Ahhh,
I have an events database that lists the details of an event and the date
range of
number days the event runs. If it's a one day event, eventdate is the same
as eventdate2.
I've got the events outputting over a calendar so all the events show a
single listing
of each event. I want to display the event in each day within the date range
within
a calendar.
Should I be using cfloop instead?
Any ideas would be so helpful. Thanks.
OUTPUT CODE
cfoutput query=Events
tr
td class=date_cell#LSDateFormat(Events.EVENTDATE,'MMM')#
strong#LSDateFormat(Events.EVENTDATE,'DD')#/strong/td
td class=name_loc_cell#Events.EVENTNAME#/td
td class=name_loc_cell#Events.EVENTLOCATION#/td
td#Events.EVENTDESCR#/td
/tr
/cfoutput
For things like this, sometimes it can be good to have a utility table
that lists the dates that you need to view...so just have a table
something like...
tblDates
thisdate datetime
populate that with every day from some way back date to some way forward
date...then it makes it very easy to join against your events table and
find all events within a date range and have them assigned to the
correct date(s)...
SELECT a.thisdate,b.eventname,b.eventlocation,b.eventdescr
FROM tblDates a LEFT JOIN Events b ON a.thisdate = b.eventdate AND
a.thisdate = b.eventdate2
WHERE (limit tblDates by some date range)
ORDER BY a.thisdate,b.eventname
Then you can just use cfoutput and group to output a calendar of events
that shows all of the days in the range...
cfoutput query=Events group=thisdate
h1#thisdate#/h1
ul
cfoutput
li#eventname#BR#eventlocation#BR#eventdescr#
/cfoutput
/ul
/cfoutput
