This page

Currently this page is a testing ground for the web team's efforts to integrate the MIT Events Calendar. Click the two links below to see the work in progress!

• monthly - same as the link that is now in the navbar under "acf 03-04"
• as a list - unlike the embedded calendar below or on the current members home page, this shows events prior to "today" (from Jan 1 2004), so it's kind of archival.

Known bugs

• [1. unwanted calendar CSS] - events.mit.edu is inserting an unwanted CSS that is not within our control. Our customizations to events_calendar.css override most of the settings, however any properties specified in the unwanted CSS but not in our customization will pass through. Correcting font problems becomes a pain since we will have to define the correct font-family and other properties for every line in events_calendar.css. This is particularly a problem because they redefined <P>. - not reasonably within our control, belongs to events-admin@mit.edu
• [2. font inconsistencies] - fonts on pages passing through events.mit.edu have fonts inconsistent with the rest of the ACF site. notice the "massachussetts institute of technology" when clicking on the two full page links above. - this bug depends on bug 1.
• [3. "type" argument not passed by list_ext.pl] - the script on events.mit.edu for the list-view of events is not passing the type argument to the urls linking to the single event views, hence the links on the list-view is broken for anything depending on a .shtml-based template - not within our control, belongs to events-admin@mit.edu
• [4. broken links on full page events list] - this bug depends on bug 3.

Embedding mini calendars

Here's a test of embedding the pages. Note that these embedded pages are not exactly equal to the full pages, the embedded pages are located in the www/cal/ subdirectory. The full pages are in the www/ directory. The embedded version of the calendar does not contain the year-long navbar like the full page does. The embedded list view only shows events from "today" to the end of the term.
