First, I should say, I am an idiot. That being said, I can't figure out how to include abbreviated days [instead of Sunday, Monday, Tuesday it's Sun, Mon, Tue etc].

Here is the script I'm working with. I've tried all sorts of things, but can't seem to get it working.

Again, remember that I am an idiot. Thanks

If you don't need the full day names elsewhere, you can change the day names to their abbreviated form in the administration section under template options(?).

Yeah, actually, I knew about that, but unfortunatly, I do use the script elswhere and need the full names for that. Thanks though. Any other thoughts?

[DanO]

In place of
<%= $Grid->{'day_abbreviations'}->[$COL] %>
you could try
<%= $DAY_ABBREVIATIONS->[$COL] %>

At least according to the Documentation under Customization it should work that way?

Holy Bjezus! That was it. Fantastic! Thanks a TON.

"If you don't need the full day names elsewhere, you can change the day names to their abbreviated form in the administration section under template options(?)."

Unfortunately,  this does not work in version 3.2.1. I have also tried substituting 'dayabbreviation' for 'dayname' in the default template html document. It just collapses the columns and does not abbreviate the daynames. In fact there is no text at all.

"In place of
<%= $Grid->{'day_abbreviations'}->[$COL] %>
you could try
<%= $DAY_ABBREVIATIONS->[$COL] %>

At least according to the Documentation under Customization it should work that way"

In which document should this substitution go? Default template?

Many thanks for any help on this.

Well, I have solved my difficulty. I went into the config.txt document in the calendars folder that is in the calendarscript directory and changed the following:

from "day_names=ARRAY(Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturdday) "

to

"day_names=ARRAY(Sun,Mon,Tues,Wed,Thurs,Fri,Sat) "

I think this is probably cheating, but it works. I now have abbreviated days in my calendar.
