How can I capture the selected (posted) date in the daily scheduler calendar (in reservation mode)?

If you are writing by yourself the form's processing code, then you need to know that the calendar put the reservation dates into hidden fields to allow the selected data to be posted just like normal form's fields:

<input type="hidden" name="selYearcal1" />
<input type="hidden" name="selMonthcal1" />
<input type="hidden" name="selDaycal1" />
<input type="hidden" name="selHourStartcal1" />
<input type="hidden" name="selMinuteStartcal1" />
<input type="hidden" name="selHourEndcal1" />
<input type="hidden" name="selMinuteEndcal1" />

The following PHP code can be used to capture & print the selected date in this case:

<?php
$posted_date_start = $_POST["selYearcal1"]."-".$_POST["selMonthcal1"].
                              "-" .$_POST["selDaycal1"].
                             " ".$_POST["selHourStartcal1"].":".$_POST["selMinuteStartcal1"];
$posted_date_end = $_POST["selYearcal1"]."-".$_POST["selMonthcal1"].
                              "-" .$_POST["selDaycal1"].
                             " ".$_POST["selHourEndcal1"].":".$_POST["selMinuteEndcal1"];
echo date("Y-m-d H:i", strtotime ($posted_date_start));
?>

Note that you can easily use other date formats based on the PHP "date" function. Example:


Formatting Sample #2: September 17, 2008, 9:00 am

Code used: echo date("F j, Y, g:i a", strtotime ($posted_date_start));


Formatting Sample #3: Wed Sep 17 9:00:00 Eastern Standard Time 2008

Code used: echo date("D M j G:i:s T Y", strtotime ($posted_date_start));


Formatting Sample #4: 2008/09/17 9:00 am

Code used: echo date("Y/m/d g:i a", strtotime ($posted_date_start));

How can I change the calendar's size?

For the calendars "Type #1 - Small Calendar" and "Type #3 - Reservation Calendar" go to the file "calendar.css" and there you will find the following styles:

Line #111 - Increase/decrease the calendar size:

.yui-calendar td.calcell {
    padding:.3em .4em;
    border:1px solid #E0E0E0;
    text-align:center;
    vertical-align: top;
}


For the calendar "Type #2 - Large Calendar" go to the file "DCDailyScheduler.css" and there you will find the following styles:

Line #190 - Increase/decrease the calendar size:

.yui-calendar td.calcell .h{
    padding:0px 0px;
    width:100px;
    min-height:100px;

    text-align:right;
    vertical-align: top;
}

Can I change the date format?

Open the file "DCDailyScheduler.js", go to the lines #10, #11 and where says:

    mCfg.MDY_DAY_POSITION = 2;
    mCfg.MDY_MONTH_POSITION = 1;


... change those lines to:

    mCfg.MDY_DAY_POSITION = 1;
    mCfg.MDY_MONTH_POSITION = 2;

I'm inserting the calendar in a template or I need to fix the calendar's folder in a different location, what configuration steps should be applied?

Follow these steps:

  1. In your page you must change the reference to the public.js file to an absolute reference, for example (absolute path to the site's root):

    <script type="text/javascript" src="/DC_DailyScheduler/public.js"></script>

  2. Open the file “public.js” and in the line #1 change the path to the calendar folder (absolute path to the site's root), example:

    var pathCalendar = "/DC_DailyScheduler";

  3. Open the File “DCDailyScheduler.js” and in the line #1 make the same change than above, example:

    var pathCalendar = "/DC_DailyScheduler";

    ...note that the leading "/" means that the folder is located in the main site's root folder. If you want to put the folder into the "templates" folder then this will be the correct value:

    var pathCalendar = "/Templates/DC_DailyScheduler";

How to change from 24 to 12 hour format?

To change the 24-hour clock to 12-hour clock go to the file "DCDailyScheduler.js", find the setting mCfg.MILITARY_TIME = 1; in the first lines and change it to 0 to use a 12-hour clock.

How to set events without times shown on calendar?

Select the setting shown in this image:

Events without time

How to set recurring events?

Mark the checkbox shown in this image:

recurring events

Note: Supports recurring events on weekly basis, ex.: all Mondays at 09.00 AM, all Saturdays at 10.00 PM, etc. Note: only recurring events of weekly frequency are supported.

How I can change the font size of the appointment text in the cell? (valid for Type 2: Large Calendar)

Open the file "DC_DailyScheduler/DCDailyScheduler.css", find this:

.yui-calendar td.calcell .h .in_events .ev{
font-size:11px;
font-weight:normal;
}

... and change it to (example):

.yui-calendar td.calcell .h .in_events .ev{
font-size:10px;
font-weight:normal;
}

That sample modification will decrease the font size from 11 pixels to 10 pixels.

To change the font size of the time text in the cell, find this:

.yui-calendar td.calcell .h .in_events .ev .t{
font-size:10px;
}

... and change it to (example):

.yui-calendar td.calcell .h .in_events .ev .t{
font-size:8px;
}

That sample modification will decrease the font size from 10 pixels to 8 pixels.

If you want to change the cursor icon with the question mark, locate this:

.yui-calendar td.calcell .h a:hover{
background-color:#6699CC;
color:#ffffff;
cursor:help;
}

... and change it to (example):

.yui-calendar td.calcell .h a:hover{
background-color:#6699CC;
color:#ffffff;
cursor:pointer;
}

That sample modification will replace the question mark cursor with the classic hand cursor for links.

You can download the newest version of the Adobe Extension Manager here:

If you have more than one extension manager installed in your computer, then open the version related to the Dreamweaver version where you want to install the extension and open the .MXP file from there.

When I preview my web page atfer I get this message in my Internet Explorer,"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted...". What is the problem?

If you are testing your page directly from your local hard disk in IE 7, this message appears:

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options."

In IE 7 this message appears when you test a web page that contains a script or Flash item directly form your local hard disk. When you upload your page to an online web server that message does not appear.

The address from a web server must start with http:// or https:// . On the other hand if the address start with C:\ or file:// then you are testing it from your local hard disk.

Just upload your web page to your web site and you will see that the error disappears.

I'm getting this error message "Is not possible to create data structure.". What's happening?

Please, change the "Links relative to" setting in the site configuration options (Dreamweaver 8 or later).

If this setting does not solve the problem, then follow these steps:

  1. Restart Dreamweaver
  2. Be sure that you have a local web site defined in Dreamweaver
  3. Open the page where you want to insert the extension(this page must be saved previously into your web site)
  4. Try to insert the extension again

Note about sales taxes.

No sales tax is charged when you purchase via PayPal. You can order via PayPal with a credit card even if you do not have a PayPal account. PayPal's status as a financial institution exempts PayPal orders from sales tax. CodePeople will be the retailer of record. CodePeople is based in Switzerland and does not have any US sales tax obligations.

I'm getting this error: "TypeError: THE_DOM has no properties" . There is a workaround?

Please follow these steps:
  1. Check if  you have defined a local web site at dreamweaver.
  2. Check if you have saved the page into your local web site.
  3. If you are using Dreamweaver templates, check if your templates allow an "Editable Region" in the <HEAD> section of the HTML code.
  4. After these checks, please restart your Dreamweaver and try again.
If the above actions don’t solve the problem, then probably the reason is a wrong HTML structure in the page that you are trying to use the product, in this case, please check the page’s HTML structure and if you cannot find the problem then contact our support service.

What version works best for me: the standalone version or the online version?

If you have previous experience developing web sites in Dreamweaver and your server supports the required scripts (PHP or ASP) then the standalone version fits better for you. On the other hand if you are looking for an extremely easy solution with no requirements from your web server then we recommend you the online service.

What is the price of these products?

The standalone calendars are one time purchase products: after the purchase you will get a copy of the software that you can install, configure and use in your web sites. On the other hand the online calendar service has a monthly fee since in this case we host your calendar in our own services making the entire process of installation and configuration much easier and faster.

How do I set write permissions on the required folders?

The standalone versions of the calendars require to set write permissions into one folder in order to be able to save the calendar's information.

For Linux/Unis servers: FTP programs ("clients") allow you to set permissions for files and directories on your remote host. This function is often called chmod or set permissions in the program menu.

In the first image, look at the last column - that shows the permissions. It looks a bit confusing, but for now just note the sequence of letters:



Right click the folder or files to set permissions, and usually a popup screen will appear (see the second image):



Don't worry about the check boxes. Just delete the 'Numeric value:' and enter the number you need - in this case it's 777 or simply mark all checkboxes. Then click OK.

For Windows Servers: There should be an option in your web hosting control panel to set write permissions. If it's not present, you may can contact your web hosting service and request the write permissions for the ASP code.
