Hey, i'm very new to cl and i'm going through the documentation.
I really really like it, but i'm stuck at something very simple!!
I'm going through the simple blog tutorial and i can't figure out how to spit out a simple calendar (or any other class for that matter) into my blogview.php page.
Code for blog.php is:
Code:
<?php
class Blog extends Controller {
function index()
{
$this->output->cache(60);
$data['todo_list'] = array('Clean House', 'Call Mom', 'Run Errands');
$data['title'] = "My Real Title";
$data['heading'] = "My Real Heading";
$this->load->view('blogview', $data);
$this->load->library('calendar');
}
}
?>
And my blogview.php is
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $heading;?></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><?php echo $heading;?></h1>
<h3>My Todo List</h3>
<ul>
<?php foreach($todo_list as $item):?>
<li><?php echo $item;?></li>
<?php endforeach;?>
</ul>
<?php echo $this->calendar->generate(); ?>
</body>
</html>
How do i spit out the calendar to the page?

Your view acts as a return statement. Place
$this->load->library('calendar');
above the view load->view function and it should work.

Yeh, that worked. Thankyou

Hi,
I was looking for kind of the same information.
My problem is that the calendar is loaded in first in the view, meaning it appears top of page.
What I do to place it where I want is that I use the personalisation of the calendar template to add <div> settings in the template, so that to calendar is displayer where I want in my view.
$prefs['template'] = '{table_open}<div STYLE="border-style:hidden; position: absolute;top:50px;left:100px"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">{/table_open}.....'
It works but the HTML code source of the generate view (the webpage) is awfull as the calendar is generated before the <head> and <body>....
What is the clean way to do this ? how do you manage to insert the calendar in the right place of the view ?
thxs.
olivier.

You are possible using the generate function in the controller instead of the view. You could also generate it and put it in a variable and then give it to view, instead of echo'ing in your controller, which is not really the way to go. It's all up to you.

Hi
Yes i was calling
Code:
$this->calendar->generate($this->uri->segment(3), $this->uri->segment(4), $data);
from the controller.
I tried in the view but it does not work... Are you sure it can be called from the view ?
My view code is:
Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
test
<hr>
<?php
$prefs = array (
'show_next_prev' => TRUE,
'next_prev_url' => 'http://www.your-site.com/index.php/calendar/show/'
);
$this->load->library('calendar', $prefs);
$data = array(
3 => 'http://your-site.com/news/article/2006/03/',
7 => 'http://your-site.com/news/article/2006/07/',
13 => 'http://your-site.com/news/article/2006/13/',
26 => 'http://your-site.com/news/article/2006/26/'
);
$this->calendar->generate($this->uri->segment(3), $this->uri->segment(4), $data);
?>
</body>
this generates this error
Code:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: CI_Loader::$calendar

You can load the library in the controller, with the preferences. You need to echo the generate function. Then it should work.

Sorry, you were right; I was noob ;-)
it works now!
for the next noob; here is the code..
in the controler:
Code:
function calendar()
{
$this->load->library('calendar');
$this->load->view('calendar_view');
}
in the view
Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
test
<hr>
<?php
echo $this->calendar->generate();
?>
</body>
