Questions answered by this recipe

How do I place a small calendar displaying the current date on a wiki page?

This recipe will do just that, and only that.

Description

A small simple calendar, ONLY.

Appearance by default is such:

Image displays both day start styles, and bottom date separators, examples

• Left -- (default)
  • $feralsimplecalendar_weekstart= 0; // Start on Sunday;
  • $feralsimplecalendar_bottomsmalldatesep = '-'; // 2007-03-15
• Right:
  • $feralsimplecalendar_weekstart= 1; // Start on Monday;
  • $feralsimplecalendar_bottomsmalldatesep = '/'; // 2007/03/15

Installation

Download feralsimplecalendar.phpΔ and copy to cookbook folder. Add to config.php:

feralsimplecalendar-20181207.phpΔ is an update to the 2007/03/15 version that addresses “Warning: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is no longer supported” issues (tested on pmwiki-2.2.110).

feralsimplecalendar-20260401.phpΔ is a rewritten Markup version compatible with PHP 8.2.

Rename the downloaded file to feralsimplecalendar.php.

To use this recipe, write (:feralsimplecalendar:) whereever you want the calendar to show.

Customization:

Start on which day:

• Start on Sunday
  • $feralsimplecalendar_weekstart= 0; // Start on Sunday;
• Start on Monday
  • $feralsimplecalendar_weekstart= 1; // Start on Monday;

Starting on Sunday is default.

Bottom Small date separator:

This is the date separator for the small date at the bottom left of the calendar;

• 2007-03-15
  • $feralsimplecalendar_bottomsmalldatesep = '-'; // 2007-03-15
• 2007/03/15
  • $feralsimplecalendar_bottomsmalldatesep = '/'; // 2007/03/15

I believe any char can be used but I have only tested with the above.

The 2007-03-15 separator format is default.

Day names:

• By default we use standard USA abbreviations:
  • $feralsimplecalendar_dayname = array("Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat");
• The long version would be:
  • $feralsimplecalendar_dayname = array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");

Change as you desire...

Colors:

Simply define $HTMLStylesFmt['feralsimplecalendar'] before you include feralsimplecalendar.php;

This should contain:

• div#feralsimplecalendar
• table.feralsimplecalendar
• table.feralsimplecalendar caption
• table.feralsimplecalendar th
• table.feralsimplecalendar td
• th.feralsimplecalendar-daynames
• td.feralsimplecalendar-blank
• td.feralsimplecalendar-today
• td.feralsimplecalendar-day

See feralsimplecalendar.php for the default values.

Notes

The calendar code is pretty much blank slate; All my tests show it working/perfect but don't bet your life on it. ;)
