Hi Franky —
For consideration: I’m sure most websites monetize their calendar pages with Adsense ads or something similar. So a cool feature would be to ‘refresh’ the ads being shown on the full calendar page every time the “month” navigation is changed by a visitor. (Currently, only the calendar itself changes when moving from March to April to May and back; the ads posted on the page around the calendar stay the same.)
Two possible ways to make it work:
– create a refresh call for the entire full calendar page when the back/next arrows are clicked (that would be the best-case option, as it would refresh multiple ad units upon each nav click);
or
– offer an insertion line for Adsense code just below the full calendar header that shows << Month Year >> (not quite as good as option #1, as it would only refresh one ad unit)
Just something to consider…
Nav suggestion P.S. — I’ve modified my site’s eme_calendar.php to add the words “BACK” and “NEXT” to that full calendar header section, i.e. << BACK Month Year NEXT >> (see http://neohgolf.com/tournament-calendar/ ). You might consider making the wording next to the arrows SOP, as it clarifies the navigation for the ‘cognitively challenged’. (I actually had a person email me saying they could only see one month’s worth of events because clicking the arrows didn’t register with them. Sigh.)
I do it via ajax just to avoid full page refresh … if you want that, you could try to change the jquery and also force a refresh on the ad (personally I don’t like ads 🙂 ) Search for “j_eme_calendar.get” in eme_calendar.php for this.
I’ll consider the Previous/Next suggestion 🙂
That’s coding that’s over my head. How much to write the code to make the suggestion work?
Sorry, but I have so much other feature requests to complete, so this one is low on the scale for now.
