I am looking to combine the functionality of two separate templates. I like the layout/feel of the default template but prefer the pop-up window method of displaying event details found in the oldstyle template. Is there any way to combine the two templates into something functional??? I just downloaded the script last night so I haven't had a chance to do much poking around. If anyone has any ideas or possible solutions, please let me know. Thanks...

Prepare for a few steps to accomplish what you'd like to do...

1. Copy these HTML files into your default calendar directory:
   
   
   
   • /oldstyle/event_detail.html (actually displays event details)
     
   • /oldstyle/styles_scripts.html (include file with popup information script)
     
   
   
2. Add the following line somewhere in the head of the default.html file:

   code:

   <!--#include file="styles_scripts.html"-->

3. Anywhere there is a hyperlink to the event details, change the link from
   

   code:

   <A HREF="<%=$CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>view=Event&event_id=<%= EVENT FIELD(id) %>" CLASS="gridtext">

   
   to
   

   code:

   <A HREF="<%=$CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>popup=0&template=event_detail.html&event_id=<%=$EVENT->{'details'}->{'id'}%>" onClick="showDetails('<%=$EVENT->{'details'}->{'id'}%>');return false;">

   
   

It worked for me!

Kayleigh,
Thanks so much for your reply. Unfortunately I'm at work right now so I'll have to wait until late tonight to try your solution out. I'll post back with the results and any additional questions that might come up.

Many thanks to Kayleigh for posting this little hack.  It's been a while since, though, so I'm hoping someone may have and answer for a related question:

Using this has allowed me to have popups with the default template, which is nice since I'd just as soon not use the 'time listing' at all.  However, the popup fix as I've applied it only works on events that have been posted.  If you click on the date (numeral) of an empty day it still opens the time list.

Can anyone suggest a fix for this, perhaps a popup that reads 'no events scheduled' or something similar?

Thanks in advance.
