Comic Genesis Forums

the CSS calendar for both my comics is non functional.

It'd help if you linked to both your comics and their respective calendar archives.

I have the same problem on my main page http://corneralley.comicgenesis.com. I put the CSS calendar next to my news box but it isn't showing up at all.

In my HTML code I use the tag ***csscalendar*** but when I look at my page source it says: <!-- Bad tag: csscalendar --> . Is the Css calendar tag no longer in use?

Another odd problem is that the advert doesn't always show up, and when it does it is moved slightly to the left.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Well, I just had a look at the cgwiki entry for Autogenesis and noticed this:

These do a different job

***year_calendar/_csscalendar*** -- Put in a year (ex: 2005) for year, and it'll give you a yearly list of that webcomic. The difference is that 2006 won't require adding a 2006_calendar tag -- it's already taken care of.

....uh, I don't know what that means....but maybe you people who use CSS do?

Thank you for the link!
I wasn't aware of the change. ***calendar*** for just showing the latest month still exists, which makes it seem odd that the css modified calendar for the same function does not. With the CSS version I could remove the "W" link that shows up automatically in the calendar and which in the case of my Webcomic leads nowhere. I can switch to the non-CSS tag but it is not optimal.

The list has made me aware that I've been relying on another defunct tag:
in http://corneralley.comicgenesis.com/archives.html ***daily_archive*** becomes <!-- Bad tag: daily_archive -->
This one, it is explained in the list, did not make the cut. This seems a shame to me. My comic only updates once a week, so the full monthly calendar takes up a lot of space needlessly. The list form was nice. I preferred it to the drop down menu. I don't readily know what alternative to use that will fit my current Web design.

sooo now ... how do i fix this without being forced to use that awful standard archive calendar? i liked the CSS calendar. i had it set just right to fit amazingly well on my site...
i used ***css_calendar*** and **big_csscalendar*** none of them work now

oh well in the meantime i guess i'll have to insert the standard archive

I'm getting some feedback that folks want the ***css_calendar*** tag back. There's a few issues with that.

First, the code was duplicated in the old AutoKeen system; if we fixed the origional calendar we had to fix the new calendar. If I put it in, it's going into the ***calendar*** tag.

Second, there's namespace issues. I don't know what will knock up against what users have. Is anyone using any CSS classes that are prefixed with "cgen-cal-"?

Third, you can massage the calendar already by wrapping it in a DIV and using advanced CSS selectors (table td ...). It's not too specific, though...

So the deal is, if you want to style the calendars, I can put in the CSS class styles, but it's going into the ***calendar***tag.

can you somehow remove the "w" column? It doesn't do anything for us anyway

No prob. That should be removed anyway since we don't have the old KeenPremium system anymore.

Any chance of getting back the ***daily_archive*** as well?
I liked having a list of all comics that did not take up to much space (my comic updates one a week so a full archive with monthly calendars is not an efficient use of space).

I'm hearing crickets chirping on if they're accepting of using just the plain-old calendar tag w/CSS styles shoved into it...

...and I'm going through the code now to remove the W's. It also looks like I'll need to rewrite the ***calendar*** tag and reintroduce the ***css_calendar*** tag. It's not quite up to snuff for CSS work, so I need to update it. Meanwhile, css_calendar will now work, but will give you a ***calendar*** tag output instead.

Now, what I need to know from EVERYBODY is:

Are all of you willing to have the following CSS styles laid out, all prefixed by 'cgen-cal-':

• prev-month
• curr-month
• next-month
• other-month-day
• this-month-day
• todays-comic-day
• the-week (disabled)

Let me know here. PLEASE! Better to give feedback to me.

The standard calendar tag WILL break my design. BADLY.

Any CSS-functions you can put on the calendar are very welcome.
Will there be any way of creating a complete list of comics without an entire set of monthly calendars?
