Extension talk:SimpleCalendar

This extension is not working for me. When enabled, all code from the script starting from "setFunctionHook" to the end is displayed at the top of my Main Page. Any ideas? Thanks. --Joshuaholland 20:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The script being displayed in the output page usually means that the php opening delimeter (&lt;?) is missing. --Nad 22:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have the opening delimiter (&lt;?) there, and it is interesting that the code desplayed on the Main Page starts at setFunctionHook and not at the beginning of the script, which is what you think would happen if the &lt;? was missing. Josh 00:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm that's pretty weird alright, what's the way you've included it into localsettings? is it pasted directly in, or included as a file? are other extensions working? --Nad 01:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That character before setFunctionHook is a "&gt;", so my guess is that you've pasted the code directly into LocalSettings rather than including from file, and therefore there should be no delimeters since it's already in php context (it would make the opening delimeter a tag which would close when it got to the &gt; before the setFunctionHook) - just a guess tho ;-) --Nad 01:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I just made it <?php and then it worked... Josh 02:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool, ok I guess I should really make the tags like that for everything. --Nad 02:55, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Could I create tasks whose title have some variables

 * I want to create some tasks with titles like "Michael's log 2007_05_01" instead of ""Michael's log 2007_05_01_01_MAY_2007" by using ( and "&preload=Template:Michael's log", any ideas? Thinks!--Roc michael 12:59, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure completely what you mean, but the query-string bit is a good idea which I've just added. I've changed to named parameters now instead of an ordered list, and added a new query parameter which allows query-string items to be added to the newly created dates. --Nad 23:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, Thank you very much! How wonderful it is that we can use peload parameter on the Calendar. I am Chinese in Taiwan and I want to use this extension and DPL in my wiki located in a intranet. So the people here would more like to use the date form of task title like "2007/05/02" than "02/May/2007" or "2007/May/02". I guess that Japanese people may think so. So if we can choose which date form we can use that will be a nice thing. Thank you!--Roc michael 15:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I added another parameter called format, you can change to the format you asked for of 2007/05/02 with the following,

 * Thank you, Nad. I appreciate you for what you did.--Roc michael 13:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Adding a prefix to day links?
$table .= "|$t|$day\n";" and mostly it works, but it seems there should be a more elegant way. Also, this makes the subpage have a colon instead of a slash before it, which is what I want. Thanks. Josh 14:15, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Can the variable $prefix be used like this? I'd like the days to link to a page in the current namespace and subpage.  I tried giving it a value to $prefix but that didn't work.  I was able to code it into this line
 * Actually, I got the formatting to work right, but still wondering if there is a better way for me to code it. Thanks.  Josh 17:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think putting mediawiki-variables in the code like that would just hardwire them into the code when its saved, they wouldn't be dynamic. You can add dynamic prefixes like this:

Could it be possible that this great calendar could get a new face with a parameter?
When I display this great calendar with dpl some one marvel at the wonderful result of the two extensions. But since I've used another calendar (User:Hex2bit/Calendar), some body used to using it. If Simple Calendar could get a new face with a parameter, I think it will be a nice thing. Nad, I believe that you can make it be possible to find a way to Integrate them, right? :-) --Roc michael 01:21, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Not sure about that, you'll need to explain in more detail what you're wanting to be done... do you mean a skin? It defines all its parts with CSS classes so you can change the look of it easily. --Nad 04:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
