Topic: Customizing

Hi, I hope this is the correct forum to ask customizing questions...

1.  I would like to remove the Red Shadow as the active text highlight and change it to a traditional color/font-size change, but am not sure where it is lurking in the code.

2.  I would like to make the event listings have curved edges like in the 3rd live calendar demo  (the German one, I can't link it)

3.  I would like to have a "Copied to Clipboard" prompt appear when clicking the thumbnails... (currently there is no indicator and it confuses new users)

NOTE:  the text in the add event form telling users that they can type the name of a thumbnail for it to appear is partially incorrect.  It works only for the default thumbnails.  Any user-added thumbnails get an invisible DB prefix added to their name which is only visible by the click-to-copy-paste-into-field method.  ...this confuses people as well, for typing the visible name will fail to attach the thumbnail.

THANKS!  I'll stop here so as not to overload on post smile

Re: Customizing

Hi Chris,
1. It's on line 73 of the file css/css.php. (a:hover {text-shadow:0.2em 0.3em 0.2em #F88;})
2. Which event listing? On what page? Huh, do we have a German event listing somewhere !?
3. Yeah, would be good. In the next LuxCal version there will be a "Copied to clipboard" prompt.
NOTE: I will think about this. We need the prefixes to avoid duplicate thumbnail image names.

Re: Customizing

Hi Roel, Thanks for Response!

“It's on line 73 of the file css/css.php”
Thank You, but Oddly it is on line 21 on my side… perhaps I have a different version?

“Which event listing? On what page? Huh, do we have a German event listing somewhere !?”
Yes, I was talking about this one, (this site says not to post URLs, so I did not,  but here it is)
calendarforum  (DOT) dk/live-calendar-3 (DOT) html
I like the round edges : )
I know how to make round buttons with a px radius, and even a left right gradient, but am not sure how to do it here… I see “evtTitle” at line 235, but am not sure how it is inheriting its color or a boarder.

“We need the prefixes to avoid duplicate thumbnail image names.”
I totally agree and understand.  I was just drawing attention to that text that tells users that they can write the file names, as it is only partially correct.  Since the DB prefix is invisible on all additional user added thumbs, simply writing the file name “as it appears” on new thumbs will fail.  Perhaps the prompt would be better telling them to use the click-to-copy-paste-into-field method only.

New Question:

I would like to remove the “previous Year” and “next Year” arrows.  IMO it is too easy for a user with big thumbs to unknowingly bump them and end up on a month with SEEMINGLY no events.  I see them on line 165 of the html… can I turn them into a comment on that line to disable them?

Many Thanks for Your Time!

Respectfully,

-Chris

Re: Customizing

Hi Chris,
Remove red shadow from links:
The line specifying "a:hover {text-shadow:0.2em 0.3em 0.2em #F88;}" cannot be line 21. I checked again and it actually is line 72 of the file css/css.php.

Curved edges:
I checked at "calendarforum", which is the website of my Danish friend who always helps testing new calendar versions, and saw no listing at all. Maybe you mean the round edges of the so called displays which you can see on the Demo -> Displays page of this site?

Thumbnails:
In the mean time I've added a notification "Copied to Clipboard" to the next LuxCal version, which will be released next month (March).

New Question:
If you want to get rid of the "Previous year" and "Next year" arrows, you should edit the file "views/month.php" and comment out (// at the start of the line) lines 84 and 85, starting with $arrowLL and $arrowRR respectively.
In the new Calendar version on narrow displays the "Previous Year" and "Next Year" arrows will will have  more distance to the inner arrows.
