Minicalendar Embed
I'm normally pretty good at this stuff, and am having no problem embedding any other kind of localendar type, but I can NOT get anything to happen when I try to embed the mini-calendar into my Blogger template. I've tried posting the entire code, portions of it, whatever and it just doesn't post (the space is blank). What's the trick to this thing?

Re: Minicalendar Embed
I'd like a link to your site/page, if possible.

It's entirely possible that the template you are using is using a different version of jQuery or another javascript library that is conflicting with our mini-calendar.

The mini-calendar relies on a lot of dynamic javascript and it thus more susceptible to these types of conflicts than the other calendar views.

Re: Minicalendar Embed
Thanks. I dont see any immediate red-flags, but I'll have to save a local copy and see what I can uncover. If you could create a sample page with the embedded mini-calendar code and send me the link directly to that as well, it would help a lot.

I should also note that you can change the localendar color options a lot more to match your site's look and feel. Just sign in to localendar and click Options, then select the Colors tab.

Re: Minicalendar Embed
I'm not sure what you mean by a sample page. Here's the code the localcalendar wants me to paste- maybe I'm just dense and you can tell me exactly what needs to be pasted where:




<style>
.localendar-close {
position: absolute;
top: 4px;
right: 4px;
margin:2px;
border: none;
}
.localendar-mini td, th {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 16px;
}
.localendar-label,.localendar-time,.localendar-title {
font-family:arial;font-size:12px;
}
.localendar-label {
font-weight:bold;font-size:14px;
}
.localendar-hasEvents {
background-color:orange;
cursor: pointer;
}
.localendar-selected {
/* Uncomment to enable this feature
background-color: yellow;
*/
}
.localendar-monthName{
background-color:#336699;
color: #FFFFFF;
/* Uncomment this to hide the Month name
display:none;
*/
}
.localendar-balloon{
text-align:left;
}
</style>
<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 language='JavaScript' src='http://www.localendar.com/js/PublishedIncludeMini.js'></script>


<script language='JavaScript' src='http://www.localendar.com/public/IslandBabble?include=Y&style=M5'></script>

I want to put it in my Blogger template under the "Things to Do" area on my main blogger page: http://islandbabble.blogspot.com/. I've got a link to the calendar now because I can't get the minicalendar to work, but would rather have the actual calendar there. I try to add a Blogger gadget (html/javascript), but nothing happens. I think I'm just not pasting things correctly but am out of combinations to try).

Re: Minicalendar Embed
Actually I meant if you could create a sample page on www.islandbabble.blogspot.com smile

This way, I can see how the localendar code is interacting with the theme on blogspot.

Re: Minicalendar Embed
Ok, I've added an html "gadget" on the right-hand side of my blogger page under the title Test for Localendar. You'll see that the calendar does not appear. It's totally user error, I know this, but hopefully you can see where I'm screwing up. Like that last line in the code...

Re: Minicalendar Embed
OK - that's a pretty complicated page so give me some time to sift through it.

Re: Minicalendar Embed
Ok, so it's really kind of upsetting me that I can only link to this minicalendar as opposed to having it embedded in my blog. I really think it's just an error I'm making in code placement. Can you just give me basic instructions on where to place the code? There's a bunch of code that I pasted in my blog, but then there's another line at the end of that code that says:


<script language='JavaScript' src='http://www.localendar.com/public/IslandBabble?include=Y&style=M5'></script>

This insinuates it's going to go in a different place than the code before it. Can you just provide instructions on where to place all the localendar code and I'll try again? Thanks
