Calendar issue in version 1.4.2

[uni]

I just installed Pixelpost

"You are running version 1.4.2 of Pixelpost. Released 18 July 2005"

I don't seem to be able to get the calendar working. Can someone provide me with a screenshot of what the horizontal calendar looks like in the new version?

I'd appreciate it. Everything's working but this.

it isn't changed. check the your teplate. it should have the calendar tag to shot the calendar.

Ok, that did resolve the issue when I changed the template from the default to "light". Does that mean the default template does not suppor a calendar???

the default template does not right now. when i get back from holiday the end of the week i will quickly make an addition to the stylesheets to allow calendars.

sorry this wasn't already included. i forgot as i don't use a calendar.


also, if i don't get back to this topic next monday please pm me.

it is very simple to add the calendar to that template, templates are simple!

just add the tag <SITE_CALENDAR> to the template where you want to have it and activate it in the admin-panel / options

and there you are ! :lol:

is there a way to get a calendar that shows the current date and not just the date the picture was posted on?

I tried that on my site with the simple template in version 1.4.2 but the calendar doesn't look right. It works but isn't very useful because all you see is this:

01020304050607080910111213141516171819202122232425 262728293031
« july 2005 »

Im my image template I added the following after activating the calendar in the admin panel:

<center>
<SITE_CALENDAR>
<br><br>
</center>



For an example of what this looks like visit my pixelpost blog at http://dailysnapshots.org

As I said, it *does* work but you can't really tell when a post was made and the appearance is horrible.

Any tips on making it look better?

yes, format the calendar-elements with CSS!!!!

that's why we have CSS for all calendar-formats


.kalender {position:absolute;top:45px;left:20px;width:auto;m ax-width:82%;padding:0;font-size:10px;font-weight:110;letter-spacing:-1px;}
.td-calendar-days-vz {padding:1px;text-align:center;border-top:0 solid inherit;border:0 none inherit;}
.td-calendar-days {padding:1px;text-align:center;border:1px none inherit;}
.td-calendar-navi-vz {border:0 none inherit;text-align:center;letter-spacing:1px;word-spacing:5px;}
.td-calendar-navi-vz a {text-decoration:none;}
.td-calendar-navi {border-top:0 none inherit;border:0 none inherit;text-align:left;letter-spacing:1px;word-spacing:5px;}
.td-calendar-navi a {text-decoration:none;}
.td-calendar-days-imagefound {padding:1px;text-align:center;border:1px dotted black;}
.td-calendar-days-imagefound:hover {border:1px solid red;}
.td-calendar-days-imagefound a {text-decoration:none;}
.td-calendar-days-imagefound a:hover {text-decoration:none;color:#fff;}
.table-calendar {font-size:9px;padding:0;margin:0;width:600px;border:2px none inherit;}
.table-calendar-vz {font-size:9px;padding:0;margin:0;width:200px;border:0 none inherit;}

that is what I did at http://www.photografitti.de

so you can format your calendar-days as you want, it's up to you

you know, the meaning of examples is to activate creativity and to open possibilities for modifying the elements, not to chew every small bite already...

Thanks again Connie. I am not all that familiar with CSS... sorry if I'm wasting your time.
