I found on the Zope-announce list the following reference to a product called beeCal http://www.zope.de/software/beeCal/index_eng_html
Yep, it's the BeeHive product I noticed a while back - and back then, as well as now, while the code is available, as well as documnetation (surprising) the site doesn't seem to be using its own product, or have a demo to see how it works.
I looked at the BeeHive product and it didn't doo at all what I expected or was looking for.
Seriously, don't the people who write these Products actually use them, or want people to see how they work?
I have been able to get the Calendar product that you are talking about to display a calendar, move back and forth between dates and be able to put text within all of the day blocks. What I have not been able to do is customize the calendar entries based on the specific blocks date or been able to create a usable link listed within the blocks. It looks like the valid methods are there, but I can not get any valid responses from them. I have tried to look at the code, but I am enough of a newbie with python/Zope that it has taken me more time than I can spend (if clients would only pay you to play!!!!!). if you find out anything more than I have, please share it with the rest of us.

yep, that's what seems to crystalize out. Hence why I think it would be beneficial for everyone if people writing products (particularly larger companies like BeeHive that tries to present themselves as the Euro-Zope-Hotshots) would actually display them in use.

Same here. I can display it, and modify the code to provide contents for the cells, but that's about it. The syntax 'claimed' to work in allowing customizations of color and display sinply does not work, and queries to the author go unanswered in that regard.

Yep, that's exactly my problem too. Thetag doesn't accept any of the attributes. I just wrote to tsarna@endicor.com again, and hopefully at one point this mistery will lift, and we get a working Calendar porduct ... pretty please. Harry
I figured out how to set the properties.. <!--#calendar mode=month bgcolor=e3e3e3--> <dtml-var "setCalendar('daynames','SMTWRFS')"> <dtml-if "mode=='month'"> <a href="<!--#var "linkDate(date)"-->"> <!--#var date fmt=dd--></a></font> <dtml-elif "mode=='day'"> <font size="+3"><b><!--#var date fmt=dd--></b></font> </dtml-if> <!--#/calendar--> But now I get the None in every cell. Argh!! I am going into the code to figure out what to do, and now the README makes sense.. Adonis On Fri, 19 Nov 1999, Harry wrote:

But now I get the None in every cell. Argh!!
The problem is that <dtml-var "setCalendar('daynames','SMTWRFS')"> should be changed to <dtml-call "setCalendar('daynames','SMTWRFS')"> dtml-var will return the results of the expression, which is "None" in this case. dml-call will suppress any results. Regards, Ben
