| − | ==Installation==
| |
| − | This is a calendaring application based on DPL functionality. It is very flexible because it is based on templates which you can modify and adapt to your needs.

| |
| − | * Templates are in yellow.
| |
| − | * The pages describing an event are in red
| |
| − | * We use an edit template (in lightred) when event pages are created
| |
| − | * The pages which provide access to the calendar are in blue. You must adapt them to your needs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The design is as follows:
| |
| − | # The user calls the entry page (e.g. "Current events"). We call this page the ''basepage'' and you can choose its name freely. But be careful: The basepage name appears inside the month-related calendar articles. You must change the name there as well if you choose another name.
| |
| − | # The basepage uses a date function to calculate the current month and then calls the calendar page for that month.
| |
| − | # The calendar page for the selected month calls a standard template ("Calendar month") which
| |
| − | #* shows the calendar box
| |
| − | #* finds all events of the current month and shows them
| |
| − | #* offers an edit box to create a new event (using the edit template "Event template")
| |
| − | The calendar box contains links to its neighboring months. Days link to their event in the list. You could easily change that to make the links point directrly to the event definitions.

| − | == Steps needed to install the DPL calendar ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===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|basepage=your base page name}}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | This is the template that calculates the parameter for each day for above template (based on DPL):
| |
| − | *[[Template:Calendar link]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The next templates are not mandatory, they were designed to ease the creation of an event, although this can be done by other means:
| |
| − | *[[Event template]]
| |
| − | *[[Template:Event]] (used by 'Event Template')
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Download additional extensions===
| |
| − | Download the following extensions:
| |
| − | #[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions parserfunctions] from MW
| |
| − | #[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Inputbox inputbox] from MW
| |
| − | #[[DPL:Manual - Source_and Installation|DPL extension]] from this site.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Create the base page===
| |
| − | 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>
| |
| − | The name of your basepage is important as it must be used as aprefix for each month´s calendar page later. Our base page is named "Test calendar" and as you see its only purpose is to call the specific page for the current month. If you call your basepage 'Current events' then the above example has to changed to
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | __NOTOC__
| |
| − | {{:Current events {{#time: F Y}}}}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Create a page for each month===
| |
| − | Finally, create one page per month with the format "basepage Month year" (example: "Current events April 2007"), insert below code and make sure to replace:
| |
| − | #YYYY by the year (ex: 2007)
| |
| − | #mm by the month (ex:06)
| |
| − | #pageXYZ by the base page name (example: "Current events")
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {{calendar month|year=YYYY|month=mm|basepage=pageXYZ}}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Note: In this wiki we use "Test calendar" as basepage, so the articles are called "Test calendar September 2007" and so on.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | === 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 [[Template:calendar month]] template.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | To customize the list of events that are displayed below each calendar, take a close look in the DPL manual at the '''include''' parameter ([[include|see here]]). In our example in template [[Template:calendar 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==
| |
| − | {{:Current events {{#time: F Y}}}}
