Ok Here it is, I need a hack... The current nav menu takes up to much space for the area I have. and the client would like a drop menu in it's place.

Is this posible???

Sure it's possible, just edit the template, take out the part between
<!-- MONTH NAVIGATION -->
and
<!-- /MONTH NAVIGATION -->

Then wherever you want to display the dropdown (probably just above the command list), put this code in its place:

code:

<script language="javascript">
function changeMonths (theform)
{
  if(theform.month == 0) {
    window.location.href = "<%= LAST YEAR LINK %>";
  }
  if(theform.month == 13) {
    window.location.href = "<%= NEXT YEAR LINK %>";
  }
  window.location.href = "<%=CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>" + theform.month;
}
</script>
<select name="month" onchange="changeMonths(this.form)">
<option value=0><%= $LAST_YEAR %></option>
<%= &HTML::monthAbbreviationOptions($TODAY_MONTH) %>
<option value=13><%= $NEXT_YEAR %></option>
</select>

And that should give you an auto-submitting drop-down that acts just like list across the top.  Note that you can change &HTML::monthAbbreviationOptions(...) to &HTML::monthNameOptions(...) if you would like to display the whole month name instead of just the abbreviation.

Thanks, I have anotherone for you. Is there a way to get a small calendar to display in grid format on the side of the List view?

I think you mean a small calendar with just the days numbered, and no events.  If that's right, here's the code:

code:

<TABLE border="1">
  <% FOREACH GRID ROW %>
  <TR>
    <% FOREACH GRID COLUMN %>
    <TD>
      <% if $DAY->{display} { %>
        <A HREF="<%=$CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>selected_datestring=<%=$DAY->{'datestring'}%>&view=Day"><%= $DAY->{'dd'} %></A>
      <% } else { %>
        ?
      <% } %>
    </TD>
    <% /FOREACH %>
  </TR>
  <% /FOREACH %>
</TABLE>

Well, that's the general idea. You probably want to do more formatting with thin borders and a background colors, but that should give you a start.  If I didn't answer your question, let me know and I'll take another stab at it.

Any idea why when I paste that code into my default.html file the calendar page comes up blank? If I paste only the following, the drop down appears but of course doesn't work.

<...>
<select name="month" onchange="changeMonths(this.form)">
<option value=0><%= $LAST_YEAR %></option>
<%= &HTML::monthAbbreviationOptions($TODAY_MONTH) %>
<option value=13><%= $NEXT_YEAR %></option>
</select>
<...>

It is when I paste the following that the calendar page appears completely blank.

<...>
<script language="javascript">
function changeMonths (theform)
{
 if(theform.month == 0) {
   window.location.href = "<%= LAST YEAR LINK %>";
 }
 if(theform.month == 13) {
   window.location.href = "<%= NEXT YEAR LINK %>";
 }
 window.location.href = "<%=CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>" + theform.month;
}
</script>
<...>

Thanks,
Ty
