=== Enhanced-Calendar === Contributors: mpwalsh8 Donate link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=ESP5FSYD3GXRJ Tags: calendar Requires at least: 2.9 Tested up to: 3.0.3 Stable tag: 0.0.7 Enhancements to Kieran O'Shea's Calendar plugin to allow multiple uses, theme styling, and more. == Description ==
Enhanced-Calendar (previously known as Calendar-Plus) enhances Kieran O'Shea's Calendar plugin by removing several limitations and adding the ability to instantiate the calendar in a sidebar widget.
Enhanced-Calendar requires the original Calendar plugin to be installed and activated. Enhanced-Calendar introduces a proper shortcode which can also be used to display the calendar in a sidebar by using the Sidebar Shortcode plugin.
== Installation ==To install Enhanced-Calendar, download it, unzip it, upload it to your WordPress installation and activate like a standard plugin.
1. Upload `enhanced-calendar` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate Enhanced-Calendar through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress == Usage == Usage of Enhanced-Calendar is primarily driven by shortcodes. Enhanced-Calendar does not change the way in which Calendar adds and manages calendar events. The [calendar] shortcode has several arguments. You could create a post that contains the following content to see how the various options affect the Calendar output:[calendar] [calendar weekday=1] [calendar weekday=3 descriptions='off'] [calendar dateswitcher='off'] [calendar weekday=3 dateswitcher='off' descriptions='off']== Styling == Enhanced-Calendar moves the CSS styling from a plugin setting which is stored in the database to a separate CSS file which makes it easy to style Calendar with your own WordPress theme. The default CSS file shipped with Enhanced-Calendar is the same as the default settings from the Calendar plugin. You can see Enhanced-Calendar in action on the CASL Shocks web site. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Does this plugin replace the Calendar plugin? = No it does not. It "enhances" the Calendar plugin hence the name. The Enhanced-Calendar plugin requires the original Calendar plugin to be installed and be active. Management of calendar events continues to be done using the Calendar plugin. Enhanced-Calendar provides a way to present the calendar differently and more control over styling it as part of a theme. = How did you achieve the styling on the CASL Shocks web site? = By default Enhanced-Calendar uses the same CSS as calendar but it is loaded via a style sheet included with the plugin instead of from the database plugin option setting which is the standard plugin operation. By using style sheets, the CSS can be styled as part of the theme which is exactly what I have done for styling the Calendar on the CASL Shocks web site. The calendar is styled by adding the following CSS to my theme CSS file:
/*
* Calendar styling
*
*/
.calendar-heading {
background-color: #EFEFEF !important;
}
.current-day {
background-color: #EFEFEF !important;
}
.normal-day-heading, .weekend-heading, .calendar-date-switcher {
background-color: #EFEFEF !important;
}
.current-day, .day-with-date, .day-without-date {
/*
width: 30px !important;
height: 50px !important;
*/
overflow: hidden;
}
.events {
background: url(../images/soccer/SoccerBallSidebar.png) no-repeat -10px 115%;
}
.event-dagger {
display: inline !important;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.2em;
}
.kjo-link {
display: none !important;
}
.widget_calendar_upcoming, .widget_calendar_today {
border-top: 0px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
.widget_calendar_upcoming ul li, .widget_calendar_today ul li {
border-width: 0px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
padding-left: 5px;
}
.widget_calendar_upcoming ul li a, .widget_calendar_today ul li a {
padding: 0.3em 0em;
}
