Hello,

we need help with this topic.

We have extended the event-calender with extra filters according to this tutorial: http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=recipes:extending_the_event_calendar&s=dropdownfield%20cms%20editor

We would like the datefilter on frontend to set default dates to "today" as starttime and "today + 1 month" as endtime, (ie: Start: 25. Nov 2009 End: 25. Dec 2009 )instead of "today" as both start and end as it is now.

Does anyone have the solution for this?

Thanks,

Ã…sel T.

The start/end filters take default values that represent the current view, so if you want the end date to show today, and the end date to show today +1 month, then range for your calendar view has to be today - today+1 month. So probably the easiest thing to do would be to create an index() function to redirect to that range.

In your Calendar subclass:

function index()
{
$start = date("Ymd");
$end = date("Ymd", strtotime("+1 month"));
Director::redirect($this->Link("$start/$end"));
return;
}

I think that will work. You may have to tweak it a bit.

Thanks, it works right out of the box :-)))

Exactly what we needed!

best regards,
