Instructions
Create a new snippet named DittoCal. Copy the contents of snippet.dittocal.php into the snippet. Create a folder under assets/snippets named DittoCal. Upload the file JSON.php into the new directory. Create a new document with the following settings:
title: blog json output template: blank show in menu: no published: yes searchable: no content type: text/plain document content: !Ditto?startID=`yourblogfolder` &summarize=`100` &format=`json` &dateFormat=`%d-%m-%Y` &sortDir=`desc`!
This document is used to output your post data so that it can be read into the calendar. You should set the startId to your blog folder and set summarize to the max number of posts you expect to have. Leave everything else the same as above. Add the snippet call to the pages you want your calendar displayed on.
Example Snippet Call:
!DittoCal? &calSource=`http://www.muddydogpaws.com/blog_json_output` &dayNameLength=`1`!
Updates
Updates:- $calSource: The source can be now also a document-id, for a easier internal use
- $setLocal (Optional parameter): Added the php-func setlocale in the snippet, for non-english sites
- $dateSelection: (Optional parameter): Set a start-month for the calendar (with values of the php-func strtotime).
- $futureDate: (Optional parameter): Activate the link for a future date (next link) with a value (1/0).
- htmlspecialchars removed from nav links, because: When the global option "valid xhtml" is active, the link become a double ampersand -> example.html?cal_month=11&cal_year=2007
