Anyone experiencing this? Did I miss something obvious?

the calendar has no links on it when it's set to pull from the main category, when it's set to pull from the child category, it does link the dates to posts ... any ideas?

TIA

I think the calendar only get items from the category itself you select, not including her children.

I've modified the code to change this behaviour. It's accomplished by altering the SQL query generated for the task 'calendar' in the itemlist model file

I can contribute this changes if the author consider it interesting.

Hi. Indeed the calendar doesn't fetch items from children categories. But this is not a bug. This is how it was designed to work.

I agree: this is not a bug but a design decission.

Anyway, it's very easy to add a parameter to the tool and change the model file so the user can choose the behaviour of his/her interest. My offer was in this way.

Hi Juan Pablo:

Thanks for you interest. I answer to you in English, so others can read it.

I've generated a modified version of this great tool that accomplish this task and some others:

- Fix the bug that prevent deleting attachments from the front-end item editor.
- Add an component view that show a category as a list of linkable tittle/attachment grouped by subcategory (I call it "Press dossier"). I've also modified the calendar module with a parameter that choose to show a day/month in this way.
- Add a "Save & New" button to the front-end item editor

I'm also planning a modified calendar module with two new links in order to forward/rewind a whole year at a time.

I'll send to you the modified files tomorrow (I'm not at work now). Once again if the author or someone else is interested in this development, I can contribute it.

Ok, thank you very much for your answer, and sorry for posting in spanish.

Thanks.
