Apologies for the cross post, but I got no replies to my post from 3 weeks ago on the GoogleEvents support thread, and I don’t know if my problem is related to that particular app or a more generic snippet problem...
GoogleEvents looks ideal for displaying the rehearsal and concert schedule on our big band’s web site, that I’ve taken over and built in MODx 1.0.2, but I can’t get it to display anything on the page. I’m sure I must be doing something very simple wrong. The call I’m currently using is this:
[!GoogleEvents?dayNameSize=`3`&outputType=`list`&maxEvents=`50`&lastEvent=`365`&email=`[ourcalendar]@gmail.com`&dateFormat=`D,Mj`!]
I’ve tried adding in spaces between parameters, taking them out etc. but all I’m seeing on the page is the title that I’ve put in as text, not even an error message or the text of the snippet call. Any ideas?
A possibly related question is this: the readme instructions give the parameters and sample snippets followed by a list of placeholders, separated by the (to me) intriguing sentence
The placeholders that you can use in the chunks passed to the snippet for a template are:
Does this mean the snippet won’t work without using chunks that I’d have to code myself? Is this the "something obvious" I’m missing?
I don’t know if it’s relevant, but another snippet on another page (SimpleSlideShow) has also suddenly stopped working - well I say stopped working, but actually the page is defaulting to the home page (presumably an error and I have return to home page in the event of an error set in the config). All I have done is add the installation/site sub-directory to .htaccess and set the site ready to use friendly URLs
Thank you very much in advance!
