I have finally managed to get some scripting finished for the calendar feature. Attached is an English Narrative Report skin with it included. Also attached in a 'standalone' calendar skin 'calandarskin.zip' that can be used as a custom skin to generate the data to populate a calendar on your own web page. It is based on a pared down version of Narrative skin and has a modified Config.xml that includes just two template files, Init.htm and calendarevents.js. The skin generates two other files in addition to calendarevents.js , layercalendar.js which is a modified version of Rick Pike's script and a prototype calendar.htm file that you can use as the basis of your own web page. Note that in order for the hyperlinks to work you will need to change the 'base' tag href attribute to point to the URL where your Narrative Report pages are located.Both reports take fixed text , including month & day names, from Dictionary.xml so that it can be translated to other languages if required. I have some more work to do on the calendar at a later date. I would like the styling to be handled via the style.css stylesheet rather than being hardcoded in layercalendar.js. Also it should perhaps generate two or more years of birthdays/anniversaries rather than one year as at present. Update 24/08/07 Amended skins

Thanks Hugo. I was perhaps a bit hasty in posting (as usual!). I had only tested with Firefox which works fine. As you have found IE (I tried IE7) doesn't display the calendar. I'll work on the IE issue. Don't you just love cross-browser compatibility!  As regards your first problem, possibly you have a marriage date without any year? I will need to check for this.

Many thanks Ron, you are right, it's a marriage date without year.  I also download a firefox browser, so I can finally see it...  It's a perfect solution for somebody like me with a non-stick memory... (I always forget almost all birthdays  Congratulations Ron! It's excellent. A suggestion... the calendar it's only filled from the generation date and on... could it be filled from the beginning of the year? or at least from the beginning of the current month? Regards, Hugo

Well done Ron and thanks a lot.
But can you please look again into the background color of the calendar table. Now it is transparent and if the overall background of your pages does not match, the calendar does not look nice. My suggestion is to fix the background of the calendar table(days) to the beige level (in calendar.htm), the same as if your overall background has no background at all. Easy to check if you change the background in the style sheet. Changed this in my report.
Ron, tried the calendar for a Japanese report, which did not work properly with regard to the links. Japanese characters are not used in file names and it will use either the full name plus ID or only the ID for individuals and family-and-famID for families or a complete filename, depending on the couples` names.

After nearly tearing my hair out I have finally discovered the cause of the IE failure. Rather an obscure error that was not flagged. (For the technically-minded I had used a reserved word, export, as an identifier in an object literal. IE discarded the script file, Firefox didn't mind. Amended skins are attached to my earlier post. Also fixed issue with birth/marriage dates with no year. I will work on further improvements as time permits. Ideally I'd like to have tabs for months rather than the existing hyperlinks.maru-san (8/13/2007)

I looked into this and discovered a # missing before the colour code in layercalendar.js so should be OK now. There will be more control once I convert to using CSS styles.

I need Dan to look at this and tell me how the html filenames are generated by GenoPro. In the Narrative report they are available in the 'Href' property but this is blank in the standaalone report, hence the requirement to generate them. Currently I just strip accents & punctuation and use the outputfile template from Config.xml

Thanks RonWhen I was trying to generate a report using the new skins, I could see the calender but not the events. The same problem also on the Stand-Alone version. The Calendarevents.js, is not containing any data except : months=['','January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];
weekdays=['','Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat'];
oDic = {
'view':'View',
'changes':'Apply changes',
'print':'Printer friendly',
'export':'Export events displayed',
'filter':'Filter events',
'jump':'Jump to month'}
Of course , The GNO file that I used, was with many individuals and dates.

Hum, the calendar only has 'live' events i.e. birthdays for those still alive and anniversaries for couples still together. Dates must be complete dates with day month & year.There could be an issue with locale. The script uses the vbscript function IsDate to check for valid dates. Does your Windows locale match your GenoPro date formats? Perhaps I should recode to avoid IsDate. Update: scripts amended to avoid IsDate

Perhaps I should recode to avoid IsDate. Update: scripts amended to avoid IsDate I went to the Control Panel of WinXP and changed the date format from Hebrew to English(US). Now I can see the events. On RC6 it seems to work also on the Hebrew date format only on one of my gno files. I tried to generate the report from a big GNO, and it's not working. I can't see the events. I attach the file. I've also noticed that it's possible to see only future events. for example: My birthday is on 23 Feb. I could see this event only at 23 Feb 2008 and not at 23 Feb 2007 (Current year). Also, when I click on the event link, it goes to "Harry Potter" family tree and not to my tree.(I've checked the stand-alone version) on the full skin, the link is broken.
