Demo Info box

Tedmiller · Joined: 14 Apr 2006 Posts: 98

Following the Modules documentation, I tried creating an info box like the one in your Demo. When I couldn't get it to appear in the calendar's Nav Bar, I resorted to copying your Demo Info -- but it still won't appear (I did enable it). Can you please look at my code and tell me what I did wrong? Or is there a setting in the CSS file that needs to be changed to allow it to appear?

INFO_TEXT.PHP CODE (this should look awfully familiar):

'>
'>
">

I can't see the code, but did you enable it in Admin -> Default Options or in your options?

Yes I did. Sorry, let me try this again and disable the HTML code in the post this time. As you'll see (hopefully), all I did was change the text in the center of the Demo Info box and change references to "demo_info" in the register_module code.

info_box code:

'>
'>
">

Nope. Still didn't work. Here is the link to the code:

If you are using the default example, in register_module.php, change the 'include' part to 'navbar'. If that does not work, please paste the contents of your resgister_module.php without the <?php parts please.

Phew... I did have it set for navbar. Let's try this again without php... and to be doubly sure, I replaced the HTML karats with (( and ))

register_module:

global $_cal_modules;

# register our module name
###########################

$_cal_modules['info_box']['display_name'] = 'Info Box';
$_cal_modules['info_box']['parents'] = array('navbar');
$_cal_modules['info_box']['include'] = 'info_box/info_box.php';
$_cal_modules['info_box']['priority'] = 100;

info_box:

/* vim: set expandtab tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4: */

Set this line:

$_cal_modules['info_box']['include'] = 'info_box/info_box.php';

to

$_cal_modules['info_box']['navbar'] = 'info_box/info_box.php';

Yeah, that worked.
