calDate Plugin

Dress up your site with these cool little calendar page date items. Replace the standard Joomla dates for content items with these. Perfect for a blog page. Specify which sections, categories, or pages you would like them to appear on! If there is any interest, it will be revamped with more control over css.

* Updates:
-Version 1.0.2 now uses the $mosConfig_locale to format the dates
-Version 1.0.4 allows disabling bot for IE6 (for template css conflicts)
-Version 1.0.8 Fixes some bugs with user modules on the page.

* Tips & Tricks
-For calendars like the ones on my page, see: http://joomlicious.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=24&topic=103.0

Thanks for this nice extension - I installed it without any problem and it worked immediately. Looks really nice on the site as well.

Perhaps I had my setting wrong, but I installed this mambot and it crashed my site. The problem would not disappear until I uninstalled it. I am running J. 1.0.13
Nothings showing up...I have no clue. I used it in joomla 1.0, it was fantastic...but its not working with RC1.

Great little plugin that makes a site look less boring , thank you.
Ok this is great plugin if your wanting to change the look of your dates and move them to the left, You definitely arent stuck leaving the date the way it looks now, you can make your dates look anyway you want with a little tweeking. Mark was immediately helpful to one small problem I had and had a fix for me the very same day. Great Support!

Loved this bot from the minute I installed it. It add that something extra to an otherwise boring screen focusing viewers eyes directly at the articles. Had big surprise when a friend loaded site on IE6 pre SP1 as the whole page just floated to the top of the screen :-) The mambot and my Rocket Theme template apparently didn't agree. Several hours later and the author had modified the mambot to include and option to to turn of calpage for older browsers. Great mambot, great support!

Yes, it is very good. I had installed this mambot on two of my websites.

this is a great plugin!! keep the good work :>
Works perfectly on the standard J! install date structures. Has a few issues with stuff like the a8e fork and other designer/accessibility projects though.

very excellent...

I've looking the mambot or other code that will change date into graphical image. Thanks god, i found this mambot.

I hope everyone MUST download this mambot
I love the blog kitschyness of this bot but must warn people that because it is positioned absolutely by default, if you have categories listed underneath titles they will be hidden beneath the caldate div - solution: hack the core content to allow left-padding the category name or float the caldate div left (though this will push your contentpane right)

Works like a champ!
Apparently this bot doesn't work with the Cache in the global configuration enabled. When I turn the Cache on, the date appears in the regular format again instead of the caldate-Look. Otherwise I like it - anything that gives more flexibility in appearance and takes us away from the standard Joomla look is good.
The calendar did not show the first time I installed it. With the great support at the authors website, I was able to fix the problem (which was in my CSS) and now the date looks fantastic. I would definitely recommend this bot to anyone and everyone. Thanks for contribution Mark!

I also liked the presentation on the site this is inspired from (mezzoblue, check it out!), thanks for making this so easy to use in Joomla! Installed, published, it works! Weel done.

Looking good and it's easy to customise!

I'd been contemplating writing this into my site every time I came across it online. It works great. Editing the css is no problem at all, as it's all blocked up in the code. Nice job! Recommended if this is what you are after. Seems to be a little cleaner if 'position' is changed from 'absolute' to 'left' on the sites I have implemented it on.

This is a great add-on, I think that a little bit more control over css would be great.
