Ok, I'm back at my old problem. I need to integrate the month grid view of the calendar in my site which has the menu to the left.

I manged to do this with the ilayer/iframe trick from the forum, but once the calendar gets full I get an ugly scroll bar that my customer does not want.

I tried to poke around in the default template, but there's way too much perl etc in there and I just end up with a page that does not work at all.

I managed to remove the calendar's own menu (which I don't want to display on that page) but how/where can I insert my own menu on the left of the calendar?

If somebody was able to do this, maybe you could point me to the location in the template where I could add a table for my menu? Or maybe somebody has a template for this already?

I searched the forum and the plug in page but did not see anything like that.

Again, what I need is:

S I T E   H E A D E R   G R A P H I C   I S   H E R E

MENU   C A L E N D A R   I N  M O N T H  G R I D
OPT1   G O E S   H E R E
OPT2   .
OPT3   .
OPT4   .
ETC    .
      .
      .

Any ideas??

wondering.....

Can you not put the HTML code for it where the original side menu was in the default.html template file?

hmm, I guess I could try that? But - if I remember correctly - I removed that by just commenting some lines out, I'll have to look through my notes.

Iframe works ok, but it's kind of ugly and sometimes forces horizontal scroll bars, which is bad :-)

I'll have to fiddle with this more. Nobody else had to build a template like this? Would be great if one could be added, all that it really would need (I think) is an empty table cell to the left of the calendar display. I tried it several times, but I get lost in all the perl etc :-(

FWIW, here's the code I use to display the calendar right now:
<p class="Header"> <iframe width=700 height=1200 src="http://www.sitename.com/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?calendar=default" align=left >
       <ilayer src="http://www.sitename.com/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?calendar=default" left="-1">
       </ilayer>
       <nolayer> <a href="http://www.sitename.com/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?calendar=default">click
       here for calendar, use 'back' button to return</a> </nolayer> In order
       to see this page correctly you'll need Internet Explorer or the latest
       Netscape Navigator. </iframe></p>

I use IE 5.5 and get a frame as display, not a layer. I tried leaving the iframe part out, but that displays nothing.

I really like this calendar, but I need to solve this display problem before I can go live with it. Is there some way to have the frame size dynamic? I.e. the correct size needed w/o scroll bars? Having two sets of scroll bars (browser and frame) on the page is confusing and kind of ugly.

Thanks so much!

No, not unless the page containing the iframe tag was reloaded and that page could change the iframe tag's attributes each time.

do you know of any site that has a design like mine? I saw one site once that was linked from somewhere in this forum, but I can't find that post anymore.

This can't be all that hard to build and I'm pretty sure others would love a template like this too. I've tried all I can, but there's so much non-html code on the page and I don't know which parts to keep on top of the header etc. I've tried to squeeze an extra table in here and there too, but no luck...
I really need to solve this - hopefully without having to take advanced perl classes ;-)

Any and all ideas are welcome, and if you know of a site that solved this, please let me know! I'm starting to feel really stupid, as this seems a rather simple thing to do...

No but I doubt that would help you anyway. You're going to have to edit the default.html template file and insert the necessary code where you want it to be displayed.

I guess I'll have to give that one more try. We'll see how that goes....

that's exactly what I'm looking for! Just getting back to this topic again, did you modify the calendar default.html page or rebuild the whole thing? I see a lot of very nice coding in your source, but can't tell if any of that is hardcoded or generated for display.

Very nice looking site BTW! Wish I could code so nice, alas, not there yet....

I've tried using the iframe command to include the calendar on a web page called www.mysite.com/calendar

The calendar is called and displays well in the additional frame which is hardly noticeable.  

But I've included a logo in the calendarscript which is linked back to the home page.  When clicked, the home page appears within the iframe - is there a way of turning iframe of when a linked graphic like this is clicked?

Sorry if I'm being dim

** is there a way of turning iframe of when a linked graphic like this is clicked? **

You can assign a target to HTML links. There are a couple of special ones, using "_top" will load the linked page into the very top of the browser (escaping any frames the page with the link on it might be in). Eg

<A HREF="whatever" TARGET="_top">click here</a>

It is really the most elementary HTML, see Targeting Frames.
