Add calendar to a CMSimple page
Create a page containing the calendar. The calendar is displayed where you put the code below.
Code:
#cmsimple $output.=calendar('','','somepage')#
somepage can be omitted if set in Plug-in Language: ['event_page'] = somepage (somepage = name of your own choice)
This will display current month and year and link events to eventspage called somepage
The code below will display current month and next month
Code:
#cmsimple $output.=calendar('','','somepage'); $output.=calendar(date("Y",time()),date("n",time())+1,'somepage');#
Code:
#cmsimple
$output.=calendar('2008',4'','somepage')#
This will display the calendar for April 2008 and links events to somepage
To display the Calendar in the
Template you put in this code:
<?php echo calendar("","","somepage"); ?> or
<?php echo calendar("2008","4","somepage"); ?>
somepage can be omitted if set in Plug-in Language: ['event_page'] = somepage (somepage = name of your own choice)
Add events page
Create a page called e.g..
somepage on the page add the code below.
somepage is the page you have set in Plug-in Language: ['event_page'] = somepage or referring to in your Calendar Setup.
Code
#cmsimple $output.=events();#
This will display events for current year and month.
The code below will display events for current month plus next two months
Code
<H1>somepage</H1>
#cmsimple $output.=events();
$output.=events(date("Y",time()),date("n",time())+1);
$output.=events(date("Y",time()),date("n",time())+2);#
If you want to display the events from the month you select in the calendar use this code, also the selected month + 2 months (maybe you should edit the content file directly to make this work properly).
Code
<H1>somepage</H1>
#cmsimple if($year=='')$year = date("Y",time());
if($month=='')$month = date("n",time());
$output.=events($year,$month);
if($month=='12'){$year++;$month=1;}else{$month++;}$output.=events($year,$month);
if($month=='12'){$year++;$month=1;}else{$month++;}$output.=events($year,$month);#
Code
<H1>somepage</H1>
#cmsimple $output.=events();# This will display the events for current Year and
Month
#cmsimple $output.=events(’’,’’,’12’);# This will display the events from
current month, Year and next 12 month.
#cmsimple $output.=events(’1’,’2008’,’’);# This will display the events for
January 2008
To display the Next
Coming Event in the Template you put in this code:
<?php echo nextevent(); ?>
Editing Your Eventfile
Your Eventfile can be edited either by the Plugin manager og by a CMSimple page.

Editing Events in a CMSimple page
On your Edit Events page you add the following code:
(Edit Events = pagename of your own choice)
