[! zcalendar!] Calendar Snippet3 This snippet does NOT rely on an etomite page per entry.
This is intended for those who want to enter a lot of entries quickly and want a dedicated page and/or a dedicated picture as an option.

This snippet outputs in hcalendar format which allows surfers to add your events to calendar applications like Outlook, Google Calendar etc. This works very well with FF with the Operator add-on installed, there are also other applications that can convert the hcalendar format to .ics importable format.

It can also just be used as a general events and calendar display.

ChangeLog:
25/7/07 Updated snippet to fix the duplicate entry in the calendar.
Added hyperlinks and anchors to events as requested.
Added tooltips (on mouse-hover on calendar, event titles are displayed).
30/7/07 Fixed database error on installation if not logged in.
31/7/07 Use extIntTableExists() for reliable tablecheck. Changed security to use only checkPermissions().
31/7/07 Included support for FURLs
31/7/07 Removed in-line styling in favor of classes (old styles left in the snippet for reference).
4/8/07 Abstracted the template from the code in a separate chunk. I also included class names that automatically are set to "hidden_class" if there is no content. If you set the css to hidden_class{display:none}, these will be hidden from view.
5/8/07 All events and Single events can now be enclosed in any tags you like. default is: ALL<ul></ul> EACH: nil (set <li></li> in the template if you wish).
5/8/07 Fixed broken anchors
5/8/07Changed Make URL parameters for data forms so that they redirect to the last viewed month instead of current month.
Updated Template to work with(thanks cathode).
prevMonth and nextMonth set for both calendar navigations
fixed blank pic not hiding
9/8/07 Fixed missing makeURL parameters required for event anchor to return the correct month.
9/9/07 Fixed incorrectly applied $hide class values which accidentally hid event elements that should not have been hidden.
12/10/07: V 3.6.5.

• Added tigra validation for the title form field to stop non-alphanumeric characters from breaking zcal_mini.
• Fixed "Editing record..." message.
• Changed manual database connection to automatic configuration.
• Added cal-image alt tag.

5/11/07:V 3.6.6
Removed tigra validation in favour of php validation for only those characters that break zcal mini (',",\). (All other characters and spaces allowed).
Fixed bug in automatic database connection settings.
Added srtip_slashed_deep function check to stop re-declaration errors.
More obsolete code clean-up.
17/11/07
Edited and updated this documentation not a snippet update.

2008/05/10

• Created zcalendar as a zip package with all tigra_calendar files required.
• Inserted the javascript file call into the snippet rather than requiring users to place it in template headers for simplicity of installation.
• Modified the event source code to be formatted better.
• Added error reporting if the chunk is not configured corectly.
• Made a separate chunk and readme file
• Tested for operation in EtomiteV1

See also the snippet zcalendar_display to see how the same data can be displayed in a month by month printable calendar and zcal_mini for a compact calendar (suitable for a side bar or template header) with links to the events listing page.
