On a roll

March 24, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Another 150 words. I feel so much better! I really have to get back to doing this every night. I get unbelievably grumpy when I haven’t written in weeks.

    Is there a way I can modify the 2nd example to make events expire a day AFTER they happen (so people can see what they missed yesterday). TIA!

    figured out my own answer, just modify the $now time to use yesterday in the comparison:

    date(“Ymd”,time()-24*3600);

    tested working, I think, not sure how it handles issues like the 1st of the month minus 1, etc

    Thanks Steph… hey can you take a peek at my question on the MT forum about showing mini calendars for future events, but only the next 3 months, instead of the last 3 future month stored.

    MT insists on showing October, November, December

    when it should be showing August, September, October. I suspect I am going to have to show ALL months and filter out using PHP – not sure how t handle it when it crosses years. This also might be a problem when there are years worth of past entries. Cannot seem to find a plugin to work around this, CalenderEx has the same issues.

    Thanks for all the info and help here. I have successfully extended the MT full screen calendar concept to display future events and gave it the ability to create new entries for any given date with a single click:
