is there anything else I need to do besides simply adding it to the end of that file?

...end of that file?

There shouldn't be anything else in the file (unless you added it there).

You don't have to do anything to enable it.

Here's the file:
<?php
// THE CODE BELOW WHEN INSERTED INTO THE calendar/events/headerCustom.inc.php FILE
// WILL DISPLAY THE CALENDAR STARTING AT THE CURRENT MONTH AND NOT THE PREVIOUS MONTH
if (!$_REQUEST['mo'] && !$mo) {
$mo = date("m");
$yr = date("Y");
$mo++;
if ($mo>12) {
$mo=1;
$yr++;
}
$_REQUEST['mo'] = $mo;
$_REQUEST['yr'] = $yr;
}

echo "<p><a href='../../webservices-applications.php'>Return to Aldebaran Website Design</a></p>" ;
echo "hello jill";
?>

And this file is inside the "Events" folder?

[Aldebaran]

It's weird the file wasn't blank...I added the last two lines.

[Brian]

This should only display after you've logged in. Does it not? When you log in, is the first calendar (of the three) the current month?

[Aldebaran]

And this file is in the Events folder....?

The reason why I'm double checking is because the file was not empty. And yes, after I log in to Events Manager, the current month is the first of the three.

My fault!

I forgot that I added the code to that file in the latest release as of last week.

[Aldebaran]

:-) no problem.

Perhaps if I tell you what I'm trying to accomplish, you could suggest a better way to do this.

I've set up the calendar on my website so that my clients can test drive it before having me install on their websites. Right now if they go to Event Manager, and log in, there's no way to get back to my website without hitting the back button many times. I wanted to add the code for returning to my website site throughout the Event Manager, etc, so they can find their way back.

OK, I got it. There's one in the "events" folder for the events manager pages, and another one in the "setup" folder for the setup manager. I modified both and now have links back to my website.
Thank you very much for the quick responses...your customer support is wonderful!
