BUGS FOR THE ABOVE FIX

• if a CALENDAR takes data from another CALENDAR using a list mode, it will fail. Just include the same base data and it will work.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

If you have dynamic entries in a document, and use this document as the entry source for %CALENDAR%, the dynamic entries will only be displayed when you use %CALENDAR% directly in the same document. If you use it from another document or include the document, the dynamically generated entries will not be seen.

Example

• WebLeftBarExample has

  %CALENDAR{topic="CalendrierActivites" web="Main"}%
  

• WebHome has

  %CALENDAR{topic="CalendrierActivites" aslist="1" days="30" datenumberformat="   * $year-$mo-$day"}%
  

• CalendrierActivites? has

     * 1 Wed - [[http://linux-neuchatel.he-arc.ch][linux-ne]]
  %SEARCH{ "^Activite[A-Z0-9]"
                       scope="topic"
                       web="%WEB%"
                       regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified" reverse="on" limit="100"
                       format="   * $formfield(EventDate) - [[$web.$topic][$formfield(ShortTitle)]]"
  }%
  %CALENDAR{topic="CalendrierActivites" web="Main"}%
  

Results

• only CalendrierActivites? when seen directly has all of the entries

Had to fix this so I could include calendars from external sources.
