Events not Displaying in Blog + List View

[strobogirl]

Hello,

I am unable to get my events display properly. I am using Blog and List modes, but now I suspect that I either don't fully understand how they work together or my code is incorrect.

I would like the events listed in List Mode. However, if someone clicks on a specific day in the calendar, I would like the events of that day displayed. No pop-ups -- they should be displayed in the space where the list was.

The problem is that when clicking on a specific day, only *some* of the events show up, not all of them. The ones that show up are those that span more than one day.

My code looks like this:

<div style="width:555px;">

<h1>Calendar of Events</h1>

<div style="float:left; width:340px;margin-right:20px;">

<?php
$LIST=1; 
$DF = "l, F j"; 
$noOld = 1;
$template="modern.php"; 
require ("calendar.php"); 
?>

</div>


<div style="float:left; width:190px;">

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

<br />
<strong>SORT EVENTS:</strong> <br />
<table width="195" border="0" style="margin-bottom:0;">
<tr><td width="15" class="s2 ledCatName" style="background-color:#FFC18A;">&nbsp;</td>
<td><span class="ledCatName"><a href="/vis2/calendar/index.php" style="font-weight:bold;">Show All</a></span></td></tr>
</table>

<?php require("plugins/legend.php"); ?>


</div> <!-- end float right -->

Here is my page: http://www.bbg.org/vis2/calendar

Also - I tried using Blog Mode, instead of List mode, but I couldn't find a way to have more then one day display. Perhaps that is the route to take, with modifications to display more than a day..... ?


I would greatly appreciate any help or clarification that you can give me.

Thank you,

I'll have to do some testing before I can give you an answer, but I am positive that it can be done.

Replace this bit from your code

<?php
$LIST=1; 
$DF = "l, F j"; 
$noOld = 1;
$template="modern.php"; 
require ("calendar.php"); 
?>

for this

<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['ev'])) {
  $EPCBLOG=2;
  $DF = "l, F j"; 
  $template="modern.php"; 
  require ("calendar.php"); 
} else {
  $LIST=1; 
  $DF = "l, F j"; 
  $noOld = 1;
  $template="modern.php"; 
  require ("calendar.php"); 
}
?>

This will make the list display if there's no day selected, and the blog mode once a day is clicked.

Thank you Gervais! That is exactly what I wanted. Except there is one tiny glitch...

The events that appear after clicking on a specific date do not have a date. It shows "[date]" instead of the actual date. Do you know how I could pull this info into the listing? Or place the date at the top of the page?

Again, thanks for your help. Much appreicated.

Change the first $template to say "blog.php" and edit your blog.php template so that the style matches your modern.php.

The Blog templates don't parse the date at the same place as the List templates - something I hadn't realized till just now.
