  • hi chris,
    in sql.txt I saw that Dumping data for table `calendar` only goes to 2014 – does this mean that the calendar only works until 2014?

  • Hi, how can I usse this in Joomla?

  • Hi there,

    Thanks for the script, looks nice!
    I’ve got the following situation; I would like to use this script to check accommodation availability.

    In my database, info is stored, after a few joins, as follows:

    start-date
    end-date
    status

    Having start and end date normally saved as 2010-12-01 etc. I found out how to show only the current month in a row, which I like about this script! Now the following.. Can I flag certain days as busy/occupied when saved as below?

    Data example: Occupied from 2010-12-01(start-date) till 2010-12-14(end-date).

    Thanks in advance!

  • I’m getting the talk thing when I try to get into admin too. How do I verify my .htaccess settings??? I have no idea what that means as there is no htaccess file in the download.

  • Well, very nice, im gonna test it, and ill use it, this is exactly what im looking for!

  • Hi,

    I’m having the same problem as Gote and some others on here..

    Setting up fine, then go to log into Admin and doesn’t accept the pass…

    I’ve reinstalled a couple of times and double-double checked the user and pass, and double checked the pass stored in conf.inc.php.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks..

  • everything’s fine. easy set-up, fully functional. great work! I just can’t remove the admin area login link in the view mode. any ideas?

  • im having the same problem, it wont let me log in.
    Can you explain how to fix?
    cheers

  • How does the MySQL table set the dates?
    Because I already got a system that uses a table with the field:
    From (date)
    To (date)
    Name (Text)
    And I want a calendar to pick the dates from there. So I need to know a little more about the table structure.

    Thank you very much.

  • hi,
    ive installed the booking calander ann everything installs find,
    however when I login as a admin and select a date/ a state
    and then submit, it never saves anything to the DB,
    ive gone throught the code and cant work out why its not saving.

    have you any ideas,

    thanks

    greetings bert

  • Everything seems to work very well. Thank you.

    Two questions: The admin pages gives me this error message “Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: simplexmlelement in /…/calendar/functions.inc.php on line 196”. Can you tell me what I have to do to get rid of it.
    Can you tell me where the colors for the calendar are set, as I would like to change them.

    Thanks again.

  • I’ve changed the colors. The problem with the error message remains.

    Thanks.

  • Hi!

    Very nice calendar, works perfect for me.
    Would it be possible to make this multi-user so that users could register and add their availability?

    – Chris

  • Hi Chris, I want to modify month like year. So month can select like year. Could you advise me, which script need to modify. Thank you.

  • Very very very good work.
    Thanks a lot.

  • hi, how can i use this calendar for more than one user? ie: online availability calendar for rental website. each user has its own rental property and availability calendar.

  • How do I download?
    If I press the downloadlink nothing happends.
    If I try to subscribe email, it says that option has been disabled :-(

  • thank you kreci, i have modified your calendar to my needs in my website and works like a charm .

  • How do I place this on a HTML website?

  • Hey
    Just wanted to say Thanks! I searched the internet for days looking for a nice availability calendar but couldn’t find one that was easy to work with, til I found yours.
    I have modified it a little. I didn’t like the fact that in August, the 8 month, that 2/3 of the calendar was displayed but kinda useless. So I started the Cal at Aug, or what-ever the current month is, and still display 12 months. So if Aug is the current Month, it will display Aug-Year to July-Year+1.
    For me, it makes it a little easier as a room booking app. I also added rooms to the table so you can view a rooms availability.
    And I am in the process of converting it MySQLi.

    Anyway .. Thanks again
