Help please!

If I click on an event for it's Details, I just get the following:

Title:    
Description:    
Author Name:

...with nothing showing as you can see!

How about posting a link to the problem display(s) with your message(s) so we can see what's going on ourselves?

OK, I've even re-loaded the whole application and it does the same.

Try http://www.accbsystems.co.uk/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?calendar=default

login is guest/guest if you need it

This is the re-loaded calendar. Debug ran without error.
Click the entry for   10th  April, then details and you'll see that the  details are blank.

Sorry but I get a 404 File Not Found error at that URL. Are you sure it is correct???

Yep, worked for me just now

Simplified to http://www.accbsystems.co.uk/cgi-bin/calendar.pl

Not for me:

The requested URL /~accbsystems.co.uk/cgi-bin/calendar.pl was not found on this server.

I just realised why you can't see it.
We're changing hosts, and the calendar is on the new one

I have the new IP address in my hosts file to point to it, so please try 212.248.232.246/cgi-bin/calendar.pl

My aplogies!

Foot note, in fact to make it work properly, you'll need the following in your hosts file
212.248.232.246 www.accbsystems.co.uk

On Windows XP PC's that file is in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

Sorry if this is inconvenient

On the host we are leaving imminently, I set up the Calendar 'Out of the Box', with no customisations, and the text is now displaying when I click the entries from the calendar to show details.

I can't think what I changed on the one that's gone wrong.
I only edited the default.html to add in user names to show on the calendar entries.

Do you know what the mechanism is that calls that sheet that might be causing my blank entries?

To summarise
1) On old host, that we are leaving
Script installed, Debug.pl run with no errors. no customisations made yet.
Added an entry, went to calendar, click on entry to see detail sheet, and items are there (Title/Decription)

2) On New Host
Script installed, edited default sheet to add Author_ID to the entries in the calendar, colours customised
Clicking calendar entries, detail sheet shows blank entries (other than headers (Title/Description) - detail text missing)

There is still a slight bug, in that if you select 'Today' in either Grid or List mode, the 'Today' cell doesn't highlight as it does if you select 'Week' '2 week' etc.

** Do you know what the mechanism is that calls that sheet that might be causing my blank entries? **

I don't know exactly what you're asking there but I do not know what would be preventing event details from being printed. But if it works properly with the original template but not with the one you edited, than it would suggest it is your edit(s) which might be responsible?

** the 'Today' cell doesn't highlight **

That is because the exact same calendar 'view' is use for both today and any other day, just with different dates. If it where to be highlighted, it would show "today" even when someone selected a different day of the week (or year) and not necessarily just "today".

Dan,

I've now sorted the code on my default.html page so that I get the details when clicking items. Thanks for your help.

"That is because the exact same calendar 'view' is use for both today and any other day"

Whilst I understand, and see the logic of this, perhaps it would be better if the actual 'Today' screen highlighted the button, (it seems illogical that it doesn't follow the same convention as other 'weekly' screens) and perhaps other none 'Today' day screens the button is not highlighted.
