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?
   • In Current events April 2007 replace the / by - in default=2007-04-05 my event name and titlematch=2007-04%
   • In Template:Calendar link |titlematch={{{year}}}/{{{month}}}/{{{day}}}% into |titlematch={{{year}}}-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}%
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)

3. Can these events be imported/RSSFeed' anywhere (maybe this is a DPL function?)
4. 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}}|<<]]|}}

• 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)

backlink

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

• I added them in Extension:Calendar. Do you think that's the right place? --Ycombarnous 17:56, 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)
