Hi There,

As I'm quite new to drupal and want to help my friends setting up a page for their holliday home, I'm looking for some documentation on how to set up the Availability Calendar Module in Drupal. I've managed the page till so far: www.krugerestate.nl, but the availability calendar just looks like......well don't need to say anything more.....

Is the setting up done through views??

Thanks vor any help.

Alex

Title: Installation Instruction » Write and include documentation
Version: 6.x-2.x-dev » 7.x-3.x-dev

It is true that this module, especially the 6.x versions, lacks some documentation, but you can find some in the readme. But what is wrong on your site is that some basic styling is missing. The installation should have given you a message about visiting the styling page (admin/settings/availability-calendars/styling).

For 6.x, I'm not going to write the documentation anymore. but I am leaving this issue open for 7.x, though I won't be able to write it soon myself ... So anyone who wants to share his/her experiences, be welcome. Texts as well as sample code are welcome. Eventually I will publish the documentation in html using the advanced help module, so both plain (unformatted) and html formatted texts are welcome.

I actually found the availability Calender Styling page, under configuration, calender, config then styling tab. I have changed some of the setting s but nothing has changed.

basically the calender is show crushed up with none of the functions working. I have deleted my main css page and this had no effect.

In D7 it is "admin/config/content/availability-calendar/styling", but that should also be easy to find via the admin menu or admin toolbar and admin pages.

That post crossed your one. So you did find the styling page, but did not set a width and height for the cells. try something from 28 to 30 pixels. That will normally do fine.

Aside: the fact that the table cells don't get a "correct" width automatically, has to do with the fact that to allow for split day rendering I had to place absolutely positioned span's in the cell and such elements don't influence the width of their parent(s) if that is set to auto.

The custom styles are not loaded. I get an internal server error if I try to load the generated css file. Did you check the "generate ..." checkbox on the style form? Did you correctly configure your server? (we are talking about the file sites/default/files/availability_calendar/availability_calendar.css. Possibly the webserver does not have permission to generate the directory or file.

yes its all there and seems correct to me,
Im sure its css related but cannot figure it out, any chance you can share your CSS sheets with me for the clander and see if that fixs mine also?

No it's not all there: "internal server error" on loading the css file http://1043498814.9651307.temp.prositehosting.co.uk/sites/default/files/.... Go figure out what is wrong there.

this is now visable the issue was the .htaccess file if you re name this you can then see the file. this file seems to be produce by the calender when you chnage and save the .css file via the modules styling.

however although this is availble now it has made no difference to the orginal issue of the calenders not looking right?

any more ideas?
