Default Calendar View

[C4talyst]

I'd like the calendar to default to Monthly view. How do I accomplish this?

[SugarDev.net]

This huge change requires a core hack in ./modules/Calendar/index.php:

 55    if ( empty($_REQUEST['view']))
56    {
57        $_REQUEST['view'] = 'day';
58    } 
  

Change day to month.

Is there an upgrade safe way of doing this?

In case this help someone, uploading /modules/Calendar/index.php into /custom/modules/Calendar.index.php seems to work fine and should be "upgarde safe"

Additionaly , editing the table at the end of that file to this will give render your task list in the week view, something I find quite useful.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign=top width="70%" style="padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 2px;">
<?php template_calendar($args); ?>
</td>
<?php if ($_REQUEST['view'] == 'day') { ?>
<td valign=top width="30%">
<?php include("modules/Calendar/TasksListView.php") ;?>
</td>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($_REQUEST['view'] == 'week') { ?>
<td valign=top width="30%">
<?php include("modules/Calendar/TasksListView.php") ;?>
</td>
<?php } ?>
</tr>
</table> 

Basically, it renders -or not- an additional cell depending on the requested view.

Regards

Edit:

humm, there´s something (bug? feature?) that makes the task list not to show the tasks with Start Date assigned....

Thanks for this. It works!

However, is it possible to have this modification on a user level. Not many people may want the same view.

Thanks!

Hi,

This is an option - from my hacked version of Calmod. Rather than have individual settings, this stores the previous view and date position as a session variable. So once changed, the system will remember what view the user had and whereabouts in the calendar they were. Also, there is a 'reset' link to up it back to the current date. Once the session is closed, it reverts back to the global default view - but it's better changing it once per session rather than for each view.

This is for the v5.1 source code, but it shouldn't have changed for v5.2 - if it has, you'll have to compare the original code and see what needs altering....: Edit modules/Calendar/index.php (or the previously mentioned upgrade-safe version).

At line 47, change:

if ( empty($_REQUEST['view']))
{
	$_REQUEST['view'] = 'day';
}

$date_arr = array();

if ( isset($_REQUEST['ts']))
{
	$date_arr['ts'] = $_REQUEST['ts'];
}

if ( isset($_REQUEST['day']))
{

	$date_arr['day'] = $_REQUEST['day'];
}

if ( isset($_REQUEST['month']))
{
	$date_arr['month'] = $_REQUEST['month'];
}

if ( isset($_REQUEST['week']))
{
	$date_arr['week'] = $_REQUEST['week'];
}

if ( isset($_REQUEST['year']))
{
	if ($_REQUEST['year'] > 2037 || $_REQUEST['year'] < 1970)
	{
		print("Sorry, calendar cannot handle the year you requested");
		print("<br>Year must be between 1970 and 2037");
		exit;
	}
	$date_arr['year'] = $_REQUEST['year'];
}

// today adjusted for user's timezone
if(empty($date_arr)) {
	global $timedate;
    $gmt_today = $timedate->get_gmt_db_datetime();
    $user_today = $timedate->handle_offset($gmt_today, $GLOBALS['timedate']->get_db_date_time_format());
	preg_match('/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})/',$user_today,$matches);

    $date_arr = array(
      'year'=>$matches[1],
      'month'=>$matches[2],
      'day'=>$matches[3],
      'hour'=>$matches[4],
      'min'=>$matches[5]);
} 

$args['calendar'] = new Calendar($_REQUEST['view'], $date_arr);
if ($_REQUEST['view'] == 'day' || $_REQUEST['view'] == 'week' || $_REQUEST['view'] == 'month')
{
	global $current_user;
	$args['calendar']->add_activities($current_user);
}
$args['view'] = $_REQUEST['view'];

?>

if (( empty($_REQUEST['view']))  && (empty($_SESSION['view'])))
{
        $_REQUEST['view'] = 'week';

$date_arr = array();


if ( isset($_SESSION['ts']) && !(isset($_REQUEST['ts'])))

}

if ( isset($_REQUEST['view']))
{
        $_SESSION['view'] = $_REQUEST['view'];
}


// today adjusted for user's timezone


if(empty($date_arr)|| $_REQUEST['reset'] == 'yes') {
        global $timedate;

        if (!($_SESSION['view']=='day' || $_SESSION['view']=='week' ||$_SESSION['view']=='month')) {
                $_REQUEST['view'] = 'week';
        }

    $gmt_today = $timedate->get_gmt_db_datetime();
    $user_today = $timedate->handle_offset($gmt_today, $GLOBALS['timedate']->get_db_date_time_format());

        preg_match('/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})/',$user_today,$matches);

    $date_arr = array(
      'year'=>$matches[1],
      'month'=>$matches[2],
      'day'=>$matches[3],
      'hour'=>$matches[4],
      'min'=>$matches[5]);
}

$args['calendar'] = new Calendar($_REQUEST['view'], $date_arr);
if ($_REQUEST['view'] == 'day' || $_REQUEST['view'] == 'week' || $_REQUEST['view'] == 'month')
{
        global $current_user;
        $args['calendar']->add_activities($current_user);
}
$args['view'] = $_REQUEST['view'];

?>

And finally, the last three lines in the same index.php, change:

<?php } ?>
</tr>
</table>

to:

<?php } ?>
</tr>
<tr><td><br></td></tr>
<tr><td scope='row' class="{ROW_COLOR}S1"  valign=TOP><slot><a href="./index.php?module=Calendar&action=index&reset=yes" class="listViewTdLinkS1">Reset to today</a></slot></td></tr>
</table>
