Update. This extension has been tested on 1.5.0 and 1.6.3 and found to be working perfectly. I use it extensively. --Hansv 15:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Wow. I didn't even have a chance to test it yet, because I took down my own webserver. Nice! What syntax did you use? ---- Shane 17:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

There are bugs. It only working for the current month. Updates are coming...

Should be working now. Follow the format on the main page. ---- Shane 21:23, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Styles

I installed this on my Wiki, but it looks pretty naff! You need to tell people how to get the styles the calendar uses (cal-header etc). JohanTheGhost 19:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Problem?

I get "Warning: call_user_func(wfCalendarExtension) [function.call-user-func]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback in C:\wiki\mediawiki\includes\Setup.php on line 327" whenever I put in the plugin. Is there something horrible and aweful I'm doing I shouldn't be, or is this a bug?

Calendar table is wrongly generated

some lines in the generated table (4th line -2nd week- to the end) don't have <tr> (but have </tr> in the end) Making it incompatible to simple browsers and XHTML. I would fix that but I dont think the autor want me changing it :P

Today is aways showed in the calendar, even if it is now the right year or month

I know of the many problems.

Fix as needed. This is a very small project and it's during a time that I am moving to a new place in the world so my abialibility to work on this is very little. ---- Shane 21:05, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Demo site?

I would like to demo it before installing it. Is there a site where I can see it in action? Srumberg

Adding An Entry Error

I'm running mediawiki 1.6.8. If I click on a date to add an entry, it tries to go to the index.php page but it tells me

The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Additionnals lines to allow multi-language

Hello,

I have done some modifications on your extension to have differents languages on this calendar. I offer my modifications if you think that there are interresting.

I have only do french and english language possiblities. But it's very easy to add others as it's necessary. I use this function with extensions of Category:Internationalization_Extensions

1. Under the line :

$mwCalendar = new mwCalendar();

Add:

# Allows to choose appropriate language
$mwCalendar->dateLanguage();

2. Change:

var $wday_names = array("Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat");
var $wmonth_names = array("January","Febuary","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");

To:

var $wday_names; 
var $wmonth_names;

3. In the class 'mwCalendar', after declaration of variables for example, add the function:

/*
* Function witch allows to have differents languages for months and days
* By Sebastien C
*/
function dateLanguage ()
{
	global $wgUser;

	$lang = $wgUser->getOption('language');
			
	switch ($lang) {
	case $lang == "fr":
		$this->wday_names = array("D","L","M","M","J","V","S"); 
		$this->wmonth_names = array("Janvier","Fevrier","Mars","Avril","Mai","Juin","Juillet","Aout","Septembre","Octobre","Novembre","Decembre");
		break;
					
	case $lang == "en":
		$this->wday_names = array("S","M","T","W","T","F","S"); 
		$this->wmonth_names = array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
		break;
					
	default :
		$this->wday_names = array("S","M","T","W","T","F","S"); 
		$this->wmonth_names = array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
	}
}

Starting day of the month

I have the strange problem, that every month from October 2007 on starts on Thursday. Any idea to fix it? J2w 21:46, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Fix, simply use the original "dayOfWeek" Function

        function dayOfWeek($month,$year) 
        { 
                if ($month > 2) {
                                $month -= 2; 
                }
                else 
                { 
                                $month += 10; 
                                $year--; 
                } 
 
                $day =  ( floor((13 * $month - 1) / 5) + 
                                                $this->day + ($year % 100) + 
                                                floor(($year % 100) / 4) + 
                                                floor(($year / 100) / 4) - 2 * 
                                                floor($year / 100) + 77); 
 
                $weekday_number = (($day - 7 * floor($day / 7))); 
 
                return $weekday_number; 
  }

This one does not work

        function dayOfWeek($month,$year)
        { 
        $weekday_no = date("w", strtotime("1 ".$this->wmonth_names[$month - 1]." $year"));
        if ($weekday_no == 0) return 6;
        else return $weekday_no - 1;
