Hi,

I am trying out CalendarScript at our webpage:
http://www.gavitsports.org/cgi-bin/calendar.pl

By default all events are hyperlinked on the calendar view page. I would like to turn off the links if there is no event description.

From what I have looked at I will need to modify the default.html file so that the code checks for a value for the description and outputs the event title with the html anchor attributes if there is a description and without the html attributes if there isn't a description.

Has anyone else done this? I searched the forum and didn't locate an answer.

I am new to Perl and to using SSI from html pages.

That's right. Try something like the following in the appropriate place in the default.html template file:

code:

in place of
<A HREF="<%=$CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>view=Event&event_id=<%= EVENT FIELD(id) %>" CLASS="gridtext"><%= EVENT FIELD(title) %></A><BR>
try
<% if ($EVENT->{'details'}->{'description'} ) { ## Line Corrected July 20th, 2004 %>
<A HREF="<%=$CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>view=Event&event_id=<%= EVENT FIELD(id) %>" CLASS="gridtext"><%= EVENT FIELD(title) %></A><BR>
<% } else { %>
<%= EVENT FIELD(title) %>
<% } %>

Corrected <% if ($EVENT->{'details'}->{... line!

Hi there!

I, too, would like to tweak it so that the HTML code doesn't appear unless there's something to link to in the description.

However, I cannot make the change you (DanO) suggested because I'm also using the "MetaCalendar" plugin, which dramatically changes that exact string of code already (I tried adding the "<% if ($EVENT..." tags before and after it, but it gave me a nasty error when I tried).

Here's the original line of code:

<A HREF="<%=$CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>view=Event&event_id=<%= EVENT FIELD(id) %>" CLASS="gridtext"><%= EVENT FIELD(title) %></A><BR>

Here's what MetaCalendar has it changed to:

<A HREF="#" onClick="return gotolink('<%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{calendarref} %>', '<%=$CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>view=Event&event_id=<%= EVENT FIELD(id) %>&datestring=<%=$DAY->{datestring}%>&starttime=<%= &main::URLEncode($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'}) %>&endtime=<%= &main::URLEncode($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'end_time'}) %>')" CLASS="gridtext"><%= EVENT FIELD(title) %></A><BR>

You suggested adding the following tags before and after:

Before:

<% if ($EVENT->{'details'}->{'description'} { %>

After:

<% } else { %>
<%= EVENT FIELD(title) %>
<% } %>

However, as I said, this doesn't work on the MetaCalendar-altered code...

The reason that line may not work is it's not quite correct. It should be:

<% if ($EVENT->{'details'}->{'description'} ) { # Note the ) bracket %>

I didn't realize it because the OP never bothered to follow up on the message here.

You should be able to edit your previous posts to remove any unnecessary/duplicate text.  

JFYI
