Hi,

I try to use the Java Script  showCalender() function on the front end. This works fine on the back end


But: If I use the same lines on the front end I just get an error message that 'showCalender' is not defined.

Anyone an idea how to use that functionality on the front end?

Thanks,
Uwe

hey Uwe

im just learning php and joomla right now, and I came across the same problem. What I did was I added this code to the top of the view.html.php file where I want the calendar to show up:

// includes for mini-calendar
$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
JHTML::script( 'calendar_mini', 'includes/js/calendar/' );
JHTML::script( 'calendar-'. $lang->getTag(), 'includes/js/calendar/lang/' );

I wrote " 'calendar-'. $lang->getTag() " instead of just " calendar-en-GB " because eventually, I might add the french language..

Hi mtlnews,

Thanks for that! I will try it at work tomorrow. Thanks a lot for your help,

Uwe

Hi mtlNews,

Your solution did not work for me as I ran into the same problem. But I compared the JS includes in the admin area and the front page where I tried to use the calender. One libraries is missing on the front end - don't ask me why...

Anyway: I added the following lines and everything seems to work fine now:



Thanks for your replies,

Uwe
