Hello,

I've been inspired greatly by the overall functionality and look of what I consider a designer's masterpiece ... http://www.k10k.net. With that they have an event calendar that I would love nothing more than to have "duplicated" for a non profit website I'm working on. I'm a designer and would put my own "face" and style to the event calendar, but am seeking an eager PHP coder to help me out.

Is there anyone who is will to spend a moment of time assisting and/or providing info/links to a site/code snippets that could accomplish very close to what I'm looking for?

Your assistance and wisdom is greatly appreciated! I have checked all the many scripting sites, including Hotscripts, Scriptsearch ... as well Google -- to no avail.

ps. previously posted in jobs/advertising ... trying here now.

If you view the source of that page you'll see:

Code: Select all

<!-- All javascript, html, css code free to use for non-commercial purposes. -->
Borrow theirs.

I would love to, but as I have most of the CSS and JS downloaded upon seeing that line item you referenced, it's the functionality with the dynamic pages I cannot see of course to redo ... Is there a work around that I'm not seeing or understanding. Apologies for my slowness for php ... :)

Everah ... I understand what you're getting at, but outside of accessing the typical "user-side" files of .js and .css ... and the little bit of script within that page of reference, I cannot access server-side pages to see/understand what they do to accomplish the functionality ... UNLESS you know something I don't ... :)

No, I am just saying that most event calendars are going to operate the same. I have seen a ton of them on Hotscripts and throughout the internet. If all you are in need of is a calendar, search for PHP Event Calendar on Google. I know you will find something useful.

Everah,

I hear ya ... As I stated before in the original thread ... I've searched up and down for a very similar "event calendar" via Google, Hotscripts, Scriptsearch, etc. etc. To no avail. That's why I'm here, to solicit more help and/or volunteer assistance.

Thanks Everah!

Cool cool. What exactly do you need out of the calendar you are looking for?

Basically I would like a "duplicate" basis of functionality as it relates to the k10k.net website ... the ability to see days/dates highlighted which determine an actual highlighted event ... by clicking on it you can see the day's event(s)--whereas you can scroll down through each event -OR- each event is "collapsable" where only one is "open" for default viewing and the rest are clickable to view via the title (the initially opened event for that day would collapse and the newly clicked would open or "unfold") -OR- each event is "separate" where you can view each separate event by clicking on the "next" button until there are no more events remaining for that day ...

And then of course the idea of creating a form exactly as seen for "submit event" ...

Another site with similar aspects of functionality is: http://www.lounge72.com/ (http://www.lounge72.com/root/spotlight.php)

I hope that makes sense to you Everah ... thanks again for your patience ... :)

Basically the view of each of those pages mentioned in controlled in the CSS. Functionally speaking, each event calendar is pretty similar. I would look at a few that offer your requirements functionally, then move on to styling them accordingly.

That website is attractive, though hardly 56k friendly. As for the calendar, it looks similar to a lot of PHP calendars that are out there. Google PHP Calendar. I'm actually pretty sure that there is a good PHP calendar called "PHP Calendar." :P

The calendar on this website just looks like a regular calendar with graphics on the cells. That's.. it. Just get a regular one and CSS up some goodness.
