simple calendar

Im looking for a simple calendar that just highlights the current day and shows the other days of the month in the normal grid.

I dont need anything like the event calendar, although thats all i can seem to dig up.

any ideas?

How about "Kalender"? I think, version 1.1 is the current one. I tried it on friday, and it works. Although i had to tune the source code because it didn’t work with my file paths to include the template-files. So i hard coded the path names it all went fine.

This Kalender can also highlight Events that can easily be stored under a special root. But that did not work with my test. Hovering highlited Days in the applet threw javascript errors.

I’ll try again, because I don’t think this snippet is faulty.

I found the Google calendar to be really simple to set up, although it’s big enough that you have to devote a page to it.

This is all the code it takes:

<code>

<iframe width="480" height="588" frameborder="0" src="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=your%domain.com&amp;title=SD54%20Calendar&amp;chrome=NAVIGATION&amp;bgcolor=%23f5fffa&amp;height=588" style="border-width: 0pt;"></iframe>

</code>

You need to set it up at Google and you need to log on to Google to enter and edit events, but I got the one shown below up and displayed the way I wanted in less than 20 minutes.

One negative: The events don’t wrap in the cells so you have to click on the agenda tag to see them. I keep expecting Google to fix this. It’s been a known problem for a long time.

Another down side is that you don’t have the events in the MODx database for use with mailing, publication dates, etc. If you don’t need that, however, it’s a nice temporary fix for those needing a calendar. Also, you don’t have the code to hack.


For the time being, you can see a version of my Google calendar at:

(convert underlines to dots - it’s a test site that shouldn’t be indexed)
