Hi there,

I've got an other question: Is there an easy way to prevent the script when calling the upcoming-events-list as an ssi to show the holidays? I already cerated a selectbox "Holiday?" with a yes/no option. Unfortunately I do not have any clue how to put that into my ssi.html!

Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot, Triple M

Open your ssi.html file, and find the tag <%FOREACH EVENT%>.  It's the part that's indented the farthest in.  Right after that put this line of code:

<% next if ($EVENT->{details}->{holiday} eq "yes"); %>

That should do it.

Hi Dave,

I almost knew that you'd come up with the right answer! Great! Thanks!
There's only one little thing: If there are no other events on a particular date (except the holiday), the date is shown in my upcoming events list without any entries. Can I prevent the script from doing that also?

Thanks so far!

Here's the modified version of the ssi.html that will get you set up correctly.

code:

<%
&getEvents( {'duration'=>$in{duration}} );
$DAY = $Grid->{'grid'}->
->
;
$EVENTS = $DAY->{events};
$total_events=0;
%>
<DL>
<%FOREACH EVENTLIST%>
   <%IF EVENTS EXIST%>
   <%$curr_events = 0;%>
   <%FOREACH EVENT%>
   <%$curr_events++ if ($EVENT->{details}->{holiday} ne "yes"); %>
   <%/FOREACH%>
   <%next unless ($curr_events);%>
   <%$total_events++;%>
   <DT><%=$DAY->{dayname}%>, <%=$DAY->{monthname}%> <%=$DAY->{dd}%>
   <DD>
      <%FOREACH EVENT%>
         <% next if ($EVENT->{details}->{holiday} eq "yes"); %>
         •
         <% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'}) { %><%= $EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'} %><% } %>
         <% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'end_time'}) { %>-<%= $EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'end_time'} %><% } %>
         <% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'}) { %> : <% } %>
         <%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{'title'} %><BR>
      <%/FOREACH%>
   <%/IF%>
<%/FOREACH%>
</DL>
<%unless($total_events){%>
<CENTER><I>No Events</I></CENTER>
<% } %>
<A HREF="<%=$AdminConfig->get("calendar_url")%>?calendar=<%=$calendar_key%>">View Calendar</A>

That code "simulates" the next day by incrementing $curr_events if there is an event that's not a holiday.  Then you check and see if there are any $curr_events, skipping the rest of the display for the current date if there's not.  Give that a try and see what happens.

Hey Dave,

How about if you just wanted to show the holidays?

[Fasta Playa]

Nevermind.  Duh, I got it.  Just sub "eq" for "ne" in the code.

Tripple M, this does exactly what I want to do as well, however I was wondering if you could share you code to add the select box?

Thanks,

L.P.

Or then again:

Is ther a way to achieve the same thing by having the ssi.html file look for certain words or tags in the event's title?

For instance, if I put the word "practice" somewhere in the title, I'd like it to be filtered out of the ssi.

Thanks,

L.P.

Yes,

<% next if ($EVENT->{details}->{title} =~ /practice/); %>
