echo calendar selected month

[Sandro]

I’d like to show current month displayed on the calendar table.

How can I echo it? I’d use wordpress built in but this would not change when I use next previous buttons to switch between month on the calendar. So how does calendar plugin deal with this?

Hi Sandro,

We have a function available to display the current month (tribe_get_current_month_text()) but it does not update when navigating months. Unfortunately there is no built in way to do this without some customization and I cannot help you with this. You might try researching the parse_url PHP function to parse the month in the URL and updating this when it changes.

I hope that helps and sorry I cannot offer up more here.

Your answer was awesome, I managed to do it quite easily with your suggested trick of using URL getting last part of it, and in case there is date displaying it.

Thanks!

Glad to hear Sandro. Mind sharing your code?

Thanks,

Here is the code:

format(‘F’),’holidayge’);
} else {
_e(date(‘F’),’holidayge’);
}
?>

[Sandro]

format('F'),'holidayge');
} else {
_e(date('F'),'holidayge');
}
?>

I cannot paste my code correctly on this forum.

Hi Sandro, we recommend pasting your code externally to somewhere like:

Or one of the other many code snippet services online.

Thanks,

For those of you who use PRO and are trying to do something similar I threw this together for a project I’m working on. We didn’t need the dropdown forms but we liked the rest so we added a little ajax of our own.

NOTE: We use Google CDN for jQuery so the $ notation wont work with default WP just change to what you prefer.

When the change happens the first time it shows the default arrow for a split second then never does it again. Pretty odd. We’re actually changing it to use arrow graphics and using .data() instead of .html

Thanks for posting that Dennis!

Sandro, would you be able to try posting your code again? Your solution seems to be just what I was looking for.

Alternatively, Dennis, could you let me know how I might do it with WP instead of jQuery? I’m a relative newbie.

[Dennis]

Well you have to use jquery. The issue is WordPress writes in no-conflict mode instead of standard jquery notation. I always switch out with Google’s CDN version of jQuery so I never write in no-conflict mode. Basically, when I write $() you would replace it with jQuery() You can read more here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#jQuery_noConflict_wrappers
