    I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. When I did, the module screen that has the "Start Now" button has an area under it that has this error message:

    Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/content/50/7126950/html/modx-1.0.4/assets/modules/mxCalendar/config/config.xml" in /home/content/50/7126950/html/modx-1.0.4/assets/modules/mxCalendar/mxCalendar.class.php on line 2211


    Double check the folder name under modules and see if the "C" is capitalized there, as it does look like the simplexml module is available it just can’t find the file or is unable to read it. You might also double check the file permissions are at least 644 on the "/mxCalendar/config/config.xml"

    cheers

      First off I’d like to say that this is a great module and work very well. I love the recurring events and the inclusion of the Google maps is great.

      However I have an issue in the way that I want to use it. I’d like to only display today’s items in list view. Or alternatively a weeks items only. I’d also like to be able to paginate list view.

      Is this possible to do and if so where abouts would this be done. Thanks in advance

      You can use the "mxcEndDate" and "mxcStartDate" parameters to narrow the result set of the list http://code.google.com/p/mxcalendar/wiki/Parameters_0_0_7 which use the PHP strtotime() function.

      &mxcStartDate=`last month` &mxcEndDate=`next week`
      


      As for the pagination it’s not native to mxCalendar in it’s current release, but I hope to have that ability in the coming release.

      cheers

        I am using Evo 1.0.4 and have the next to latest mxCalendar release installed on my Godaddy web server. My issue is that I have not been able to get the calendar to show ANY styling. I was sure that I didn’t have to position anything since everything came together in a full module package. All of the stylesheets and everything are there, but for some odd reason my site doesn’t read them.... I posted before, but the solutions weren’t sufficient to meet my needs... Here is a link to the page:http://sevenpillarscdc.org/modx-1.0.4/index.php?id=5.
        I thank you sincerely for ANY help that you can give me....

        Sorry that you had issues getting this to work on your site, however it does appear that you site is lacking the base_url s your current site header area is as follows:

        <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <title>Welcome to Seven Pillars Community Development Center! --- Calendar</title>
        <link href="assets/SEVEN_PILLARS/7PILLARS_PAGES.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <link href="http://sevenpillarscdc.org/modx-1.0.4/assets/modules/mxCalendar/themes/default/css/mxCalendar.css
        " rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        
        
            <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/modules/mxCalendar/scripts/moodalbox121/js/moodalbox.v1.2.full.js"></script>
            
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/modules/mxCalendar/scripts/moodalbox121/css/moodalbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/modules/mxCalendar/themes/default/css/mxCalendar.css" /> 
        </head>
        


        if you notice that mxCalendar does not use the absolute base "/" prefix and you’ll want to add the base tag to the header, which should clear up the issues. If that does not work try coping out the last three lines in the rendered heard and manually place them in your page template file with the correct base path and it will render properly.
          <base href="[(base_url)]"></base>
        


        let me know if you still have issues.

        cheers

          Hi Charles-

          I was very excited to find this module!! Thanks for all of your hard work!!

          I have set this up on a test site and I ran into a couple of issues-

          Repeating events and multi-day events don’t show the correct start time in list view. (see http://testsite2.softsolutionshv.com/calendar.html - look in the sidebar- radio show is a repeating event, festival is a multi-day event )

          I can’t get google maps to display in the ajax details popup window. I set map width and height to a pixel value, and the Google map displays fine when mxcAjaxPageId is null (http://testsite2.softsolutionshv.com/calendar.html), but the map does not display at all when $mxcAjaxPageId is set and the details come up in a modal window (http://testsite2.softsolutionshv.com/calendar2.html - all of the purple events (concerts) should display a map.). Do you have any idea what I may have done wrong?

          I also have a few questions-

          Is there any way to have a 12 hr, am pm choice in the time picker? The "24 hour display (mgr)" true/false toggle seems to have no effect. I went into mxCalendar.tpl.php and changed the display format to read am/pm, but can’t see how to change the actual timepicker to a 12 hour format.

          Is there any way to leave the end date blank if it is not needed? I tried adding allowEmpty: true, to line 73 of mxCalendar.tpl.php, but it doesn’t seem to do anything- it still forces an end date on save.

          Any plans to add a color picker to the categories tab foreground and background colors? I tried to see if I could figure out how to add mooRainbow which I have used on more traditional pages, but I am not a good enough coder to figure out where it all should go in this module.

          Thanks again, Charles!! If I can iron out these little issues it will be great to not have to use google calendar for all of my clients!

          Teri


          Let me address them one-to-one I hope:

          Issue
          1) Repeating events and multi-day events don’t show the correct start time in list view.
          1a) Depending on the type the start time is calculated differently; for multi day events it will actually start at the next day 12am, which has been fixed in the latest development version, but not yet released in the package that uses the actual start time for mutli day events. The repeat event should inherit the parents start time so I’ll dig into this more.

          2) I can’t get google maps to display in the ajax details popup window.
          2a) Correct, this is a know issue and no solution is in place yet to fix this.

          3) Is there any way to have a 12 hr, am pm choice in the time picker?
          3a) The current solution would be to change your configuration to use the "Advanced Date Entry" by setting this to "true" which will allow manual input of datetime.

          4) Is there any way to leave the end date blank if it is not needed?
          4a) This was a previous enhancement request and is updated in the current development version, but not released in the package yet,will be in next release package.

          5) Any plans to add a color picker to the categories tab foreground and background colors?
          5a) Ah yes, that I’ve had on the list, just haven’t gotten around to it.

          As always if you find the module useful please help by donating.

            Thanks Charles. If I end up using this in production I’ll definitely spring for a couple of cups...

            Any time frame for the next release? Evo or Revo?

            Thanks-

              Hi Charles, thanks for your reply and I look forward to the next release. In the meantime I will look at using jquery carousel to add in a next and previous.

              I have another question though and one I have not been able to solve, I have the Ajax Search code on my website which uses mootools. Works as it should. However as mxCalendar also uses mootools It always uses Ajax mode, where as i want it to display a page with the content and the Google map, which works great if I disable the js in the search function. Is there any way to disable the js in the calendar in list view so it will always go to the page rather than ajax mode.

              Thanks in advance.

                If you have the parameter "mxcAjaxPageId" set in your snippet request for the list, just remove it and that should force the event to open in it’s own page vs. the modal box. Let me know if you still have issues and if so please past your snippet call here as well.

                cheers

                  Right now I got railed on a big project, so unless there is an urgent bug fix then it will probably be in the next couple of weeks.

                    Item three on the list is a bug, as the "Advanced Date Entry" does not remove the date picker module, sorry I’ll add it to the bug list.

                    3) Is there any way to have a 12 hr, am pm choice in the time picker?
                    3a) The current solution would be to change your configuration to use the "Advanced Date Entry" by setting this to "true" which will allow manual input of datetime. BUG: No change in UI

                      Setting my configuration to use the "Advanced Date Entry" was one of the first things I tried- was going to go back and look at that today, so your bug post definitely saved me some time, thanks.

                      I was thinking of using this in a current project instead of my usual iframe Google Cal semi-solution... It’s not urgent at the moment- I am waiting on client input and my client is on tour so it might be a couple of weeks anyway.

                      I’m really glad to know that this project isn’t abandoned!! Both Evo and Revo really need this extension!!! Thanks again for taking it on!
