I see: your print script can set the value of DateDisplayCalc (if that is working for you) into a new global field in SampleEvents and then show that global on your printing layout.

To get the found set on Event List to match the events shown in the calendar, have your print script navigate to the Source No 1 layout and call the script "Write FileMaker Source to Variable". Then navigate back to Event List or to your printable version of it and the found set will match that on the calendar.

Enjoy!

Hello, I want to print a list of the events of the day, or of the week or of the month that I have selected from the presentation "Calendar".

Because of it I need that in the header the name of the day appears, or of the week or of the month.

It is something similar to what happens on having printed from the presentation "Calendar no side menu ", but with a format similar to that of the presentation "Events List"

Well on your list you can just show the DateStart field and format it the way you'd like using FileMaker's date formatting. And you can certainly change the order of the elements in DateDisplayCalc if you need to, but I'm not sure I understand your question.

Hello John, thanks for your response.
There would be some way of showing the field "DateDisplayCalc", in order that it appears the day, the week or the month?
Thanks, Damián

Hello Damián,

I think you'll find the layout Event List more conducive to what you're trying to do. If you go to that layout in the SeedCode Calendar example file and sort the events by date, you'll see we'e already summarizing by date. Add the other fields you need and, if necessary, lengthen the body part of the layout and make the Summary and Description fields taller, setting them to "Slide up" when printing. This way they'll show more information for those lines that need it. In FM11 this "sliding" is at the bottom of the Position tab under "sliding and visibility". In earlier versions it is available in the format menu under Set Sliding and Printing in layout mode.

These changes may make the layout a little ugly in Browse mode so some people duplicate the layout and create a second one just for printing. There they can make the body part as tall as they want since they never see the layout in browse more.

Hello!
Congratulations for the last version of Calendar pro! I am a Spanish beginner in the use of filemaker pro. I have bought Calendar's last version and I have a problem to which I do not find solution.
I am interested in changing the printing format of the calendar, so that it is in day, week or month, a list appears with other information of the event, some added for me. It would be in the shape of table, not like it happens now with the field “CalendarContentReptCalc”

For example:
DATE SUMMARY DESCRIPTION CONTACT
Date Event 1 Sum Event 1 Desc Event 1 Cont Event 1
Date Event 2 Sum Event 2 Desc Event 2 Cont Event 2

The motive is that the printing format of the weekly and monthly events is not comfortable to read in paper. I have tried it with a presentation based in "Calendar no side menu" and with the script “Collapse Side Bar”, but I do not obtain it.
Forgive my not very correct English. Thank you very much and a greeting
---------
Resumen más claro en español: quiero imprimir los eventos por días, o por semana, o por mes, en formato de una lista con otros campos que he creado para los eventos.
Es decir, quiero que también en la semana y en el mes se imprima una lista, no un recuadro. He seguido las instrucciones de Adding Fields pero no lo he conseguido. Gracias

I generally open the URL in FireFox to see what's being returned. And I'd check that the FileMaker file you're working on has xsl and xml extended privileges set up. Same with the server: is XML publishing on. Etc.

I had to do a clean system installation the other day and iCal Subscription has stopped working ever since. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I have been through the installation guide and everything seems to be there and configured.

Exactly, you end up doing a few imports. You can find instructions here:

As an alternative, If I wanted to *import* data from my existing fm file as seedcode Contacts, I see that the data on the Contact page is spread between several databases.. PhoneFaxEmail, Address, and Contact. Is it possible to see all the fields I want to add to in one import window, or would you have to do it in multiple phases?

OK. You'll still want to share the file using FileMaker's sharing instead of File Sharing. For FM8.5 and 9, you "link" SeedCode to your files following the instructions here:

http://www.seedcode.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=SeedCodeCalendarPro.Integration

To get started, place the SeedCode file on the "host" machine right beside your other file and then get to work. Again, for info on what's a "host", check out the Sharing section in FileMaker's built in help for more on this.

Hope that helps,

John
