Hi I have your calendar up and working.  It is doing everything it needs to do perfectly.  However, I need to sett up a SSI to show the upcoming weeks events on the main page.  I have not done any server side programming to date and need detailed instructions and am willing to pay for help in setting this up.  I am a registered user for the application as well.

thanks in advance for any help

You can read several related topics in the 'Links' section of the Unofficial CalendarScript - Mods and Plugins site.

Did you look at any of the links I directed you to??

The very first one titled "Having trouble with SSI" has a simple step by step description of what needs to be done in the very last post of that message thread. I don't know that I can make it much simpler than that.

If you have any specific questions, myself or others will try to answer them.

I have tried several of the various ssi templates set the dates to different things.  No matter what i call it seems to call the whole calendar on the page (at least its displaying something now)  Any ideas helps or suggestions appreciated six pack of killians to who solves firs or beer of your choice no cheap domestics    

One additional thingy Can the ssi template be set to not display the command options boxes.

I have dug and dug thru the forums.  It looks like mine is going to have to manually
create a second calendar.pl name it something like frontpage.pl or some such and
force it use the mincal or ssi template.\

My server only allows the exec script for ssi so I can't use one of the includes that calls the script directly with the desired template.

I have looked and looked thru the script and cant find what needs changed and where it needs changed.

Again thanks for the help so far I know I am getting closer but am losing hair quickly.

That occurrence is discussed in the 3rd SSI related link I directed you to previously. See SSI head ache !

** Can the ssi template be set to not display the command options boxes. **

It doesn't, all it displays a list of upcoming events. You can see that template's output by calling your script with the following query string:

...calendar.pl?template=ssi.html

I have tried this

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?template=ssi.html&duration=2d&calendar=default"-->
i have tried
<!--#exec cmd="/cgi-bin/calendar.pl" -->
with the command parameters
i tried changing it to seven day

neither WORKS nothing in the message thread that you have given me seems to WORK  the only thing I can get to display is the whole CALENDAR.  I AM GOING crazy.  I have gone thru
every thread on the entire forum that I can find that relates to SSI.

I did run the script from the browser as you suggested
that works wonderfully to see what the template looks like and it is exactly what I am needing.

NOW how the H---- do I get it to work.

You want money hair beer women name it you may have it
cept for hair I now have none.

thanks

The 'include virtual' SSI command is not supported on all server types besides Apache.

If your server is not setting the appropriate environment variables for the script to know it's being called via SSI and you can not use the 'include virtual' SSI tag, you may have to resort to displaying the ssi.html template inside an HTML iframe on your main page.

Sorry.

BTW. Someone posted that they got the following SSI tag to work on their server. I doubt it will work on all servers but yours might be one?

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?template=ssi.html&duration=14d" -->

JFYI

actually that did it so its working.
I'll have to learn to modify the template so that the text colors for time and date are the same as what shows in the main calendar display but that does work ye ha.

** actually that did it so its working. **

Glad to hear you got it going.
