That is really cool, but the example: <!--#calendar [args]--> template code <!--#/calendar-->

hmmm... what do I do with the template code part?

Thanks

In the archives http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-September/010057.html you can find this explanation: The DTML within the calander tag is called for every cell that is rendered, be it in day, week or month mode. The tag supplies you with methods and variables to find out what mode you are in, what cell (what date, week or month), and to influence the rendering of that particular cell, or the rendering of the whole calendar. (his english is better than mine) For instance: <dtml-calendar> <dtml-var date fmt=day> </dtml-calendar> renders a simple month calendar. You can find lots of examples in the archives since the calendar tag was released in February (I will look at them carefully ASAP). Look also "http://www.endicor.com/zope/test/Calendar" for a simple demo. David

I have worked extensively with this tag.. Production site I designed is online and has this calendar of events http://www.aley.net/Ar/events/ This is the source.. It has some arabic text (sorry) but it will help you get the idea behind what I have setup.. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ZToday', ZopeTime())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ZMonth', ZToday.mm())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ZYear', ZToday.year())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ZDay', ZToday.dd())"><p> <center> <!--#calendar date=ZToday mode=month bgcolor=e3e3e3 --> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Today', date)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', Today.mm())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Year',Today.year())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Day', Today.dd())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('dash', ' ')"> <dtml-if "_.int(Month)== 1"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', ' ')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 2"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', '')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 3"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', '')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 4"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', '')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 5"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', '')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 6"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', '')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 7"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', '')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 8"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', '')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 9"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', '')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 10"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', ' ')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 11"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', ' ')"><dtml-elif "_.int(Month)== 12"><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', ' ')"></dtml-if> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ar_Month',_.str(Month) + _.str(dash) + _.str(Year))"> <!-- Set the right top cell--> <dtml-call "setCalendar('left',ar_Month)"> <dtml-call "setCalendar('middle','<font color=ffffff><b>Aley.net</b></font>')"> <!-- Set the letters for the day of the week --> <dtml-call "setCalendar('daynames','SMTWRFS')"> <!-- Set the background color of the top cells --> <dtml-call "setCalendar('leftbgcolor',main_color)"> <dtml-call "setCalendar('middlebgcolor',main_color)"> <dtml-call "setCalendar('rightbgcolor',main_color)"> <!-- Set the cell spacing and padding of a cell --> <dtml-call "setCalendar('padding','5')"> <dtml-call "setCalendar('spacing','0')"> <dtml-if "mode=='month'"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Month', date.mm())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Year', date.year())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Day',date.dd())"> <dtml-comment><a href="<!--#var "linkDate(date)"-->"><!--#var date fmt=dd--></a></dtml-comment> <font color=ff0000><b><!--#var date fmt=dd--></b></font> <hr align=right width=70> <a href="http://www.aley.net/Ar/goingout/Cinemas"><font size=-1></font></a><br> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"> <dtml-if "id == _.str(Year)"> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"> <dtml-if "id == _.str(Month)"> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"> <dtml-if "id == _.str(Day)"> <dtml-if "objectValues(['DTML Document'])"> <dtml-in "objectValues(['DTML Document'])"> <a href="/Ar/events/&dtml-Year;/&dtml-Month;/&dtml-Day;/&dtml-id;"> <font size=-1><dtml-var title><br></font></a> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> <!--#/calendar--></center> On Mon, 20 Dec 1999, Iba�ez Palomar Juan David wrote:

so where exactly does the <dtml-calendar> tag come from? my zope server doesn't recognize it: Unexpected tag, for tag <dtml-calendar>, on line 4 of calendar

Download (from http://www.zope.org/Members/jdavid/Calendar) and install it, just as a product.
