I'm sure that with some more attention this change could be made more bulletproof. I'll post a link as soon as I move my project to the live interwebs. Feel free to delete my failed comment posts.

I'll add it to the files. Does this mean you've got it working? Yep must have something wrong with my comment settings, but thanks for the tip with the view calendar. I’ll add it to the files.

This: <code><...a class='viewCal' href='/category/events/upcoming/'>View Calendar</code> To This: <code><?php</code> <code>if (!$theYear && !$theMonth) {</code> <code>?></code> <code><...a class='viewCal' href='/category/events/month'>View Calendar</code> <code><?php </code> <code>} else {</code> <code>?></code> <code><...a class='viewCal' href='/category/events/-'>View Calendar</code> <code><?php</code> <code>}</code> <code>;</code> <code>?> </code> Obviously the "..." don't belong there. Am just trying to trick the comment thing from processing the "a" tags. Third time’s a charm?

This:
<...a class='viewCal' href='/category/events/upcoming/'>View Calendar

To This:
<?php
if (!$theYear && !$theMonth) {
?>
<...a class='viewCal' href='/category/events/month'>View Calendar
<?php
} else {
?>
<...a class='viewCal' href='/category/events/-'>View Calendar
<?php
}
;
?>

Obviously the “…” don’t belong there. Am just trying to trick the comment thing from processing the “a” tags.

Let's try posting that code again. Changed this: <code><a class="viewCal" href="/category/events/upcoming/">View Calendar</a></code> To this: <code><?php</code> vif (!$theYear && !$theMonth) {</code> <code>?></code> <code><a class="viewCal" href="/category/events/month">View Calendar</a></code> <code><?php </code> <code>} else {</code> <code>?></code> <code><a class="viewCal" href="/category/events/-">View Calendar</a></code> <code><?php</code> <code>}</code> <code>;</code> <code>?> </code> Comment post fail.

Changed this:

I found that using <code>get_Permalink();</code> uses the date the post was created rather than the event date. Also, I modified miniCal2.php so that the "View Calendar" link under the calendar grid links to its respective month. For example, I have the mini-calendar in the sidebar of my homepage. If I use the double arrows (>>) to go forward or back to a different month, "View Calendar" will link to its respective month rather than linking to "...events/upcoming/". Anyway, I changed this code: <code><a class="viewCal" href="/category/events/upcoming/">View Calendar</a></code> to this: <code> <a class="viewCal" href="/category/events/month">View Calendar</a> <a class="viewCal" href="/category/events/-">View Calendar</a> </code> I've found this works with the following permalink structures: <code> /%category%/%postname%/ /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ </code> but it does not appear to work if the permalink structure is set to "default".

I’ve found this works with the following permalink structures:

/%category%/%postname%/
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

but it does not appear to work if the permalink structure is set to “default”.

I don't think get_Permalink(); will work as (although I've not tried it) I think it will cause the events to show up on the date they were created rather than the date of the event. I would keep your scripting as: <code>$return .= "/listings?id=$day-$month-$year";</code> just to get it working. If you are stuck, post your url, i might be able to see what is going wrong.

This correctly links to the proper posts, but now my events are showing up in the wrong days in the mini-calendar. Any idea why this might be happening? Is it breaking in the query or possibly elsewhere? Chris,

I'll change it. It should read: 10. Open the newly created page-day-list.php and at the top of the file add this code: <code><?php /* Template Name: day-list */ require_once('events/list1.php');?></code> and point 15 should read: 15 Create a new page in your admin and call it listings.
