Hello all,
First of all, ec3 is a great plugin. It's pretty easy to use and modify.
Ok, down to business.
I have modified (read: sloppily hacked) the php, css, and js of ec3 to the
point where ec3_get_calendar() provides a "full page" calendar based on the
settings in the options page for ec3 (day of the week names, placement of nav
buttons, etc.). I believe this is something asked for in the to-do list, but
I'm not sure if it's already accomplished.
I know others have done this, but I found it mostly for older versions of
eventcalendar. I based my work on some of the info here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/80742 and here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/27491.
The only problems are:
a) I'm not a programmer or coder, so I don't know if all that I have done is
proper
b) I didn't comment any of my work (although comparing originals with my
modified files will reveal changes, and I can remember why I did certain
things)
c) this excludes the possibility of having a small calendar in the sidebar
(although having upcoming events still works)... although from what I gather,
some hacking on the XML ID's or something like that could fix this. (this is
beyond me at the moment)
you can see the result of my efforts here: http://www.umdtke.com/brothers/cal
I don't know if I should attach the modified files or insert them in this
email, so I will do neither until someone can advise me on that.
One other thing I fixed is I modified the iCal code to allow for it to work
properly when posts are hidden/revealed by the disclose-secret plugin (found
here: http://bluesome.net/post/2006/01/01/121/)... After a while of pulling
out my hair on that one I found all I needed was to add 2 characters to the
code that generates the sql query!
I hope my work will help others with ec3!
