EXT: Render week preview for calendar¶

What does it do?¶

The extension's purpose is to provide Typo3 installations using calendar base extension (cal) with a new month-style view that allows to preview the events of the next weeks.

This view is as comprehensive and clear as the default month view and and acts as mid-term overview like a list view. It fits especially the need for public calendars that offer more events a list view can handle because of removing the barrier of the end of a month.

Screenshots¶

• 

• Even across the end of the month, events are shown in the calendar grid – without the special “off month”-CSS-styling

• Activation of the week-preview and the number of weeks is done by changing template constants:

  

Installation¶

FAQ¶

F: While trying to install the extension, the Extension Manager complains about a wrong version of cal...

A: Most likely, cal's version 1.2 is not available in the TER yet. At the time of writing this manual, it was still in development, requiring to manually install a development snapshot.

F: I installed the extension and changed the number of weeks to 10, but the view doesn't change.

A: Please make sure that you installed the static template properly. If no valid configuration is found, the extension falls back to the standard month view.

F: I'm pretty sure I did everything as described, but the view simply shows a heading with the week day names.

A: Please ensure that you provided a “number of weeks” greater than zero. Negative values, a “0” or alphanumeric values will result in showing no weeks at all.
