tips and tricks for movable type

Girlie, how would you make the background show up when you use your (remember this) php code for putting two months of calendar in a row. (note: leading "less than" sign replaced with begin parens so as to make it visible here!)

(div align="center" class="calendar">
(?php
(MTArchiveList lastn="2" archive_type="Monthly">
$monthlyarchivereverse[] =
"

(tr>
(th abbr=\"Sunday\" align=\"center\">Sun
(th abbr=\"Monday\" align=\"center\">Mon
(th abbr=\"Tuesday\" align=\"center\">Tue
(th abbr=\"Wednesday\" align=\"center\">Wed
(th abbr=\"Thursday\" align=\"center\">Thu
(th abbr=\"Friday\" align=\"center\">Fri
(th abbr=\"Saturday\" align=\"center\">Sat
(/tr>
(MTCalendar month="this">
(MTCalendarWeekHeader>
(td bgcolor=\"#00CC00\" align=\"center\">
\">
(MTCalendarIfNoEntries>
(MTCalendarIfBlank> (/MTCalendarIfBlank>
(MTCalendarWeekFooter>
(/MTCalendar>
(/table>";
(/MTArchiveList>
$monthlyarchive = array_reverse($monthlyarchivereverse);
foreach($monthlyarchive as $temp) {
echo $temp;
}
?>
(/div>

I'll give that a shot, but you know, I was hoping to use both (greedy little bastard that I am): the today tag for one color, the ifentries color for another color...

I tried putting all three in there and it just said "huh"? (or something more serious and PHP relevant)

And, yes, the code is from that post (verbatim). What can I say, I copy your code whenever I can :)

Gratefully and graciously,

Todd

Girlie,

Thanks for the info. How would you go about changing the color of the individual text of the cell for an entry? (As with Todd's comment, the leading angle bracket has been replaced with an open paren.)

I tried changing the code to reflect an additional css class:

(MTCalendarIfEntries>
(MTEntries lastn="1">
(a class="calendarlink" href="($MTEntryPermalink$>">($MTCalendarDay$>(/a>
(/MTEntries>
(/MTCalendarIfEntries>

But that didn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy

Well I gave it a whirl as my 1st mod to my blog. It gave me two colored blocks on either side of the date that had an entry which I do not know is the intended effect (I assume that the bgcolor was suppose to be behind the number).

holiday - try editing the background for .calendar in your stylesheet

hi ,
please u can give me how should i hang up all they mobile normale i am relly thanks to u will u please help me for

Hi, I've tried adding the bgcolor in the index template as you posted above but the code came out as text. I did remember to include the space as you said. I'm thinking there should be a way to do it in the CSS. Anyhow, any ideas?
Thanks. :)
