Anyone download the new Web Calendar yet?


http://www.coffeecup.com/web-calendar/

I did but I haven't installed it yet. I'm sitting in Pensacola airport waiting to take off for a flight that's been delayed to Atlanta due to the storms there. Sooo I'll utilize their Wi-Fi and check forums I guess lol. I do plan to install it on this little notebook though. Can't wait... maybe I'll do that while I'm sitting here lol.

I am about to do that... look forward to trying it out.

I did and now the calendar will not load it just says on the html page, "Error, content did not load." where the calendar should be.

Did you export the calendar you created? I assume you mean the html page that was created by the Calendar App.

Or have you inserted the code onto a different html page? In that case make sure you add the code to the right place, and that you save the html page so that the path to the folder with the files remains correct.

Yeah, just a little more info if you can please. I am sure we can figure it out.

I have a pre-emptive question here . . .

If I install version 5 in a different folder than the previous version I have 4.2 . . . does this mean that I can have both versions working . . .and not interfering with one another . . .

I want to implement v5 on my site but i want to have my bases covered in case there are some technical difficulties . . . and therefore if i have to . . . i can revert back to the v4.2 temporarily . . .


Also, if i already have a lytebox script on my page already, will the calendar's similar feature interfere with it?! . . . i dont see why it would other than if it is meant to only be used once per page?!?!? just wondering . . . I guess i'll find out soon enough tho. . .


Thanks, comments appreciated

It will automatically install into a different folder, so you don't need to. We did that so you can have the Flash and HTML version running at the same time.

The HTML colorbox should not interfere with an existing one on your website.

Howdy-
I downloaded and played with the new version and it's an impressive start. I particularly like the fact that when you click on an event the colorbox pops up and the user can actually read the data about the event. The previous version's font size was so small as to render the calendar almost useless without a magnifier. Also, adding events and their data was much improved.

Now for a couple of design things I'm not crazy about. I have different calendars setup for different websites. It appears if I change the theme on Website A that the program also changes it for Website B, Website C etc. In other words, I can't have a different theme setup for each Website's calendar. I suppose I can change the theme, export the files, and upload the result, and then repeat the process changing the theme for each website --- but that requires me to remember to do that each time and is additional/needless work for the user (me). Each calendar should remember what its assigned theme is in its properties setup.

The second thing I found as a design problem was how the program handles the date/time in 2 places.

First, in the colorbox popup I thought it was strange that if, like most real-life events, an event occurs on one day, say from 7-9 pm it lists the data like this: From: 10/28/2010 7:00 p.m. To: 10/28/2010 11:00 p.m. --- the date is redundant

If an event is on the same day (dinner, meeting, etc.) this makes much more sense (at least to me, maybe it's different world-wide):
10/28/2010 From: 7:00 p.m. To: 11:00 p.m.

The second oddity was how an event is displayed on a calendar itself. It leads with the time rather than the event itself. Since only a little bit of text can appear on the calendar date, it is more pertinent to list the events first. "Was the meeting/anniversary/dinner Wednesday or Friday?" That is what calendar watchers are looking for first, not necessarily the time unless they are interested in an event itself.

Overall this is a 150% improvement over the flash calendar so way to go cuppies.

I have installed it and am at a complete loss to get it working correctly or even understand what it's trying to do.

I created a new calendar from scratch and uploaded it to my site. The test html page it uploads works fine but when I use the code the sotware privides for inserting it into my own webpage it does not function properly.

When I compare the coding the two are different. Your calendar.html pages gives me..

<script src="calendar/javascript/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<link media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="calendar/stylesheets/colorbox.css" />
<link media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="calendar/stylesheets/monthstyles.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="calendar/javascript/jquery.colorbox-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="calendar/javascript/behavior.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="calendar/javascript/jquery.text-overflow.min.js"></script>

in between the <head> </head> tags

Whilst the copy & paste code gives me...

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="calendar/stylesheets/colorbox.css" />
<link media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="calendar/stylesheets/monthstyles.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="calendar/javascript/jquery.colorbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="calendar/javascript/behavior.js"></script>

to put in between <head> </head> tags

My version of the page displays the calendar but does not display the information when I click on an event.

Any idea what is wrong?
