I am using ssi_max_days.html to display events for the next 30 days on my web page, but one of the limitations of the script is that it will only show events for that month, no matter what you set the variable $max_days to.  Is there anyway to tweak it so that it will show events in the next month to?

Here is ssi_max_days.html

<%
$DAY = $Grid->{'grid'}->

• ->
• ;
  $EVENTS = $DAY->{events};
  $total_events=0;
  $max_days=30;
  $total_days=0;
     $time = time;
     ($neg_pos,$hours) = ($vars{time_offset} =~ /([+-])(\d+)/);
     if ($neg_pos eq '+') {
        $time += (60*60 * $hours);
     }
     else {
     $time -= (60*60 * $hours);
     }
     ($mday,$month,$year) = (localtime($time))[3,4,5];
     $month = $month+1;
     $year = $year+1900;
     $datestamp = sprintf("%4.4d%2.2d%2.2d",$year,$month,$mday);
  %>
  <DIV STYLE="margin-left:10; margin-right:5;margin-top:0;">
  <DL>
  <FONT size=1>
  <a HREF="<%=$AdminConfig->get("calendar_url")%>?calendar=<%=$Calendar%>" target=_blank>View Calendar</a><br><br>
  <STRONG>Upcoming Events:</STRONG></FONT><br><br>
  <%FOREACH EVENTLIST%>
     <%IF EVENTS EXIST%>
     <%$total_events++;%>
     <%if($DAY->{dd} >= $mday) { %>
     <%if($total_days >= $max_days) {
          exit();
     }%>
     <%$total_days++;%>

     <DT>
        <a href="<%= $CGI_URL %>?view=Day&datestring=<%=$YEAR%><%=$MONTH%><%=$linkday%>" target=_blank><font size=1 COLOR="#000000"><%=$DAY->{monthname}%> <%=$DAY->{'dd'}%></font></a>
        <BR>
  <ul STYLE="margin:0; padding:0; margin-left:15px;list-style-type: disc; ">
        <%FOREACH EVENT%>
           <font size=1><li>
           <%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{'title'} %></li></font>         
           <BR>
        <%/FOREACH%>
  </ul>
        <BR>
     <%/IF%>
     <%}%>
  <%/FOREACH%>
  </DL>
  <%unless($total_events){%>

Hi there,
I really would like to figure this out.  Anyone out there know how to display events in more than one month, so that if I set the duration to 30 days and it is near the end of the month, events in the next month will be displayed?

Thanks!
Kristen

** Anyone out there know how to display events in more than one month **

I don't know how you can correct the above template but the original ssi.html template that is supplied with CalendarScript can display events for durations spanning months.

JFYI

I still can't get more than one month to show up.
I used the ssi.html file and that would only display one month too.  I really need to figure this out.  If anyone out there can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

You can see the results of the code I am using now at http://www.kristenwalker.com/test.php

Here is the code I am using now:

<%
&getEvents( {'duration'=>$in{duration}} );
$DAY = $Grid->{'grid'}->

• ->
• ;
  $EVENTS = $DAY->{events};
  $total_events=0;
  $time = time;
     ($neg_pos,$hours) = ($vars{time_offset} =~ /([+-])(\d+)/);
     if ($neg_pos eq '+') {
        $time += (60*60 * $hours);
     }
     else {
     $time -= (60*60 * $hours);
     }
     ($mday,$month,$year) = (localtime($time))[3,4,5];
     $month = $month+2;
     $year = $year+1900;
     $datestamp = sprintf("%4.4d%2.2d%2.2d",$year,$month,$mday);

  %>
  <DL>
  <%if($MONTH <= 9) {
        $MONTH = "0$MONTH";
  }%>
  <%FOREACH EVENTLIST%>
     <%IF EVENTS EXIST%>
     <%$total_events++;%>
     <%if($DAY->{dd} >= $mday) { %>
     <DT>   <a href="<%= $CGI_URL %>?calendar=&selected_datestring=<%=$YEAR%><%=$MONTH%><%=$DAY->{'dd'}%>&datestring=<%=$YEAR%><%=$MONTH%><%=$DAY->{'dd'}%>&template=day. html&duration=60d" target=_blank><font size=1 COLOR="#000000"><%=$DAY->{monthname}%> <%=$DAY->{'dd'}%></font></a>
     <BR>      
     <DD>
     <ul STYLE="margin:0; padding:0; margin-left:5px;list-style-type: disc; ">
        <%FOREACH EVENT%>
           <font size=1><li>
           <%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{'title'} %></li></font>         
           <BR>
        <%/FOREACH%>
  </ul><br>
     <%/IF%>
       <%}%>
  <%/FOREACH%>
  </DL>
  <%unless($total_events){%>
  <CENTER><I>No Events</I></CENTER>
  <% } %>
  <A HREF="<%=$AdminConfig->get("calendar_url")%>?calendar=<%=$calendar_key%>">View Calendar</A>

Okay, I figured out how to display events in the next month, but now the links to the days are wrong.  They are okay for the first month, but the month number does not change for the second month, so when you click on links for those days, you get taken to the day of first month.

This is the code I am using to link to the calendar day:

<a href="<%= $CGI_URL %>?calendar=&selected_datestring=<%=$YEAR%><%=$MONTH%><%=$DAY->{'dd'}%>&template=day.html" target=_blank><font size=1 COLOR="#000000"><%=$DAY->{monthname}%> <%=$DAY->{'dd'}%></font></a>

The monthname shows up correctly, but the value of <%=$MONTH%> is not changing accordingly.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks!
Krisen

Really?? As long as you were passing the correct duration information to the template, there should be no reason it wouldn't display more than the current month's events. AFAIK. There should be no limit to the number of days it is capable of displaying. It only defaults to the current month if no duration information is received by it.

I'm afraid I have no idea where you problem is.

** The monthname shows up correctly, but the value of <%=$MONTH%> is not changing accordingly **

From the Documentation: Customization: Defined Variables:

quote:$MONTH The month number of the currently displayed date.

Which usually means the name of the first month being displayed on the template.

Is there any way to get the month to change?

** Is there any way to get the month to change? **

Yes, use the correct variable. Check the docs at the page I previously linked to about the $Grid variable.

But, if you're just trying to generate a datestring for use in the link URL, the following variable should generate the whole datestring, no need for separate <%=$YEAR%> <%=$MONTH%> <%=$DAY->{'dd'}%> variables at all.

$DAY->{'datestring'}

BTW. Using the month variable alone wouldn't necessarily generate a 2-digit (01, 02, 03, etc.) value like the datestring would need. I believe it only returns a single digit date (1, 2, 3, etc.) but if you want to try:

$DAY->{'mm'}
