Support/Comments for DittoCal

This is an auto-generated support/comment thread for DittoCal.

Use this forum to post any comments about this addition or any questions you have regarding its use.

Brief Description:
DittoCal creates a customizable calendar for your Modx blog. The calendar allows your users to navigate through your blog posts by clicking on the date to view the post.

Do you have a version that doen’t use a table?

An easy argument can be made that a calendar is semantically tabular data, if you’re just worrying about tables are evil for layouts.

Great work, Kyle! Good use of the JSON output from Ditto.

I’ll definitely give it a try out this week and feedback.

Indeed, great work... neglected to say that!

Great work Kyle!!

Thanks for sharing.

regards,

I thought about doing a calendar without tables, but it is a layout/design nightmare. If anyone has a good solution for displaying a calendar without tables I would love to see it.

I agree with this. Tables seem very logical for displaying calender data, imo.

Great work and now some requests
Is it possible to add this :

• possibility to mask / show the next link after the month if the month after current is not yet (ex. : we are on July and I would like not show the next link to August
• possibility to display the month of the post shown : currently, if I navigate with the calendar to June, I select the 5th of June, the post of this date is shown but the calendar displays July. It is a bug ?
• possibilty to view all posts of one month by clicking on this

That is a good idea, I will look into adding that.

This isn’t a bug, the functionality just isn’t there. I think this shouldn’t be to hard to add.

You can already do this. In the snippet there is an array named monthLinks (it is commented out). Just setup a page that displays the month of posts and then add it to the array. There may be an easier way to do this with passing in some parameters to a page with a ditto call, so you don’t need a page for each month, but I will have to research that.

sorry for my bad english =)

Have some problem with yr nice snippet

u can watch error here: http://schizo-insi.de/blog
json: http://schizo-insi.de/_system/json

foreach($postData->entries as $n => $v) {
