Customization questions

Some questions (--Eiland 15:44, 13 April 2007 (CEST)):

  1. I want the date syntax to be 2007-04-05 whatever event, so dashes instead of slashes; where do I modify this template?
  2. Is it possible to make a template for upcoming events? So for example the 10 next upcoming events? Or the ten next days?
    • Next ten days should be easy, as dpl can take several arguments for "titlematch". Create a template with the following code, and insert it in a page (you may change the "order" method at the last line, depending on how you want to see things):
{{#dpl:category=Events
  |titlematch={{#time:Y/m/d | +1 days}}%¦{{#time:Y/m/d | +2 days}}%
  |include=#Summary,#Participants
  |mode=userformat
  |resultsheader=There are %PAGES% events planned in the next 2 days.
  |noresultsheader=No events planned so far for the next 2 days.
  |listseparators=¶{¦ class="wikitable" ¶!Date / Event name ¶!Categories ¶!Event summary ¶!Participants,¶¦-¶¦<h5>[[%PAGE%]]</h5>¶¦ %CATLIST%,,¶¦}
  |secseparators=¶¦
  |ordermethod=title
  |addcategories=true
  |order=descending
}}

  • Yep, thats it. Had some difficulty, before I remembered to replace the Y/m/d by Y-m-d's --Eiland 12:33, 17 April 2007 (CEST)
  • hm, can the output-number ber restricted? say I want to see max. 10 events? --212.204.157.222 23:29, 13 August 2007 (CEST)
use count=10. Gero 17:40, 26 August 2007 (CEST)
  1. Can these events be imported/RSSFeed' anywhere (maybe this is a DPL function?)
  2. On the monthly calendar layout, the date of the month could have __<<__ april __>>__-links for moving to the previous/next month.
  • Not sure what you mean here, there is already a a link on both sides of the month name to go to the previous/next one? --Ycombarnous 19:38, 16 April 2007 (CEST)
  • Ah, interesting, you're right. I don't have that. Is it another template? or is it the #ifexist phrase in Template:CalendarSingle? --12:33, 17 April 2007 (CEST)
  • When you call the "CalendarSingle" template, you have to specify the "basepage" name. Below is the code it will use to find if there is a previous month page existing (basically, if current calendar month is May, it will look for "Basepage April 2007" article, and add a "previous" link if it exists): 
{{#ifexist: {{{basepage}}} {{#time:F Y|{{{year}}}-{{{month}}}-03 -1 month}}|[[{{{basepage}}} {{#time:F Y|{{{year}}}-{{{month}}}-03 -1 month}}|<<]]|}}
--Ycombarnous 12:43, 17 April 2007 (CEST)
  • Is it possible that, when it not exist, it creates a new age, just like the new-event-form, according to a Template:Month? That would save me from copying-in all the months myself --Eiland 18:57, 17 April 2007 (CEST)
See Template_talk:CalendarSingle, which is getting there.

backlink

Maybe the individual event pages should contain a back-link to the calendar page? --Gero 07:01, 16 April 2007 (CEST)

Or a little calendar on each page? Tobias Conradi 19:04, 10 August 2007 (CEST)

publishing the calendar templates

  • Did you ever think of publishing these templates under wiki extensions "calendar" ?

--Gero 17:37, 16 April 2007 (CEST)

  • Yes, I thought of that place. Your calender solution competes very well with the other extensions around, I think. -- 84.58.213.243 20:50, 16 April 2007 (CEST)


The User:Hex2bit/Calendar may be a good choose

I would like to use User:Hex2bit/Calendar because it can creates calendar for each member using the wiki, but it cann't create a page with a title using the format like "03-01-2007". So anyone have ideas to solve the problem.

ISO 8601 conformance

Can the examples be changed to be ISO 8601 comform? [1] If it is ok, I would do the work. Tobias Conradi 18:58, 10 August 2007 (CEST)

I was not able to create support of old and new format Tobias Conradi 02:57, 11 August 2007 (CEST)

ParserFunctions/Expr.php errors

  • MediaWiki: 1.9.1
  • PHP: 5.1.2-Debian-0.1~sarge1 (apache2handler)
  • MySQL: 5.0.20-Debian_1-log

ctype_alpha

function ctype_alpha not available, had to add the following to Expr.php 

if ( !function_exists('ctype_alpha') ) {
   function ctype_alpha($string) {
       //if ( !preg_match('|[^\pL]|', $string) )
       /* Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: PCRE does not support 
       \L, \l, \N, \P, \p, \U, \u, or \X at offset 3 in

       */
       /* alternative: */ // 
       if ( !preg_match('|[^A-Za-z]|', $string) )
           return true;
       else
           return false;
   }
}

  • I've installed all the templates as per installation instructions.
  • I installed "Call", "InputBox", "Parser Functions", "DPL", and the 'kitchen sink' !!
  • I'm using Mediawiki 1.11.0 on SuSe 19.1 Linux, PHP: 5.1.2, MySQL: 5.0.18-Max.
  • When I get to the part where I must add the relevant "calendar month|year=2007|month=09|basepage=Current events September 2007" to the Page "Current events September 2007", and then Preview, I get a blank screen.
  • I can browse my other WikiPages but cannot get the Calendar or DPL table to show up.
  • Is there an 'easy' way to test DPL ?

Any idea where I may have gone wrong ?? --Zs6ro 23:22, 27 September 2007 (CEST)
