TEST RESULTS WITH MEMU Package:OK... I spent a few hours working with this mod in my MEMU project and there are a few problems I have not been able to solve... so I will put this aside for now to get on to other priorities for a while. I had experienced most of the same problems with it before in early 1.5.31 SU projects well, so they are calendar-script related. I thought it would be a good idea to list them here as a reference for anyone trying to make this work with the MEMU package. Some of these were already reported by Anders.
DOC TYPE BUGUsing the existing DOCTYPE string in cal/templates/default.php causes the template to lose its left-margin, shifting everything to the very edge of the screen. Replacing it with the DOCTYPE strings from the sNews index.php file restores the left-margin... but the calendar itself shrinks... distorted and quite small with the black background mostly exposed.
ADD EVENT LINK BUG ... <a href="javascript: postMessage()" title="Add Event">Add Event</a> ... - added under the "Files" panel link in
function administration() throws a "404" error and... though the prompt panel for creating adding an event pops up... it contains the template instead of the add event panel.
CALENDAR LINK NOT CURRENTThe Calendar link shows as current when using the cal_pages function... but "Home" shows as the current page-link when using the default_pages function (with Bram's switchable default pages mod). There should be a way to adjust that somehow.
CATEGORY LISTSMy MEMU package uses Philmoz's expandable category links mod... an absolute necessity for listing lots of article-links and page-links by category. There is a javascript conflict going on here.
CSS LINKING ISSUEThe MEMU package... as well as the MESU package... both use Bakercad's Template Switch mod, which keeps template folders (by name) in a root/templates directory. Each template folder contains its own files in more folders... css, images, and other template-specific scripts... as well as its own index.php (template) file. The calendar's template file - cal/templates/default.php (or other name) have the stylesheet link hard-coded... and it can only apply to one sNews template's stylesheet file. We can create more template files in the calendar's templates folder by name... but the only way to switch them is by changing a string in the cal/config.php file. To work with Bakercad's Template Switch mod... we'll need to devise a way of switching the calendar template file when the sNews template is switched from the Admin >> Settings >> Templates panel.
In general... I still like the phpEvent Calendar script. Mike1 has made some significant, positive changes to this version. It has great potential... and we should thank Mike1 for providing the "Recurring Events" mod as well. However... it still needs some work to get it functioning well enough (without bugs) for use in an actual online site. Keep refining this one Mike.
