"order" is TRUE for reverse chronological and FALSE for chronological.

When I set &order=`FALSE`

It has no effect. I want the events closest todays date to show up first.

Try &order=`0`. I believe snippets treat all arguments as strings, so a string consisting of the word "FALSE" would evaluate to true.

There is no "order" parameter for this snippet call. Maybe I can add this feature in the next version.

it might be a very noob question, but where should i look for the locale files? i would like to add a new one to show the proper names of the days and months.

I also have some trouble showing the events in the calendar. The calendar is there, but the sundays aren’t red as on the demo page and i’m missing the borders for the numbers too, and also none of the events in the chunk are shown.
Do i have to add custom css files for the events to show up? Are the class, and title definitions necessary? and if yes, what are the default possibilities for the class variable?
Is it possible that the different system locale and modx locale is causing the trouble? is it possible that the dates in the chunk are not recognized are correct dates because of the different local timeformat?

You don’t need locale files. It’s a feature of php. Only set die locale to "en_US" or something else. Should work.

You have to specify a class. There is no default. The default for the title is "Events".
To make sundays red and for the borders you have to add this formating into the css of your template (or include a separate css file in your template).
Here is the calendar part of the css for the demo page:

/* calendar
------------------------------------------------------------------ */
table.eventcalendar {
}
table.eventcalendar .month_title {
	font-size: 1.1em;
	font-weight: bold;
}
table.eventcalendar .linked-day {
}
table.eventcalendar td {
	text-align:center;
	padding:2px;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
table.eventcalendar td.sunday {
	border: 1px solid #FF0000;
}
table.eventcalendar td.ec_ferien {
	color: #000000 !important;
	background-color:#FFFFCC !important;
}
table.eventcalendar td.ec_feiertage {
	color: #000000 !important;
	background-color:#FFCC66 !important;
}
table.eventcalendar td.ec_geburtstag {
	color: #000000 !important;
	background-color:#00FFFF!important;
}
table.eventcalendar td.weeknumber {
	text-align:right;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	border: none;
}
table.eventcalendar td.empty {
	text-align:center;
	color: none;
	border: none;
}

table.eventcalendar th {
	text-align:center;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #FFFF33;
}
table.eventcalendar a{
    text-decoration: none;
    border-bottom: none; 
}

table.eventcalendar .current_day {
	font-weight: bold;
	
}

The day format of the chunk is independent of you local timeformat. The three supported formats are "manually" parsed in the snippet code.

thanks, it did clear up the css myth:) Now I can see the calendar the way i set it, the only problem is that it does show the events with ShowList, but they aren’t in the calendar itself (although i set the correct class and define it in the css). also the current day can’t be seen in bold. do you have any idea what may be the cause of this?

Do you have an example? Or maybe you can send me your page and the css file(s)?

Hi !!

I’ve installed the snippet but when I preview the site, modx give me this error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_OLD_FUNCTION’ or `T_FUNCTION’ or `T_VAR’ or `’}’’ in e:\easyphp1-8\www\assets\snippets\eventcalendar\eventcalendar.inc.php on line 37

any idea ?

Which PHP version do you have? My version is 5.xx
If you have version 4 or less there maybe a problem with "public". I think this is new in PHP5.
Try to remove the "public" before each function.
