Full Calendar in MT
I’ve always loved the appearance of the calendars to see where I’m at in my blogging history. Before this time, I’ve always hand coded out tables to point to my archives, or added on to previous tables that I had from Blogger/Greymatter. But now that all of my archives are in Movable Type, I finally got a chance to put the tables together all on one page. Calendar Archives.
Here’s how I do it.
Note: I’m using a modification on Dawn’s calendar tutorial to get alternating colors in the calendar.
I created a new Archive Template named Date-Based Calendar Archive. It generates the calendar for each month.
<div class=”calendar”>
<div align=”center”><B><$MTArchiveDate format=”%B, %Y”$></B></div>
<TABLE BORDER=”0″ CELLPADDING=”2″ CELLSPACING=”0″ WIDTH=”140″><TR>
<TD class=”calhead”>S</TD><TD class=”calhead”>M</TD><TD class=”calhead”>T</TD><TD class=”calhead”>W</TD><TD class=”calhead”>T</TD><TD class=”calhead”>F</TD><TD class=”calhead”>S</TD></TR>
<MTCalendar month=”this”>
<MTCalendarWeekHeader><TR HEIGHT=”20″><? $counter = 0; ?></MTCalendarWeekHeader>
<TD class=”calbody” style=”<MTCalendarIfToday>background-color: #4e4e4e;</MTCalendarIfToday>” BGCOLOR=”<? echo $counter++ % 2 ? ‘#222222′ : ‘#111111′ ?>”><MTCalendarIfEntries>
<a href=”http://kadyellebee.com/mt/past/<$MTEntryDate format=”%Y/%m/%d.php”$>” title=”<MTEntries> | <$MTEntryTitle encode_html=”1″$> | </MTEntries>”>
<$MTCalendarDay$></A></MTCalendarIfEntries>
<MTCalendarIfNoEntries><$MTCalendarDay$></MTCalendarIfNoEntries>
<MTCalendarIfBlank><BR></MTCalendarIfBlank>
</td><MTCalendarWeekFooter></tr>
</MTCalendarWeekFooter></MTCalendar>
</table></div>
I bolded the path to my archives, because you’d want to change that - Because I have daily archives turned on, my calendar links to that day’s posts. And I have an archive filename (daily: <$MTArchiveDate format=”%Y/%m/%d.php”$>) turned on to point to a specific location. If you don’t have daily archiving turned on, you can still use this, you just need to modify it a bit first.
Now that I’ve created this template, I go into the Blog Config under Archiving and clicked Add New… to add this to the list. I selected Monthly and Date-based Calendar Archive Template to pair these things together. I gave it an archive filename, for easy linking in my master template: <$MTArchiveDate format=”%Y/%m/cal.php”$>.
Putting it all together on the Master Calendar page took a bit of PHP and some help from my husband - his PHP knowledge goes much beyond mine! I wanted a 3-column format, with the oldest calendar on the top. Because I wanted to use MT to generate this list, I created a new index template named Master Calendar Archives and set its output file to cal.php. Inside my formatting, here’s the contents:
<table>
<?php
$cals = ‘<MTArchiveList archive_type=”Monthly”><$MTArchiveDate format=”%Y/%m/cal.php”$>,</MTArchiveList>’;
$cals = strrev($cals);
$i=0;
$tok = strtok($cals, ‘,’);
do {
if ($i%3==0) { print ‘<tr>’; }
print ‘<td valign=”top”>’;
include (’/home/love/public_html/hopelessromantics/mt/past/’.strrev($tok));
print ‘</td>’;
if ($i%3==2) { print ‘</tr>’; }
$i++;
} while ($tok = strtok(’,'));
?>
</table>
Rebuild and view your calendar! Feel free to post questions, and I’ll try my best to answer; or make Eric come and answer the harder ones!

Okay, and I finally put together the code I’m using for my Calendar archive over at scriptygoddess - feel free
August 4th, 2002 at 3:41 pm
The page looks good and I like all the calendar’s laid out like that. My only reservation about it is that the page is 215k and took ages to load (on work’s crappy connection). Would there be any way to streamline it and reduce the page size?
August 4th, 2002 at 10:07 pm
Yes, your right, it is a heavy page. Each calendar table is heavy to start with. But here’s some idea for making it lighter… take out the alternating color option, take out class names for each header, and take out the the title on each table cell. Those things probably would bump it down a bit
Here’s an untested copy of the code that’s been reduced down to its basic form:
<div class=”calendar”>
<div align=”center”><B><$MTArchiveDate format=”%B, %Y”$></B></div>
<TABLE BORDER=”0″ CELLPADDING=”2″ CELLSPACING=”0″ WIDTH=”140″><TR>
<TD>S</TD><TD>M</TD><TD>T</TD><TD>W</TD><TD>T</TD><TD>F</TD><TD>S</TD></TR>
<MTCalendar month=”this”>
<MTCalendarWeekHeader><TR HEIGHT=”20″></MTCalendarWeekHeader>
<TD><MTCalendarIfEntries>
<a href=”http://kadyellebee.com/mt/past/<$MTEntryDate format=”%Y/%m/%d.php”$>”>
<$MTCalendarDay$></A></MTCalendarIfEntries>
<MTCalendarIfNoEntries><$MTCalendarDay$></MTCalendarIfNoEntries>
<MTCalendarIfBlank><BR></MTCalendarIfBlank>
</td><MTCalendarWeekFooter></tr>
</MTCalendarWeekFooter></MTCalendar>
</table></div>
Hope that gives you somewhere to start with
August 6th, 2002 at 10:56 am
Thanks, Kristine! It worked great and your instructions are easy to understand! I changed mine to a two column layout just because three columns looked really crowded on my layout, but everything still came out great. Thanks!
August 6th, 2002 at 10:21 pm
Thanks to the ever-amazing Kristine’s post at Scripty Goddess on how to display all your calendars in an archive template
August 6th, 2002 at 10:22 pm
Thanks once again for another great tip! Got my page all worked out today.

Well according to this website we may be alright. By sheer luck or Divine intervention, take your pick, I bought
August 7th, 2002 at 11:21 pm
Oh those Scripty Goddess’s have come up with something very cool, again! You can see the result of the above
August 14th, 2002 at 12:02 pm
I followed all this to the letter, replacing the relevant parts, however attempting to open my cal.php just gets me
‘Warning: Failed opening ‘/home/public_html/archives/1998/10/cal.php’ for inclusion (include_path=”) in /home/tripleb/public_html/cal.php on line 12′
In every cell of the table.
Any hints as to what may cause this?
August 14th, 2002 at 1:41 pm
Check to make sure that THIS line of the PHP code:
include (’/home/love/public_html/hopelessromantics/mt/past/’.strrev($tok));
has your username in it - the error you are getting says /home/public_html
rather than /home/tripleb/public_html
If that doesn’t help, here’s a few more suggestions: Is it possible that you didn’t set up the archive filename for the Monthly calendars? Also, you could check and make sure you rebuilt the Date-based archives so that the files are for sure in their directories already.
August 14th, 2002 at 1:56 pm
Thank you so much
Silly me totally missed that it was telling me to add ‘tripleb’ after /home…I’ve spent too long trying to debug Linux, I’m a scatterbrain now
August 19th, 2002 at 10:49 pm
I seem to have done everything properly (I bet you’ve never heard THAT one before), however when I go to my cal.php file, I get the following error:
Fatal error: input in flex scanner failed in /unix/path/to/my/archives on line 1
Where the /unix/path stuff is the proper path to my archives directories. I have all the subdirs (year/mo) and all the files seem to be generated correctly.
The monthly calendar files are generated properly, but it’s the main calendar index page that gives me that error.
If I replace the /unix/path/to/archives to a non-existant path, I get a different error about not being able to include file, which is expected. The file format is also correct for the index page, 3 colums, and I see in the source, that it’s put the correct filenames (i.e. 2002/08/cal.php) in the source, so it’s somewhere in the php scripting that’s hosing the thing up.
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks,
Z
August 19th, 2002 at 11:02 pm
Hmmm, I hadn’t seen that error message before, so I did a google-search and found this info:
The “input in flex scanner failed” error is generated when a call to:
require($path)
is made with $path specifying a directory and not a file. Or the target file can not be found.
So I’m thinking that maybe you didn’t put the end of your path with the filename on it -
$cals = ‘<MTArchiveList archive_type=”Monthly”><$MTArchiveDate format=”%Y/%m/cal.php“$>,</MTArchiveList>’;</h3>
See on the 2nd line its got cal.php in it? Maybe check and see what you used for this line - and make sure it has a filename specified instead of just a directory. If that’s not it, I’ll have my husband look at the code and see if he can see anything else
August 19th, 2002 at 11:09 pm
Yea, I just pretty much cut & pasted the code right off your page here.
$cals = ‘<MTArchiveList archive_type=”Monthly”><$MTArchiveDate format=”%Y/%m/cal.php”$>,</MTArchiveList>’;
Is what I’ve got.
It’s wierd that it’s saying that it can’t find the file, since I only get this error if I point it to the correct directory. If I put in a bogus directory, I get a completely different error, which is why I’m stumped. I checked all file perms on the box, so it’s not like the app doesn’t have permission TO read the file.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Once again, dreams of work woke me up, so I figured my energy was better spent doing something entertaining instead
November 2nd, 2002 at 10:02 pm
Hi there.
First of all I’d like to say thank you for taking the time to post so many different tutorials on your site. I truly envy your design and coding skills. 
I know a bit about HTML but will admit that I’m new to CSS and PHP. I followed your tutorial for the Archives calendar and I can get the calendar to show up but when I click on one of the dates (for example: March 15th, 2002) it brings up an error page. When I check inside my folders on the server I can see the problem. When it looks to /archives/2002/10/15.php all that’s in the /archives/2002/10/ folder is cal.php. My archives are still listed in html format under the /archives directory but nothing has been moved to .php in the new folders. Can you please help me out?
Sorry to be a pain. Thank you so much for your time.
Kimberly

Wow. After running a few searches on how to do this I stumble into this page, which is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks so much for beibng generous enough to sare this with us. I’ll definitely credit you on my page.
I followed your instructions and implemented the page without incident. My only question- how would/could I reverse the calendar so that the most recent month is listed first?

I’m still awake! This sucks! But I have another MT toy, a Calendar Based Archive! And its all thanks to

My archives list is getting a little long-in-the tooth, and I’d like to find another way to package them. Just another step in my quest for a real whiz-bang blog.
January 2nd, 2003 at 1:51 pm
First of all, thanks for the tutorial! :o)
I just can’t figure out to start the calender weeks with Monday instead of Sunday.
Can you please help?
Thanks in advance!
January 2nd, 2003 at 1:58 pm
Hi Maria,
Unforatunately, MT doesn’t have the option to change which day the calendar week starts on, and so there hasn’t been an easy way to modify this tutorial or any others to fit that. But it is on the “requested feature” list, so hopefully at some point, we’ll see that as an option

Hi there! This is a wonderful tutorial. I am having issues with the same thing as Michael, and I don’t know what path I need to use.
This is what I am using now
include (’/home/janeandkevin/public_html/blog/archives/’.strrev($tok));
but it still gives me the error:
Warning: Failed opening ‘/home/janeandkevin/public_html/blog/archives/2002/12/cal.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php/share/pear’) in /home/janeandkevin.com/data/blog/cal.php on line 10
Do I just not know where my archives are?
Thanks!
January 14th, 2003 at 1:04 pm
I got the calendar to show up now. I think I got lucky. But I am having the same problem as Kimmy. I get an error page when I click on the date.
http://www.janeandkevin.com/blog/cal.php
Any ideas? Thanks again! This website is so awesome!
January 14th, 2003 at 2:30 pm
Hi Jane — do you have daily archiving turned on? If so, do you have an archive filename set there? That’s how I have mine set up, so that’s how the tutuorial was written
January 14th, 2003 at 5:04 pm
I have got it turned on, but I don’t have an archive filename. Evidently I need one.
What file name do I need to use?
Thanks so much!
January 14th, 2003 at 5:34 pm
I just somehow missed the little itty bitty paragraph about daily archiving. Yikes! I think I need to quit for the day! Thanks so much for your help Kristine. You rock!

January 25th, 2003 at 10:11 pm
I am looking to generate a page with just the current month and the next month that I can include on my front page. Using this code, I figured out the basics enough to change the layout but I am trying to figure out how to get it to just display two months. Can someone show me how to limit it to two months or is there a better way to do it that way? Thanks for the great resource by the way!

February 1st, 2003 at 2:28 pm
Kristine, I’ve set this up, but do I have to give up monthly archives and select the calendar archive as my default in Blog Config? The reason I ask is that everything looks correct on deliriouscool.org/cal.php, but the links are not finding the daily archive pages - I’m not sure they’re being generated correctly. Thanks for any thoughts!
February 3rd, 2003 at 10:09 am
If I followed all of that, will MT still create the orignal monthly archives(the ones where all entries are listed)?
That’s cool btw! I tested it and it worked. I just wanna know if I original monthly archives will still be generated or not.
Thanks.
February 4th, 2003 at 11:21 am
They should be - when I implemented the calendar, I created the calendar templates, but left the date-based archive as the default. Entries are showing up in the monthly archives just like normal. Sweet!
February 5th, 2003 at 4:43 am
I found two tutorials that provide full-page calendar displays within MT. This one seems the simplest to create, using just
February 17th, 2003 at 1:24 am
Alright I tried to follow but I kept on receiving this error:
Warning: Failed opening ‘/home/vixonne/public_html/t/archives/2003/02/cal.php’ for inclusion (include_path=”) in /home/vixonne/public_html/t/cal.php on line 9
I used the reverse version too.
It seems to be that I have the same problem Jane did, but I can’t get the calendar to show up.
Any suggestions?
February 17th, 2003 at 1:34 am
Do you have an archive filename set for your calendar archives? That’s in Blog Config under Archiving… The example uses my archive filename of year/month/cal.php as the place the calendars are saved to.
February 17th, 2003 at 1:23 pm
I’m sorry I must have forgoten my name.
I created the new one under archiving in the blog config like it said in your instructions. Then it appeared under my Monthly and date-based archive selection. So there’s two options under Monthly. I picked the new one. I don’t know what to put where it says Archive File Template though. Do I leave that blank?
February 17th, 2003 at 4:20 pm
Autumn, I actually left the old monthly archive as my default (checked off with the radio button), and I put this code into the calendar archive “file type” box: <$MTArchiveDate format=”%Y/%m/cal.php”$> Doe that help?
February 17th, 2003 at 6:49 pm
Ok that helped to get the cal.php to work right. Thanks!
Now though, on the calendar, it won’t link to the archive file. Or what I mean is that the archive file is not being stored in m.vixon.net/archives/2003/02
http://m.vixon.net/archives/
You can see the archives there and where the folders are. Any suggestions for this one?
February 17th, 2003 at 9:06 pm
Try checking your path…I saw “vixone” in the link I followed: http://m.vixone.net/archives/2003/02/15.php
February 17th, 2003 at 10:51 pm
hmm.. what do you mean? I got a “page can’t be displayed” error?
February 18th, 2003 at 5:32 am
Autumn, your path is your site address, the ‘path’ to your archives; if you used “vixone” somewhere in your calendar template, and your site address is “vixon,” the links won’t be able to find the archive pages…check how things are spelled and see if that makes a difference.
February 18th, 2003 at 12:07 pm
I am a idiot. lol.
Alright, so I fixed the spelling.. now it’s leading me to the “correct” place it should be going to. Now though, the archives are not filing themselves into the “02″ folder like they should.
http://m.vixon.net/archives/2003/02/
I have all the archive options turned on except for the weekly ones. And the radio button is marked at my original monthly archive (Date Based Archive, not Date Based Calendar Archive) if that helps any.
February 18th, 2003 at 12:10 pm
” title=” | |
That is also what I have too in the archive template. The URL seems to be right but somehow it’s not doing the job.
February 18th, 2003 at 12:16 pm
Ok.. I got it. I fixed it.
Just ignore the HTML up there.
<a href=”http://kadyellebee.com/mt/past/<$MTEntryDate format=”%Y/%m/%d.php”$>” title=”<MTEntries> | <$MTEntryTitle encode_html=”1″$> | </MTEntries>”>
in bolded with this:
<a href=”http://kadyellebee.com/mt/past/<$MTEntryDate format=”%Y_%m_%d.php”$>” title=”<MTEntries> | <$MTEntryTitle encode_html=”1″$> | </MTEntries>”>
and it works good now. Thanks!

May 22nd, 2003 at 2:54 pm
Cal, try taking out the “/” on the line 11 in cal.php
Carissa, you should try lissaexplains.com for some help on the center stuff. Since this is a script for a MT plugin, Idunno how greymatter and a plugin for MT and go together.
Anyways.. if your site was up and running I might be able to help you.
Until then, check out lissaexplains.com, you’ll get tons of support there.

Heya. I’m very new to MT and coding etc. so please bear with me. I think I followed the instructions (but obviously went wrong somewhere!) because when I go to view my cal.php file I get the following error msg in every area where I imagine a month is supposed to appear -

cristine, you need to change the script to reflect your - your path is home/cryssdal/public_html/photoblog; you need to replace home/love/public_html/hopelessromantics with your path as indicated in the instructions - that path belongs to Kristine. Does that make sense?
July 2nd, 2003 at 2:26 am
is there suppose to be a special trick on how to do this? i have read this post over and over and over again. did the steps a few times to make sure i am doing it correctly but now i have this error message.

The calendar tutorial link is broken–I’m just looking to create alternating checkerboard-style on my calendar. Any tips on a simple way to do that for a MT-minimalist?

So, should anything other than the code you posted for the Master Calendar Archives be in our Master Calendar Archives template?
You wrote “inside my formatting;” what did you mean by this?
I am just confused as to whether we need to code something else in the Master Calendar Archives and embed your above code into it, or if that is all that should appear in that particular template.
Thank you. Your work is tremendous.

I have it working. I was wondering what the additional code would be if I wanted to have each month surrounded by an equally sized box (I noticed that some calender months stretch lower than others) and if I wanted to add a lil space between calenders horizontally.
Is it possible to have a box also around the days that have entries?
Anyhow, good work with the calender page.
