Being fairly new to this great cms, I've got quite a 'simple' question:

Have been able to install umbracoBlog and umbracoblogCalendar, but the calendar only shows current date as a hyperlink to a umbraco 'Blog Date Folder'? Am I using the wrong package? Am I suppose to code this myself so that each day that has 'Blog Post's shows as a hyperlink to the corresponding document.

Many thanks for your replies.

I haven't used the blog package, but you can take a look at my MiniCalendar package:

Perhabs it can accomplish what you are looking for.

If you are using the original blog package that included the calendar, I had modified it to work a bit better. It is set up to use 'date folders' like the blog package was designed, and aslo had a bit of smart? navigation in place.

Here is a temporary link to it. You will have to copy the files into their respectful locations and create the macro by hand.

If you are talking about the blog-calendar I created, the behaviour you describe is intended.
You cannot bind a link of 1 day to 1 document since you can make multiple posts on 1 day
Hence the link to the blog-date, so yes, you need to have a template for the blog-date-folder to show all entries made on that day.

Hope this clarifies a bit.

Hey all,

Many thanks for your replies.
I think I have enough info to get me started on this.
Hoping to get my website up and running in the next couple of weeks.

Hi Peter,

Long time no see.

Yes, the calendar I mentioned was a modification to the one you originally developed. I added some modifications to correct a couple bugs, and to allow it to work with a blog section rather than a blog site (if that makes sense).

Yes, its been a while indeed. But we all know how real life can be a pain sometimes :(
It didn't mean Inever looked at Umbraco or here at the forums though ;)

About the calendar, I thought in my version you could also enter the startnode, so it should work with a section of a site?
Thinking of it, I'm probably understanding you wrong :hmm:
