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

This template calls the proper template above, with a parameter input for each day:

• Template:CalendarSingle

Finally 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 "parserfunctions" and "inputbox" extensiosn from mediawiki website. Download 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:

{{:Test calendar {{#time: F Y}}}}

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:

1. "2007/04" below by the month and year from the current page name
2. replace the year and month parameters from CalendarSingle template call (here they are set at year=2007|month=04)
3. also replace in the CalendarSingle template call the basepage parameter (example: "Current events")

__NOTOC__
{|
|<inputbox>
  type=create
  buttonlabel=create new Event
  width=25
  default=2007/04/05 my event name
  preload=Event template
  break=no
</inputbox>
|}

{{CalendarSingle|year=2007|month=04|show_year=yes|basepage=Current events}}

{{#dpl:category=Events
  |titlematch=2007/04%
  |include=#Summary,#Participants
  |mode=userformat
  |resultsheader=There are %PAGES% events planned this month.
  |noresultsheader=No events planned so far for this month.
  |listseparators=¶{¦ class="wikitable" ¶!Date / Event name ¶!Categories ¶!Event summary ¶!Participants,¶¦-¶¦<h5>[[%PAGE%]]</h5>¶¦ %CATLIST%,,¶¦}
  |secseparators=¶¦
  |ordermethod=title
  |addcategories=true
  |order=descending
}}

To create a custom event, edit the template Event template, and edit the above DPL.
