==Installation==
 
This is a calendaring application based on DPL functionality.
 
 
 
How to use it for your websites:
 
===Download the following templates, and create them into your wiki===
 
 
 
These templates are needed to know how to display properly the month calendar. Months are categorized by the day of the week of the first day:
 
*[[Template:Calendar/MonthStartMon]] // all months that start on a Monday
 
*[[Template:Calendar/MonthStartTue]] // etc...
 
*[[Template:Calendar/MonthStartWed]]
 
*[[Template:Calendar/MonthStartThu]]
 
*[[Template:Calendar/MonthStartFri]]
 
*[[Template:Calendar/MonthStartSat]]
 
*[[Template:Calendar/MonthStartSun]]
 
*[[Template:!]] //a template used for special for cell separation
 
 
 
This template calls the proper template above, with a parameter input for each day:
 
*[[Template:CalendarSingle]]
 
 
 
===Download the following templates, and customize them===
 
 
 
This is the template that needs to be called to create each month's page: [[Template:calendar month]]. Call it this way:
 
<pre>
 
{{calendar month|year=YYYY|month=MM}}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
 
 
This is the template that calculates the parameter for each day for above template (based on DPL):
 
*[[Template:Calendar link]]
 
 
 
This template is not mandatory, it is designed to ease the creation of an event, although it can be done by other means:
 
*[[Event template]]
 
 
 
===Download additional extensions===
 
Download [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions parserfunctions] and "[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Inputbox inputbox]" extensions from the mediawiki website. Download [[Manual - Source_and Installation|DPL extension]] from this site.
 
 
 
===Create a page for each month===
 
Now, create the base page where the current month calendar will be created (like "Current events"), and insert below code in it:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
__NOTOC__
 
{{:Test calendar {{#time: F Y}}}}
 
</pre>
 
Finally, create one page per month with the format "base page Month year" (example: "Current events April 2007"), insert below code and make sure to replace:
 
#"2007/04" below by the month and year from the current page name
 
#replace the year and month parameters from CalendarSingle template call (here they are set at year=2007|month=04)
 
#also replace in the CalendarSingle template call the basepage parameter (example: "Current events")
 
<pre>
 
 
 
</pre>
 
 
 
To create a custom event, edit the template [[Event template]], and edit the above DPL.
 
=== Customizing the event pages and event presentation===
 
To customize the type of page the calendar application needs to look for, just modify the "titlematch" parameter in the [[Template:Calendar link]] template, as well as in the DPL in the above "[[#Create_a_page_for_each_month|Create a page for each month]]" section.
 
 
 
 
 
To customize the list of events that are displayed below each calendar, take a close look in the DPL manual at the include parameter ([[Manual_-_DPL_parameters:_Controlling_output_volume#include|see here]]). In our example in section "[[#Create_a_page_for_each_month|Create a page for each month]]", we have:
 
<pre>
 
#Summary,#Participants
 
</pre>
 
which means take the content of summary and participants sections.
 
 
 
We could modify the name of sections, the number of sections or even take the parameters of a template inside the event page. Again, see the DPL manual.
 
==Demo==
 
{{:Test calendar {{#time: F Y}}}}
