I have two questions about styling the satellite module.

1. Is it possible to have the mini calendar on the side of the events listing rather than on top of the event listings?

2. Are there any formatting options available for the display of the [EVENTDATE]. For example can you pass options like [EVENTDATE: MMM dd] to display Mar 20 in the date?

You can see what I'm trying to accomplish with this module at the following link: http://scbar.euclidtechnology.com/

Hi,

Good site!!

1. current no, it is fixed to the top, it maybe a good idea to allow user to decide where to put in the future versions...

2. yes, you can format the [EVENTDATE] using the date time format string, for example: [EVENTDATE|MMM dd]

Thanks

Having the ability to place the mini calendar would be great. I ended up using the module twice on the same page. Once with the calendar and a blank template, and then again with no calendar and the event listing template.

Thanks for the date notations as well.

Great!

I just ran into another issue and I'm wondering if it is a problem with my install or my css settings. In IE8 all of the calendar pop-up boxes are not working correctly. They don't work as links and they are displaying as transparent. Here is the link to the event calendar page.

Here are some screenshots of what we are seeing in IE8.

I do my development in Firefox so I didn't notice this problem before.

Yes, it might be the problem with IE8, it could be also because of the Skin.

Are you able to help me to test, with the default DNN Skin for the events calendar page, to see if it displays the same in IE8?

I switched to the maxentropy skin and the calendar works fine in IE8. It also works fine in IE8 with the skin while using compatibility view. So it looks like it is an issue with the skin design.

Is there anything I should look for in the skin that would be causing the conflict? Is it possible to turn off the ajax and just have it display without the pop-up window?

Mark,

We need a while to check on the skin.

Meanwhile, Are you able to check with the Skin developer as well?

I have contacted the skin developer to see if they can track it from their end. Have you made any progress on your end?

The skin developer tracked down the issue. The use of the JDMenu was causing the issue. The skin was converted to use the solpart menu and the calendars work again. Thanks for you help.

That's a great news!

Hello I am trying to accomplish almost the same thing with the list calendar.I have two calendars of the same page. One as a list of upcoming events and the other a mini calendar. I am having issues with the display of the list calendar. When I am login as admin or host it I can see it but once I logout the event disapears on the list view. What am I doing wrong? My site is at 106.koonookle.com . Also I would like to turn on the sydication feature and have the RSS link at the top like http://scbar.euclidtechnology.com/ How can I do this because when I turn on the syndication on the module it does not show the icon or link? I am using DNN 4.9.5 ASP 2.0 Event Calendar and Registration 3.1.0. Thank you

AJ,

It sounds like you need to check the permissions on the list module.

For the RSS links on the home page those are not provided by the module. What I did was grab the rss feed link that is provided by the main event calendar. I then hardcoded that link in the module header template.

<div class="column" id="home-events">
<h3 id="home-events-title"><span class="rss-link"><a href="LINKtoyourcalendarfile.xml">RSS</a></span>EVENTS</h3>
<ul>

Thank you this helped and worked.

I have another issue related to this. I am trying to get the title and description on the same line and with a link <div class="ListContent"><a href="[DAYVIEWLINK]">[TITLE] : [DESCRIPTION]</a></div> but if I do this it places a break between the title and description right on top of of each other and I want them next to each other is there a way to prevent this. I seems like it being done on the http://scbar.euclidtechnology.com/ I tried checking the CSS and not luck and you help? Also is there a way for the RSS feed just to display the public event and not all the event that are only for member view?

Aj,

1. To display Title and Description at the same line, it is difficult because Description may contain html tags such as <p>, or <div>, those tags will always display at a new line if not controlled using CSS. Or maybe it is a good idea to change to another suitable layout?

2. For RSS, we can modify it so that only public events (allow anonymous users to view) to be displayed.
And add a different RSS link to the module to display all the events.

But currently you can have the RSS link display only one category of events.
