Inserting full calendar in existing page

I'm including the mini calendar view with this:

$cal->display_month_mini();

So my existing site header is used. I like the full calendar display, with the day/month/year/events header, and little year calendar on the left.

Is there a way to generate the full thing using something like this?

$cal->display_full_thing();

Hi,

Not to display the whole site, no. You should be able to basically accomplish this by adding a site head / header / footer in Admin -> Site Settings.

Let me know if this will not work for you.

It does not work because of dynamic content in the <body> area before the calendar.

If it's PHP content, you may insert it between <?php ?> tags. Is it PHP content?

Yes it is PHP. I assumed that area only allowed HTML?

Hi,

PHP will work as well so that people may enter dynamic content.

It would work better to include a page header so site admins aren't required to maintain two different headers with the same content.

Hi,

I am becoming frustrated with this. Yes, I can enter PHP - great. The problem is that the PHP header on all other pages on my site is complex. It has include statemetns, uses sessions and is spread across several files. So basically, if I want to replicate the same header content on the rest of my site I am going to have to spend a day or two writing a duplicate header for this calendar. Any time I need to change anything it has to be done in two places - which defeats the purpose of server side scripting.

Please tell me there is a workaround. I've worked with this all day and am at my wits end.

Hi,

I'm sorry. Would this work?

I use sessions to manage user activity. when I include thyme like your example above, clicking any link destroys my session.. my site's user is logged out, and that is not acceptable.

Ahh.. I was not made aware that your session was started in your header. Would you mind sending me your header so that I may take a look please? ian@extroso... also include the URL to your Thyme installation please.
