I hope someone out there can help me:

I'm trying to create a semantic small month view for the calendar. The problem is that I keep getting an error:

Couldn't call method view on asset for url: offices/e/example/staging/calendar Root cause: HTML::Template->output() : fatal error in loop output : HTML::Template->output() : fatal error in loop output : HTML::Template::param() : attempt to set parameter 'events' with an array ref - parameter is not a TMPL_LOOP! at /data/wre/prereqs/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/HTML/Template.pm line 2997

The real problem is I can't stop the problem loop and the loop and variable descriptions don't seem to match the variables and loop names in the templates (i.e. dayOfMonth is listed as the tmpl_var but dayMonth is the actual var etc...)

I plan to post a few calendar templates based on this to the Add Ons section so any help will hopefully benefit us all.

Here's the template:

<tmpl_if admin>
    <p><tmpl_var adminControls></p>
</tmpl_if>

<tmpl_if displayTitle>
    <h2><tmpl_var title></h2>
</tmpl_if>

<tmpl_if description>
    <tmpl_var description>
</tmpl_if>
<div class="calendar">
<ul class="calNav">
        <li><a href="<tmpl_var urlDay>">Day</a></li>
        <li><a href="<tmpl_var urlWeek>">Week</a></li>
        <li><a href="<tmpl_var urlMonth>">Month</a></li>
        <li><a href="<tmpl_var urlSearch>">Search</a></li>
</ul>
<ul class="calControls">
              <tmpl_if editor><li><a href="<tmpl_var urlAdd>">Add Event</a></li></tmpl_if>
             <li><a href="<tmpl_var urlPrint>">Print</a></li>
              <li><a href="<tmpl_var urlIcal>">iCal </a></li>
            <!--&bull; <a href="#">Subscribe</a>-->
</ul>


<ul class="yrMonthNav">
      <li><a href="<tmpl_var pagePrevUrl>" class="yearNavLast">&laquo; <tmpl_var pagePrevYear></a> &bull;</li>
        <tmpl_loop months><li class="monthLink<tmpl_if monthCurrent> current</tmpl_if>"><a href="<tmpl_var monthUrl>"><tmpl_var monthAbbr></a></li></tmpl_loop>
    <li>&bull; <a href="<tmpl_var pageNextUrl>" class="yearNavNext"><tmpl_var pageNextYear> &raquo;</a></li>
</ul>
         
         
<div class="calContainer"> 
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="mCal">

<thead>   
        <!-- day names -->
          <tr><th class="monthTitle" colspan="7"><tmpl_var monthName> <tmpl_var year></th></tr>
        <tr>
          <tmpl_loop dayNames><th><tmpl_var dayAbbr></th></tmpl_loop>
          </tr>
<thead>
<tbody>
        <!-- the grid -->
        <tmpl_loop weeks><tr>
        <tmpl_loop days><td class="<tmpl_if dayMonth><tmpl_if events><tmpl_unless dayCurrent>event <tmpl_else>curEvent </tmpl_unless><tmpl_else><tmpl_if dayCurrent>current </tmpl_if></tmpl_if><tmpl_else>nonDay </tmpl_if>">
            <tmpl_if dayMonth>
               <a class="number<tmpl_if events> moreButton</tmpl_if>" <tmpl_if events>id="event_<tmpl_var dayMonth>" onmouseover="return showEvents('overlay<tmpl_var dayMonth>');" </tmpl_if>href="<tmpl_var dayUrl>"><tmpl_var dayMonth></a>
             <!--/events-->
            </tmpl_if> <!--/day-->
        </td></tmpl_loop> <!--/days-->
        </tr></tmpl_loop>
 </tbody>
</table>
</div>
    <tmpl_loop weeks><tmpl_loop days><tmpl_if events>
      <div id="overlay<tmpl_var dayMonth>" class="moreDisplay">
         <div>
            <ul>
            <tmpl_loop events>
            <li><a href="<tmpl_var eventUrl>"><tmpl_var eventTitle></a><br/></li>
            </tmpl_loop>
         </ul>           
      </div>
   </div>
</tmpl_if></tmpl_loop></tmpl_loop>
</div>

The empty loops did the trick.

Would you mind explaining a bit more about Template::Toolkit? I don't see the optioin and a site search doesn't reveal much.

Thanks.

You can use additional template engines in WebGUI. You have to install it, add it to the webgui.conf file for the site, restart WebGUI and then set the Template Type in the options for the style template. The default is HTML::Template
