Duplicate the event module? Duplicate the calendar?

I need to duplicate the event module. I would then have the normal event calendar (event.module) and my "party" calendar (mypartyevent.module). I could have implemented this by adding an event flexinode and a party flexinode and have them appeared in the event filter on one calendar, but I don't want filters.

I would like TWO separate calendars with TWO separate database tables, and TWO separate modules. Has anyone tried this successfully ??

Call a module php function from wgsmarty or xtemplate?

On phptemplate I know I can just call a module php function, but I don't know how this can be done for the others.

Create hyperlinks involving user id

I am sure this is treated somewhere on this website, but I couldn't find it... so forgive me for posing an obvious question. Bear in mind that I don't know much - if anything - about MySQL and PHP.

My problem is that I cannot figure out how to create a hyperlink to a URL involving the user ID of the logged in member. In the standard setup the link to 'my account' or 'my blog' does this: it replaces the $uid in the URL ./q=blog/$uid with the actual ID of the member, for example. But just using variables like $uid in the link doesn't work,.. so how do I do this?

Robots.txt - what how where?

Hi all

In my admin stats I can see that the file robots.txt is being reached for constantly by spiders.

My questions are:
What is robots.txt?
What is it for?
Should I have it?
What use is it?
What should be in it?

Your help is much appreciated,

cheers

'Syndicate' not visible, despite block being activated

Hi all

I have a problem with the 'Syndicate' block. Despite it being enabled it is not visible on the site.

Am I right in assuming that there should be some kind of "XML" feed icon displayed once the block is active? And would I also be right in assuming that this would be the way to syndicate my content to other sites?

Thanks for your input,

cheers

Change the block display of event.module

Hi all!

How do I change the block display of the event module? Right now it shows a countdown in brackets after the event name, but this doesn't work perfectly. For some reason the node name is displayed in the middle of the counter, so I get something like:

Big party at the harbor! (23 (event)days)

I would like to get rid of the node name display, so that it would just say (23 days). Or, even better, I would like to change it so that it gives the date and the event:

9 december - Big party at the harbor!
