Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.This post is a suggestion to the module authors, and a hack for anyone else who wants to color-code the mini calendar block based on taxonomy terms. You can do this very simply (with no additional DB calls). NOTE: This hack only works as expected for nodes possessing a single taxonomy term: it returns only the first tid in the array. It would be a simple matter to make it return the whole array, but then the question of which term/color to display becomes an issue.
First you must add "Taxonomy Term Id" to the Fields in the Calendar View. You can exclude it from the display.
Next, edit includes/calendar.inc and look around Line 130 (I used version 6.x-2.x-dev):
(empty($items[$curday_date]) ? ' has-no-events' : ' has-events');
}
+ if($items[$curday_date]) {
+ $class .= ' tid' . $items[$curday_date]['00:00:00'][0]->raw->term_data_tid;
+ }
$rows[$week][] = array(
'data' => $content,
'class' => $class, 'id' => $view->name . '-' . $curday_date);
date_modify($curday, '+1 day');
Now your mini calendar will create extra classes that can be themed in your style.css file:
.tid1 { background: limegreen; }
.tid2 { background: yellow; }
.tid3 { background: cyan; }

milos.kroulik CreditAttribution: milos.kroulik commentedUnfortunately, this isn't the right solution, because it only works for multi-day events (hapenning in 00:00:00). Is there any way to build $items[$curday_date] array for, say, 08:00:00?

As If CreditAttribution: As If commentedEverything is possible with PHP ;-) You just have to be willing to make the hacks yourself. I realize this isn't a "solution" that fits all circumstances. That's why I called it a "suggestion" (for the module authors) not a "patch" or anything like that. I figured the authors might decide to take this idea as a starting point and develop it more fully (as it would have to be, to be considered worthy of committing). For everyone else, it's just a "hack". So hack away, brother!

milos.kroulik CreditAttribution: milos.kroulik commentedOK, thanks for explanation. So here is my ugly (and probably lame) hack (I am not really a programmer).
I even can't make proper patch, so I enclose the code from my calendar.inc directly (same lines as above):
I assume, that granularity of event start dates is 5 mins and that events start during the day, not night (of course, you can also generate those, if you wish).

lucio.ferrari CreditAttribution: lucio.ferrari commentedI have already posted something like this in http://drupal.org/node/674126 , but then improved the code a little bit.
To export any taxonomy vocabulary as a CSS class:
* added a 'taxonomy:term' hidden field in my calendar view;
* overrode calendar.mini.tpl.php by placing this in my theme's folder:
To handle multiple terms, one should resort the $view->result before the foreach loop, as to have the most important/specific tid as the last one, since the last class overrides the others in the style sheet.
Or one just writes a CSS rule for each combination ( .my_term_1 .my_term_2 { ... ; } ).

luffy48 CreditAttribution: luffy48 commentedHi !
Sorry I'm new user of Drupal and I would like to know what do you mean by "* added a 'taxonomy:term' hidden field in my calendar view;" ?
Thanks

lucio.ferrari CreditAttribution: lucio.ferrari commentedHi, I hope I'm not too late ;-)
in calendar view's edit page (admin/build/views/edit/event_calendar - or whatever)
I added a field: 'taxonomy: term', in which I checked 'Exclude from display'.
Then, to find out what variable I needed, I put in my template:
<?php print dpm($view->result); ?>which is a great way to find out how views works under the hood :-)

Wassim Ghannoum CreditAttribution: Wassim Ghannoum commentedHow to do it for the calendar page and not mini calendar, what is the code?
N.b: for drupal 6
Comment #8
lucio.ferrari CreditAttribution: lucio.ferrari commentedCheck this out:
I didn't check if it actually works, I only pasted the relevant code in the seemingly appropriate area of calendar-month.tpl.php.
Replace "my_term_1" etc. with your actual tids/terms, replace "node_data_field_myfield_field_myfield_value" with your actual date field name, then save the code as calendar-month.tpl.php, move it in your theme folder, clear theme cache and you're done.
Please let me know if it works!

L.F.
Comment #9
Wassim Ghannoum CreditAttribution: Wassim Ghannoum commentedthank you for your reply,
i tried the following:
- in the view i create a term id field in the view and marked is a excluded
- i create a calendar-month.tpl.php in my theme and pasted the following code in it:
- then i cleared the cache but it's not working
Comment #10
lucio.ferrari CreditAttribution: lucio.ferrari commentedAre you positive the field name is actually only "field_date"? Mine is "node_data_field_data_evento_field_data_evento_value"...
That and the term names (like "Congés") are not valid CSS class names: only (a-z, "-", "_").
Hope this helps

Comment #11
Wassim Ghannoum CreditAttribution: Wassim Ghannoum commentedThanks for your help,
i was using the field_date (name of the field name from the content type).. now i printed all variables using
<?php print dpm($view->result); ?>and i changed term names, so my code is the following:
But it's still not working :(
Comment #12
Wassim Ghannoum CreditAttribution: Wassim Ghannoum commentedany news about this issue?
Comment #13
lucio.ferrari CreditAttribution: lucio.ferrari commentedI'm sorry, I think I don't have any...
Just my 2 cents:
I notice you use the same field for $inizio & $fine, while this should not cause problems,
check whether you have a begin and a end date field.
You can also check if your $terms array is populated by:
dpm($terms);
after the lines where it should be...

Neslee Canil PintoThe D6 branch is no longer supported so we're closing this issue. If you think this issue still exists in D7 you can open a new one.
