I'm looking to color each catagory a different color - either the background or the letters or whatever.

I searched and came upon this:
>>

switch ($cat) {
case "1":
$color = "#0000ff";
break;
case "2":
$color = "#00ff00";
break;
case "3":
$color = "#ffffff";
break;
case "4":
$color = "#ff0000";
break;
default:
$color = "#dedede";
}


Then place $color (or whatever variable you choose to use) into the bgcolor tag for that location.

>>>

But I'm not seeing how to connect it to a catagory ? What am I missing ? What file would that be in ?

thanks

Donna

The problem you're going to run into is that the category information never actually gets pulled into the month display. It's only used to filter out what you don't want shown. To get the category info, you'll need to modify the main db query in the middle of month.php and add the data to the $day_array assembly, then pull it apart in the day loop and highlight category specific items as desired.

I only want it for the week display.

I want a wek-at-a-glance that will show 5 different catagores for everyday.

Like this:

So If I can either make boxes/rows like that - or just color code the event by catagory.

The above code was from your posting a few years back - does it work ? Where do I tell it which catagory gets which color.

Sorry to be dense - just getting into this new code.

thanks

Sorry, I missed this one.

You're giving me way too much credit if you think I can remember a post from a few years back!

I take it this is the one you're referring to?

Looking back at it, I'm not entirely sure where I was headed with that thought. I don't think it's as easy as I was suggesting there.
