Hello.

I wonder if it is possible to put a .gif (or .jpg) on both sides of the calendars name? What I woukd like is like I have it on me free hosted calendar wich I'm dropping very soon.
Link to the calendar incl. the two "wanted" .gif (the two animated emblems beside the calenar name) http://my.calendars.net/citroenkalendar

Link to the calendar I would like to put up the same .gifs: http://www.lhm-kaffe.com/citroenkalenderen/index.php

it would be great if there is a way to do this. I have failed doing it my self, need more competent help. Embarassed

Hi,

To do this you would have to create your own theme. Documentation for creating a theme can be found here

Let me know if you have any questions.

Yes, but I have done that. Well, not created my own theme, but done as told in instruction about copying default theme, naming it custom and then used my own colors etc.

Hi,

Edit themes/custom/functions.php and around line 13, add your gifs to:

echo("<h3 class=header>".$_cur_cal['title'] ."</h3>");

as in something like

echo("<h3 class=header><img src='images/something.gif'>".$_cur_cal['title'] ."</h3>");

OK, did as you told me. At least I think I did exactly that. Only a red cross is showing (left og calendars name).

I have checked that the gif is uploaded and ok, it shows up when pointing directly to it.

Hi,

src='images/something.gif' was just an example. In your case it looks like you'll want to use

src='/images/mini_chevron.gif' (note the / before images)

Even I understood that the name you typed in was just an example. Very Happy

I had of course used my own name of the gif.

But what I not had was

It's very clear that I not know a thing about this kind of coding: No matter what I try I get an database error when putting in the snip in order to have the same gif to the right of calendar name.

If you are so kind to guide me here as well I actually think I declare my calendar "ready". Wink

No......I'm not able to fix this issue by myself. Sad

Not can I insert the .gif in a way that makes it appear at the right side of calendars name as well - nor arrange it to get a little space between the .gif's and calendars name.

Suppose it is easy and self-explaining, but I'm blinded......or incompetent.

Please, any suggestion from someone out there?

Hi,

You should be able to use:

echo("<h3 class=header><img src='/images/mini_chevron.gif'>".$_cur_cal['title'] ."<img src='/images/mini_chevron.gif'></h3>");

What happens if you do that?

Try adding   which is the code for a space.
I think you can add it right after the mini_chevron.gif"> and then again before <img src="...
