To use something like /calendar/2008/june you will probably need to add a .htaccess file if you don't have one the rule would need to be something like: <code> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^calendar/([0-9]+)/(*.)$ calendar.php?year=$1&month=$2 [L] </code> (haven't checked the above though - but you get the idea...) p.s. there might still be a bug in the above code that won't show the last day of the month (can't remember if I have updated it yet). p.s. 2 - worth looking at the new version of this at http://www.flipflops.org/2008/04/08/cakephp-calendar-helper/ Hi Peter

The alternative to using it in a mod-rewrite type situation is just putting the year / month in the querystring e.g.

/calendar.php?year=2008&month=june

To go the querystring route you will need to edit line 89 of the function above that generates the back and forward links to output a link + querystring rather than just mod rewrite psuedo directory stuff.

To use something like /calendar/2008/june you will probably need to add a .htaccess file if you don’t have one the rule would need to be something like:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^calendar/([0-9]+)/(*.)$ calendar.php?year=$1&month=$2 [L]

(haven’t checked the above though – but you get the idea…)

p.s. there might still be a bug in the above code that won’t show the last day of the month (can’t remember if I have updated it yet).

p.s. 2 – worth looking at the new version of this at http://www.flipflops.org/2008/04/08/cakephp-calendar-helper/

Can't get that mod re-written to work. When I click next -> my browser opens some dirs that doesnt exist. What do I have to change? Thanks :) $base_url – the url to send the back / foward links on to i.e. the address of page (the calendar expects to be in a mod re-written situation e.g. http://www.flipflops.org/calendar/2008/june)

Could you please explain how you call the calendar function in a cakephp view ? Thanks again. Hello, that’s very nice. Could you please explain how you call the calendar function in a cakephp view ?

In the meantime though it looks like some of you are finding it useful which is great. John Hi Evert

Yes you can re-use it - I'm aware that there are a few bugs etc. but I haven't had a chance to update it yet (apologies) I intended it to use the MIT license like Cake itself - when I re factored and cleaned up the code a bit. So anyway feel free to use it but I would really appreciate a reference to the source in the code and if you have blog or website just a quick link back to fliplflops.org - but up to you. Somebody else contacted me about using the coed as the basis for a Cake Helper, but I don't know if they have released any code yet - but it might be worth looking in the bakery. Cheers John Hi Andy
