Support/Comments for Kalender

Thank you for this great snippet but it’s just a shame you need the hacks in this forum to make it work. Why isn’t the full working snippet in the repository? Would be nice

Well, besides that, it’s a very usefull snippet. For my site I only missed an option to show only the summary (introtext) in the tooltips, because the text in the content can be to long.

So, I decided to make an addition to the snippet and added the parameter &showInfo, which values can be `intro` to show only the summary (introtext), `content` to show only the content and `both` to show both introtext and content (duh...), which is the default value. Added this little explanation in the snippet itself.

If anyone has use for it, I post it here. It’s only the part of the snippet you should copy/paste into the Manager.

I had this snippet working, but suddenly I got this error:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

Is this something my provider has changed, or can I do something to get it working again?

I use Modx version: 0.9.5 with PHP version: 4.3.11

I contacted my provider and this is their answer (partly, translated from dutch):

’From this moment on, it’s not possible anymore to include external URLs in PHP with the command "fopen" (allow_url_fopen). This is done for security reasons (...). There are possibilities to include urls by using Perl. The include variable should be altered with a Perl script, which takes care of the include.’

Then they give this Perl example:


and the php-code how to use this:



What I don’t understand is in which way the Kalender snippet uses an ’external’ url call? Or is the url http://domainname.com/index.php?id=49&mo=5&yr=2007 seen as external?

Isn’t there another solution to this problem?

Well, I must say that the helpdesk of my provider really tries to help me. They even turned off the safety setting for external includes for 10 minutes to test the snippet

As it turned out even then the snippet doesn’t work. So, they conluded that there has to be a path that’s wrong or something like that.

Looking into the code, I changed this code


into this:


and now the calendar works again

I intend to look further into the code to see if I can improve some things.

One of them will be how to use different languages as setlocale() doesn’t seem to have any effects at all. For what I’ve seen so far is that the first characters of the days are hardcoded into the snippet...

When I have some results, I will post it here

As promised, I looked in the code and made some changes to the snippet.

Added 4 new parameters to make it more flexible in use. Also added the newest overLib 4.21 files. Because of these changes I named it version 1.1

I posted it in the repository, so you can find it here

Wanted to add it to the original submission of Kalender, but since this is my first submission to the repository, it’s added as a new one (oops).

If someone can move it and add it to the original submission of Kalender, please do.

Heres the one I’ve ended up with after quite a few tweaks to get paths finding what its supposed to etc... Works for me, I hope it does for you too =). Much thanks to Danny van Ommen for the original snippet =).

Big love to all you MODx-minded people

I have the solution for you. Not only have I changed the snippets code, but also added a new class .kalender-dayCurrent to the css file so you can style it the way you want.

Now I’m looking into the code to see if I can achieve that dates with events can be made linkable to their pages. When I can get this working, I will post a new version to the repository.

For now, I post the new snippetcode here and also the css file which you should upload to your assets/snippets/kalender/themes/gold directory.

WeBe, thanks a lot... works fine... now that I see the changes, I should have done it myself
instead of asking , but thanks again anyway...

You’re right that this addition isn’t that difficult to achieve. Only thing is that it’s not your own code, so you have to dig into it and find the right place to insert the changes.

This is also the hard part to find out where I can make the changes to make dates with events linkable. I’m not a php guru, so it can take a while before I figure this one out.
