The purpose of the event calendar is to assist those who keep the annals up to date. Unlike the event calendar shown on the Main Page which lists only twenty events and only 1 month into the future, the calendar on this page shows all events that have been entered into the database. Events are entered using the eventcal: magic word, and are almost always associated with the creation and maintenance of an award organization page.
Setting an event
Setting an event using eventcal: is as simple as providing a name, date, and confirmation status for each event. The following fictional example shows three events. The nominee event, when displayed, will list a yellow “11” to indicate the completion of the event’s documentation. The winner event will display a white “11” to indicate that the event has been confirmed for that date, and that the documentation will be completed on or shortly after that date.
{{eventcal:
| event = [[The Lucius Prize|Lucius]] nominees
| date = 2007-02-11
| confirmed = done
| event = [[The Lucius Prize|Lucius]] winner
| date = 2007-03-11
| confirmed = yes
}}
After the winner has been announced, the the nominee event is set unconfirmed to the same day the following year. This will display a gray box to indicate an approximate date that needs confirmation. Some award organizations announce a date nearly one year ahead, but most cannot be confirmed until one or two months before the event. Some organizations never set a date.
{{eventcal:
| event = [[The Lucius Prize|Lucius]] winner
| date = 2007-03-11
| confirmed = done
| event = [[The Lucius Prize|Lucius]] nominees
| date = 2008-02-11
| confirmed = no
}}
The calendar on the main page should be balanced, serving the needs of those seeking recent announcements and those anticipating future announcements—ten completed events and ten future events.
Displaying a calendar
An eventcal: is used both to set events and display the calendar. When the argument “event” is used as in the examples above, the calendar displays only those events that have been set. Click on any of the events in this page’s calendar to see an example.
Valid arguments are:
- style = CSS codes to modify the calendar’s appearance.
- limit = Specify the maximum number of events to show. The default is twenty. Enter a negative number to show all events.
- daysahead = Specify the maximum number of days into the future. The default is thirty-one days. Enter a negative number to show unlimited days.
To simply display the contents of the event calendar database with default values, include eventcal: with no arguments. Valid arguments are:
- style = CSS codes to modify the calendar’s appearance.
- limit = Specify the maximum number of events to show. The default is twenty. Enter a negative number to show all events.
- daysahead = Specify the maximum number of days into the future. The default is thirty-one days. Enter a negative number to show unlimited days.
This is the eventcal: used on this page.
{{eventcal:
| style = "float:right"
| limit = -1
| daysahead = -1
}}
