Calendar of Events

I'm new to Kentico, and am really liking it very much. I'm trying to set up a calendar of events for use on my site (I'm building it on my PC using the 30-day demo to make sure Kentico will meet all of my requirements).

I've got the CMSCalendar control showing up properly on my form, however I cannot get it to work properly with the dates when there is an event. I've read through the developers help file, and followed that exactly.

When I add the code to handle the days that have events (see below) i get an error:
_________________________________________________
<ItemTemplate>

 

<a href='<%# ResolveUrl("~" & Container.DataItem("AliasPath"))%>'>

<%# Container.DataItem("NewsTitle")%>

 

</a>

</ItemTemplate>

<NoEventsTemplate>

 

No Event

</NoEventsTemplate>
______________________________________________
Here is the Error Text:
______________________________________________
Compilation Error

Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\KenticoCMS2\calendar.aspx Line: 30

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: Calendar of Events

Hello,

thank you for your message. If you're using VB.NET, you may need to change the code like this:

<ItemTemplate>
 
<a href='<% ResolveUrl("~/." %><%# Container.DataItem("AliasPath"))%>'>
<%# Container.DataItem("NewsTitle")%>
 
</a>
</ItemTemplate>
<NoEventsTemplate>
 
No Event
</NoEventsTemplate>

Please let me know if it helps.

Best Regards,

Member

I copied and pasted your code into place and I got an error (see below):

Any other suggestions?

Guest	admin - 9/12/2006 4:11:51 PM Re: Calendar of Events I'm sorry for the typo. You need to modify the line like this: <a href='<% ResolveUrl("~/." %><%# Container.DataItem("AliasPath")%>'> - there's an extra ) character. Regards,


Guest	admin - 9/12/2006 4:12:22 PM Re: Calendar of Events Sorry, like this: <a href='<% ResolveUrl("~/.") %><%# Container.DataItem("AliasPath")%>'>

Re: Calendar of Events

Finally got this working. Here's the code that we ened up with to make ti work:
____________________
<ItemTemplate>
 
<a href='<% ResolveUrl("~/.") %><%# Container.DataItem("AliasPath")%>.aspx'>
<%# Container.DataItem("Title")%>
 
</a>
</ItemTemplate>

One more question on this. I would like to use the mini calendar in the corner of a page. I don't need (or want) it to display the event title in the calendar. I'd like for it to simply turn the day on the calendar into a link, that when clicked on, it will take you to a page that will show all of the events on that day. Obviously, I'll need to build my transformation for that, but how would I structure the <ItemTemplate> section to handle this?

Thanks for your help.


Guest	admin - 9/25/2006 6:18:48 PM Re: Calendar of Events Hello, you need to use an empty transformation only and set the DayWithEventsStyle property to the style you want to use. Best Regards,


Member	kmgillen - 9/25/2006 9:40:45 PM Re: Calendar of Events Peter, Thanks for the feedback. Using the CMSCalendar control, there is no DayWithEventsStyle for me to modify. The only things available are DayHeaderStyle, DayStyle, NextPrevStyle, OtherMonthDayStyle, SelectedDayStyle, SelectorStyle, TitleStyle, TodayDayStyle, WeekendDayStyle. What am I missing?


Guest	admin - 9/26/2006 9:00:44 PM Re: Calendar of Events Hello, you need to do this in the code behind, in the Page_Load method. Here's an example: Dim style As TableItemStyle = New TableItemStyle style.BackColor = Color.Blue CMSCalendar1.DayWithEventsStyle = style Best Regards,
