===Create the base page===

===Download the following templates, and create them into your wiki===

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}}}}

−
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

−
{{: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.

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.

Architecture

  • Templates are in yellow.
  • The pages describing an event are in red. Their names must start with YYYY-MM-DD.
  • We use two edit helpers (in cyan) when event pages are created.
  • The entry page for the calendar (Current events) is in blue.
  • Categories are in green.

The design is as follows:

  1. The user calls the entry page("Current events"). Be careful if you change its name: The name of this page must be passed as an argument (named 'basepage') to the template 'Calendar month'.
  2. The basepage can be called by the user without any arguments. Then it uses a date function to calculate the current month. It can also be called from another calendar page - in which case the desired year & month are passed as parameters via the Call extension.
  3. Template 'Calendar month' ...
    • shows the calendar box. The calendar box contains links to the adjoining months. Days link to their event in the event list. You could change that to make the links point directrly to the event definitions.
    • uses a DPL query to find all articles in category 'Event' which belong to the selected year/month
    • shows the selected articles in a list, together with some selected chapters (like Participants ..) and with their categories
    • offers an edit box to create a new event (using the edit template "Event template")


Steps needed to install the DPL calendar

Install extensions

You need Download the following extensions:

  1. parserfunctions from MW
  2. inputbox from MW
  3. StringFunctions extension from MW
  4. DPL extension from this site.
  5. Call extension from this site (part of the above download).

Download the following templates, and create them into your wiki

Download from this wiki and create identical pages in your wiki:

Customizing

To customize the list of events that are displayed below each calendar, take a close look in the DPL manual at the include parameter and the format parameter. In our example in template Template:calendar month, we have: 

#Summary,#Participants,#Location

which means to take the content of Summary, Participants and Location sections.

You 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

Now we are going to include Current events which will give us the actual calendar right here: {{#vardefine:year|2024}}{{#vardefine:month|11}} {{#vardefine:width|}}{{#vardefine:noadd|}}{{#vardefine:nolink|}}{{#vardefine:purpose|}}{{#vardefine:show|}}{{#vardefine:namespace|}}

{{Calendar/MonthStartError: Invalid time.
[[Special:Call/:Current events,year=Error: Invalid time.,month=Error: Invalid time.,basepage=Current events,eventList=current,purpose={{#var:purpose}},nolink={{#var:nolink}},noadd={{#var:noadd}},show={{#var:show}},namespace={{#var:namespace}},width={{#var:width}}|<<]]

Error: Invalid time.
{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#replace:²²:Category:{{#var:purpose}}³³|¦|³³, ²²:Category:}}|²|[}}|³|]}}

[[Special:Call/:Current events,year=Error: Invalid time.,month=Error: Invalid time.,basepage=Current events,eventList=current,purpose={{#var:purpose}},nolink={{#var:nolink}},noadd={{#var:noadd}},show={{#var:show}},namespace={{#var:namespace}},width={{#var:width}}|>>]]
