adding a small monthly calendar

adding a small monthly calendar

I want to include a small calendar class ("calendar.php") to the course/view.php page so it appears in the right border, just above 'Latest News'. Would anyone know where in the PHP code I would include the code below?

<?php
include("calendar.php");

// Construct a calendar to show the current month
$cal = new Calendar;
echo $cal->getCurrentMonthView();
?>

Cheers.

That would be course/weeks.php and course/topics.php, towards the bottom. smile

If you look at my site:

http://fortlangley.net/moodle/

You will see a small Calendar which is available from "Codewalker"

It is very easy to use , has an admin in the lefthand corner.  You can add as many users to the admin you like

 The download page for codewalker is here:

Sorry for that, I updated last week and I knew I missed something but wasn't sure what. I have updated the page. the code below is what I used to insert the calendar.


// Print calendar

print_side_block_start( "Calendar", 210,"");
echo "";
include("../calendar/escalendar.php");
echo "";
print_side_block_end();

Locate this line of text " /// Print all the news items.", in the topics.php and weeks.php and paste the above code before it. This will give the box with title.

Then the calendar is from: http://calendar.esscripts.com

It is configurable but still is not clickable as far as moodle goes. But it gives the dislpay which is waht my students needed. If you have more questions feel free to ask...

I like this small calendar that fits in the current Moodle style.

question 1: Will a calendar with this look and feel become part of the Moodle core and also become part of the translations?

 

At our institute groups of students have to visit several Moodle courses. Therefor we will use hyperlinks in webCalendar to sent students on the right our and day to the right Moodles.
 http://webcalendar.sourceforge.net/  

But how can a student go back from a Moodle to webCalendar?

question 2: Can I give this small calendar a clickable hyperlink to go back to webCalender?
This should be in the style of the other hyperlinks, for example the Title of the Calender should get underlined during hoover over and activate the link if a student does a left-mouse-click?

This was a great post, and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks smile

One small suggestion that might help some people (like me). The way you have this set up, it will only use the default calendar configuration. If you would like to use one of the other calendar configurations, the include needs to be changed somewhat to:

include("http://www.yourdomain.com/moodle_dir/calendar/escalendar.php?uc=4");

A different attempt to use a config argument:

include("../calendar/escalendar.php?uc=4");

does not work because the include statement looks for a file named "escalendar.php?uc=4" which doesn't exist.

By making the include() a URL, you can then send arguments to the script, such as the "uc=4" (use configuration four) argument. My big reason for this was so that I could make the date background color the same as the Moodle theme I was using smile

The attached graphic shows this in context.

Moodle rocks...
