New Site Design Released
Welcome to our latest site redesign!
(well, for the main site anyway; the forums will get a separate update at a later time)

This release also includes many minor tweaks and fixes that have been requested in the past several months.

We have not changed any color preferences for existing members. After all, many of you have customized your calendar's colors to fit your site. But if you are using the "Classic" localendar blue, we encourage you to click Options->Colors and select the new "Default" theme. You can always change it back to "Classic". New members will get the "Default" theme automatically.

We have done extensive testing of this update, but with a change this big some growing pains are inevitable. After all, we have a huge community that uses localendar in many different ways.

Please let us know if you have any issues with the redesign, and we appreciate your patience while we work out any kinks.

Re: New Site Design Released
Yes - we can see where the Month name and Start Hour might not be enabled properly on some browsers.

Fixed!

Re: New Site Design Released
With this new design the whole week is not fitting into the area we have set aside for it on Destination Brevard like it used to (at least for PC users). Now our viewers cannot see Saturday at all and on PC's they are not able to scroll over. Is there any solution for this?

Here is the link to our Event Calendar so you can see what is happening.

If reponding directly by email will resolve this issue faster my email is ryan@destinationbrevard.com. Thanks!

Re: New Site Design Released
Yup - we made some changes that reduced the "minimum size" required by the calendar. We didn't realize some of our members we squeezing their calendar into such narrow spaces.

We're addressing this issue, and things should be back to normal shortly.

Re: New Site Design Released
The entire calendar is gone this morning, yesterday there was periods where it was slow to load and only load on a refresh of a browser. Today it is not on the site at all, I have made NO changes to the code or layout since I began using Localendar.....when will this be resolved.

Re: New Site Design Released
I've experienced the exact same issues yesterday and today. Slow loading yesterday. No calendar at all today.

Re: New Site Design Released
I see that this is a known problem but there haven't been any responses, so here goes: the calendar doesn't load anymore. I even put the script into my code again and it simply does not appear. Please help. My library counts on this calendar. Website: ssclibrary.org.

Re: New Site Design Released
I'm having the same issue. Page is just blank where the calendar should be. Any idea when this will be fixed?

Posted by beedub at Oct 27, 2011, 4:23:36 PM

Re: New Site Design Released
Same problem here. Our calendar has vanished. It was in an out yesterday but is completely gone today.

Can we please get an update?....or an acknowledgement?

Thanks.

Re: New Site Design Released
I am also having this trouble. I have tried copying and pasting the script several times into the web site and still nothing but a blank page shows.

Re: New Site Design Released
Concur with everybody else. Can't get our Calendar to display. Any word on if anyone at localendar is aware of the issue?

Been hounding the boards all day trying to see some type of resolution.

Re: New Site Design Released
I was actually unaware of the changes to the site so it came as a bit of a surprise. Anyways, my Calendar hasn't vanished, instead I'm having issues trying to set my background back to the way it was.

If you go to Options > Colors section, I would like to set my Month-View Background to a shade of purple. When you're looking at the color palette, it's the first of three shades looking from left to right.

Obviously I've already tried several times to set it back to my preferred setting, is there any way you can help with that? Perhaps it's just slow because of the new site and all, but I just thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

Re: New Site Design Released
No calendar at all and colours have changed on the calendar when I am editing it, tried putting the code in again and still no calendar, Im in the uk so thought it was me doing something wrong.
I work for a school so this calendar is very important.

Re: New Site Design Released
Our calendars that were under the javascript are not working....

<SCRIPT src="http://www.localendar.com/public/WhatDoUWannaDo?include=Y&dynamic=Y&style=W0"></SCRIPT>

<script>

// Other settings you can customize for your site

var lcPopupColor="rgba(230, 230, 230, .9)"; /* Try other values like: rgb(230,230,230), #b0c4de, yellow, etc */

var lcPopupOutline="#333333";

var lcPopupCornerRadius=20; /* Set to 0 for square corners */

</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src='http://www.localendar.com/js/PublishedIncludeMini.js'></script>



<script type="text/javascript" src='http://www.localendar.com/public/WhatDoUWannaDo?include=Y&style=M5'></script>
<br/>
<br/>

We are forced to use the iframe setup currently .

We much preferred the use of javacsript HTML not the iframe HTML..
iframes have the ugly ugly scroll bars...

Did the javascript files become removed?
Is this no longer an offered feature?
We purchased this product for these abilities.

Thanks for your attention.

Re: New Site Design Released
Also,

I am having the same issue with the background color...
other preferences seem to save and the background preferences do not.....It keeps defaulting back to blue linnen looking background image.

When I save the preferences and go to a new tab and go back its back again.....

Would really like to overwrite the background.

Posted by WhatDoUWannaDo at Oct 28, 2011, 10:08:09 AM

Re: New Site Design Released
I don't know if this helps with the Linen Image issue with the background but when I look in firebug I see that body has no style attribute and is only inline styles the color style is being overwritten by the linen style.....

<body bgcolor"#ff9c4a" background="http://www.localendar.com/images/linen.gif" style="">

Because the attributes are inline I am unable to even overwrite it through css on our site. If there was a style tag I could maybe write background-image:None; but since it is inline and it is the secound attribute it will always overwrite what is in front.

Changing the code to
<body background="http://www.localendar.com/images/linen.gif" bgcolor"#ff9c4a" style="">

the "color" might over ride the "linen.gif" because it is the last css attribute ....

Re: New Site Design Released
Also when further investigation of javascript calendar

this URL is not working

http://www.localendar.com/public/WhatDoUWannaDo?include=Y&dynamic=Y&style=W0

it gives error code of "
Oops !

We encountered an error while trying to process your request.
Our system administrator has been notifed.

Please reference Error Id: 2089858901 in any communications."

http://www.localendar.com/js/PublishedIncludeMini.js
is working

http://www.localendar.com/public/WhatDoUWannaDo?include=Y&style=M5
is not working this error code 584205189

Also when i remove "?include=Y&style=M5" the link suddenly shows
up http://www.localendar.com/public/WhatDoUWannaDo calendar....

"?include=Y&dynamic=Y&style=W0"
also shows the calendar itself.......

Not sure what these query strings are for on your end but they are not working.........

If you fix these query strings I think it may resolve the problem of the missing calendars.

Thanks for your attention.

Re: New Site Design Released
It appears that the PHP files are working again and the calendar is working again......

However weird linen fabric background style is still overwriting colors selection.....
I think you may need an option for "background-image:none;"
so in the drop create background option maybe none and have that coordinate with the style background-image:none; and the colors will come through maybe....

Re: New Site Design Released
I see that several others have reported the same issue but it has not been addressed yet. My calendar has had the custom colours changed to the new default. When it loads, it momentarily flashes with my custom colours but then seems to be overwritten by the new default light blue weave pattern.

Posted by WhatDoUWannaDo at Oct 28, 2011, 11:31:39 AM

Re: New Site Design Released
Okay looks like colors are working in calendar again. =)
Thank you for your attention and help.

The transparent worked.....

Peeps select backgournd transparent and color to have colored background instead of linen or other texture..

Thank you.

Re: New Site Design Released
I am having the same problem.
The text colors save, but the background color keeps defaulting back to a textured bluish color. The small spaces between the day blocks are even the correct color, but the top/bottom background not.
It worked up until this am.
Thank you for any help!

Re: New Site Design Released
It looks like a few different issues are getting munged together into this thread.

Regarding the issues with embedded calendars/mini-calendars not being displayed correctly, that should be fixed. We will open a separate thread on that shortly.

Give us some time to sort through the non-related issues on this thread.

I would also suggest following us on Twitter (@localendar_news) if you use that service.
