Several questions

Hi Tuan,
Some questions for you and your css developer.
1. I use a custom css for the mini-calendar I used to update this by copying my custom css file over the dark.css in the assets/css/themes directory, Since the move to media this does not seem to work, any ideas would be helpful.
2. I notice an ocean.css theme which might work for older eyes as well as my custom but it is not available on the menu.
3. We have a number of different types of events for our membership and would like to have them all represented on the calendar but some are of the first monday of the month type. I have been working with this type of repeat on my test site and have not had much luck. Are there any caveats for the use of this function. It seems to fail for events during the first week of the month. Symptoms are the first month's entry is skipped and the remaining events are posted one day of the week early in subsequent months.

I am sure some of this is my error so HELP.

Other than these issues (which are really minor) the software works perfectly.

Thanks,
Mike

Help!

Hi Mike

I am afraid of I could not give much help related to these questions

1. I use a custom css for the mini-calendar I used to update this by copying my custom css file over the dark.css in the assets/css/themes directory, Since the move to media this does not seem to work, any ideas would be helpful.

=> Mayb you should explain more details about it. You are saying that any custom css code you added to the dark.css file is not loaded ? What calendar theme you are using now ? You can send us the link to the page where the mini calendar is displayed so that I can look at it, too.

2. I notice an ocean.css theme which might work for older eyes as well as my custom but it is not available on the menu.

=> We actually don't have that theme. If you look at the file ocean.css, you will see that the file is empty, that's the reason it is not selectable.

3. We have a number of different types of events for our membership and would like to have them all represented on the calendar but some are of the first monday of the month type. I have been working with this type of repeat on my test site and have not had much luck. Are there any caveats for the use of this function. It seems to fail for events during the first week of the month. Symptoms are the first month's entry is skipped and the remaining events are posted one day of the week early in subsequent months.

=> This issue is not very clear to me. If it is possible, please send me a screenshot of what settings you entered when creating the event and what's wrong so that I can understand, check the issue and get it fixed.

I think that i have solved the css problem - just reworked the css for the colors now i need to check if copying after update works. There didn't appear to be many tag changes in the css so it must have been an error in my file that didn't show up in the old version. i usually copy my css file over dark.css and use the dark theme. It would be really nice to add a custom css file to the list. i need more contrast than the existing themes. Please take a look at the mini-calendar at www.estesparknewcomers.org to get an idea of the contrast I need. Looking again at the ocean.css it is a 0 byte file.

2. I will try to get some screen shots of the settings for an event that repeats on the nth Monday of the month. I am leaving on vacation Monday and will be away for a couple of weeks so it may take a little time.

Thanks for your response.

Screen shots showing setup are in the zip file as well as screen shots of the calendar for September (event not present) and October (event present on Sunday rather than Monday). Please take a look at www.holmes.x10.mx/newcomers/index.php/event-calendar . I also notice that the event is shown on the first and last Sunday of January 2016 and skipped in February. I will try to add an event on the third Thursday of the month. All added events will have green backgrounds.

Thanks for taking a look,
Mike

Hi Tuan,
I am back from vacation and wondered if you had a chance to look into this problem?
