Hi Guys,

I have been trying to put actual calendar on home page.
As mentioned in one of the threads, have put following code in Homepage.php in controller block -
function GlobalCalendarWidget()
{
$calendarPage = DataObject::get_one("Calendar"); // If you have multiple calendars, specify an id or url segment.
return new CalendarWidget($calendarPage);
}

But really dont have any idea how to call it in template.
Can I do tht? And if yes, whats the syntax for calling it in template.
Have tried lot of options like $CalendarWidget...but that still does not work..

I know its very basic thing...but dont know how to do that.
Need your help!

Regards
Anaya...

Hi UncleCheese,

Even I had tried $GlobalCalendarWidget, but after flushing the pag, blank page appears.
As asked, here is the homepage.php code -

<?php
/**
* Defines the HomePage page type
*/

class HomePage extends Page {
static $db = array(
'AnnouncementText' => 'HTMLText'
);
static $has_one = array(
);

   function getCMSFields()
   {
   $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
   $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Announcement', new HtmlEditorField('AnnouncementText', 'Announcement'));
   return $fields;
   }   
}

class HomePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
function LatestNews($num=3) {
$news = DataObject::get_one("ArticleHolder");
return ($news) ? DataObject::get("ArticlePage", "ParentID = $news->ID", "Date DESC", "", $num) : false;
}

function UpcomingEvents()
{
return DataObject::get_one("Calendar")->upcomingEvents(5);
}

function GlobalCalendarWidget()
{
$calendarPage = DataObject::get_one("Calendar"); // If you have multiple calendars, specify an id or url segment.
return new CalendarWidget($calendarPage);
}
   
}
?>

Code for homepage template which is in Layout folder -
<div id="contentLeft">
$Content
$Form
</div>
<div id="contentRight">
<h3>News</h3>
<div class="marquee_text"><marquee scrolldelay = "100"><p>$AnnouncementText</p></marquee>
</div>
<div class="NewsListHomeIn">
<% control LatestNews %>
<a href="$Link" title="$Title" class="newsTitle">$Title</a>
<div class="news_img">$Photo.SetWidth(75)</div>
<div class="news_text">
$Content.LimitWordCount(10)<br/>
<a href="$Link" title="Read more on &quot;{$Title}&quot;">Read more &gt;&gt;</a>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<% end_control %>
</div>
$GlobalCalendarWidget
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>

Hey,
I cant find out whts wrong in php code???
PHP error means in Homepage.php page...right???
Any idea abt wht could be wrong in the php code...

Regards

The GlobalCalendarWidget() function needs to be in a controller. Put it in the Page_Controller to have the most flexibility. Then you can put it on any page you want.
