Thanks for the information

No worries man, you're making an amazing system!

Can I make a suggestion too, when you have like list enabled, get the calendar javascript inclusion to disable.

Dunno if this is really a bug as such, but it also conflicts with imagebrowser.

Keep up the awesome work man, this is something I will definately be using.. well done, congrats, bravo!

Hello!
first of all thanks for this great components!
i'm testing the com/mod in joomla 1.5 stable and i found that:

1. When blog calendar module is pubblished, in the frontend the tooltip "edit article" doesn't work.

2. always from the frontend, with blog calendar module pubblished, the page to submit an article doesn't work!
the editor works but the joomla images manager doesn't work and the pagebreak too!

Thanks for reporting those errors, it was a bug in the javacript files. I fixed it on the release 1.2.4.

I also added a few things on that release:

• Option to display the calendar on a specific date instead of the current date
• Option to use the default article view of the site instead of the component article listing. This will make the article list look like the rest of the site. Here is an example of this option using the 68portal template:
  Copy view disabled:
  
  Copy view enabled:
  

I'm working on a template system for the calendar, instead of the current system of changing the CSS wich is a bit complicated for a normal user. I'll also create a few templates and write documentation on how to create them (indicating the css classes used by the calendar, etc).

very cool

other thing:
in the previous version i tried to override the component layout through the template but was not possibile.

thanks for you work!

I'm not sure if the following bug belongs here, but after installing the com and mod everything seems to work fine except for editing the css file: if I click the com link the following appears:
"
JFile::read: Unable to open file: '/share/MD0_DATA/Qweb/Joomla\modules\mod_blog_calendar\tmpl\calStyle.css'
"

Consequently, I cannot change the style and even editing the css file directly doesn't produce any changes.

I'm using the Joomlabear Transparant Bliss 2.0 template in conjunction with !JoomlaComment 3.20RC2-c

[gborislav]

Same error appear to me too.How to fix?

[aswanwick]

Consequently, I cannot change the style and even editing the css file directly doesn't produce any changes.

First problem is because of the forward/backward slash issues, component version 1.2.5 . Second one is due to uppercase problem. It is obvious Justo used Windows platform for the development where both do not matter, but not the case on Linux server. Here is what to do:

1. Download BlogCalendar_component.zip and BlogCalendar_module.zip and unpack them.
2. Edit both BlogCalendar_component\controller.php and BlogCalendar_component\admin\controller.php
find ALL: '\modules\mod_blog_calendar\tmpl\calStyle.css'
replace with: DS .'modules'.DS.'mod_blog_calendar'.DS.'tmpl'.DS.'calStyle.css'
3. Edit BlogCalendar_module\tmpl\default.php
find: <link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/mod_blog_calendar/tmpl/calstyle.css" type="text/css">
replace with: <link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/mod_blog_calendar/tmpl/calStyle.css" type="text/css">
4. ZIP it and upload to Joomla

Thanks, that sounds like sound advice. I'll post back whether it works or no.

hi there ! - how to make the module show the month of the latest news entry ?
on my site i have news nearly every day - but the calender-module stays on April, 25th.... but its june now

my site is in german, joomla 1.5.3 -

[userccs]

First of all Many thanks for this neat feature. Great work!

I just need to ask a question to see if this is a default by design or there is something i am missing. I have installed this com and mod fine no problems, i have set the calendar to only show in articles from a specific section and category, and this shows fine. On my Menu Assign i have only selected 1 menu, that's fine.

The issues i have is on my calendar is shows articles with dates assigned, as it should, when i click on a date it will bring up the article but no calendar next to the article, If Assign the menu to show on all then it the calendar shows with the article.. Any suggestion where i can assure that the calender will show next to the article if selected from the calendar.

thanks

[mcsmom]

This is a general problem with Joomla when there is a drill down.

[userccs]

Is there anyway to over come this problem.

[mcsmom]

Would you please start a thread on that in the general support forum? This thread is really just about this GHOP project.

[tehnz]

tried to search for this Blog Calendar on the Joomla extension site. No luck. Could someone please post a link for me for this component and module.
This looks like the extension that I need.
Cheers
