mxcalendar not working for me

Hello there!

I just installed the mxcalender 1.1.10 through the Package Management in Modx Revo 2.2.10, which worked fine. Then I added the calendar name, calendar categories and events, which are all in the MySQL-DB as well.

In my resource I chose the code from the rtfm-site:

[[!mxcalendar?]]

But nothing shows up?! I cleared the chache, tried different browsers, but no output.

I tried several other snippet-calls I found in the net (with and without AJAX-implementation), but nothing works for me.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong here?

Kind regards!

EDIT: the calendar and all categories and events are active!

Ok, i tried several things...

With the normal call from the rtfm

[[!mxcalendar?]]

I did get any output at all.

Then I tried the ajax-call like this:

Resource 5 - the normal front-end-page

[[!mxcalendar?
&ajaxResourceId=`10`
&modalView=`1`
]]

Resource 10 - the ajax page with blank/wíthout template

[[!mxcalendar?]]

Result

So when I reload Resource 5 - the normal front-end-page - I still see any output at all. When I opened Resource 10 - the ajax-page - I see the entered events without any further HTML and CSS because of the blank template.

So I tried to interchange the code from Resource 5 to Resource 10 like this:

Resource 5 - the normal front-end-page

[[!mxcalendar?]]

Resource 10 - the ajax page with blank/wíthout template

[[!mxcalendar?
&ajaxResourceId=`10`
&modalView=`1`
]]

Result

same as before...

I tried to set the ajax-page in cached- and uncached-mode without any difference. Cache was cleared before each refresh.

I have no clue what's happening there. Any hint is much appreciated!

Cheers in advance! [ed. note: profilneurotiker last edited this post 10 years, 2 months ago.]

after trying several more thins and some rest inbetween I finally got it working:

Resource 5 - the normal front-end-page, cached

[[!mxCalendar? 
&mxcAjaxPageId=`10` 
&displayType=`list`
&modalView=`1`
&dir=`ASC`
]]

Resource 10 - the ajax page with blank/wíthout template, uncached

[[!mxcalendar?]]

Now everything shows up as it shlould be in default!

I tried furthermore to change the language for the output by adding this to the snippet-call:

&language=`de`

but the front-end-output is still in english (weekdays, months, duration, hours, minutes).

I also need to change the timecode to "European", means not in am/pm but in 24 hrs...

Last thing I try to sort out is how I can show all events of today (or if today is empty the next day with entries) and all events by weekday in list-mode?

I want to use the mxCalendar for a Yoga-company which offers courses to their customers.

Any hints on my posted issues possible?

Hi there,

did you get any further?
I would be interested, because Im planning to use it also for a sportsarea.
Like you, I did a fast shot this evening, but there is no event showing up.

Would be great if you could share your affords

Thanks Nudibranch

Smile, it confuses people!

Hi there!

My first fault was that I did set the snippet-call for the "mxcalender" inside a resource, but I forgot to set

[[*content]]

in the template. So nothing could show up.

Afterwards I managed it with the listed Ajax-Calls I entered above. But finally I managed my stuff with folders and resources by using getResources, which seemed more suitable for my case.
