Is there a way to have the cells background color change if it is older than today?
Kinda like "X'ing" off the calendar days?
This would be regardless of whether there is an event in the day or not. if the day is over, the cell changes color.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Alvy

The code in the default.html template file responsible for colouring the grid cells is:

<TD CLASS="thinborder" VALIGN=TOP WIDTH=14% <%=$rowheight%> BGCOLOR="<%IF SELECTED%><%=$_GRID_CELL_SELECTED_BGCOLOR%><%ELSE%><%=$_GRID_CELL_BGCOLOR%><%/IF%>">

(all on one line)

You could try changing it to something like:

<% $Grid_day = $DAY->{'yyyy'} . sprintf("%02d",$DAY->{'mm'}) . sprintf("%02d",$DAY->{'dd'}) ; %>

(all on one line)

Followed by

<TD CLASS="thinborder" VALIGN=TOP WIDTH=14% <%=$rowheight%> BGCOLOR="<% if ($TODAY_DATESTRING > $Grid_day) { %>#808080<% } elsif ($DAY->{'selected'}) { %><%=$_GRID_CELL_SELECTED_BGCOLOR%><% } else {%><%=$_GRID_CELL_BGCOLOR%><% } %>">

(all on one line)

Which (if works) should change the background colour of past dated cell grids to #808080. (you could use #000000 to black them out, etc.)

This code is UNtested so make sure you keep a backup of original files.

THANKS...so much.. that worked great as far as I can tell.

I have learned so much in one day of reading this forum.
A very adaptable script....

I still have some more work to get it to where I need it, but that is a new thread....

One little typo though.. and you would not think it mattered...but there is an extra space at the very of that code that has to be deleted:
} %> ">

should be
} %>">

In IE 6.x.. it was making my cells bright yellow when the it rendered "#FFFFFF " instead of "#FFFFFF"

go figure?
