UDATE
Here's my next attempt.
<td class="$Today $OutOfMonth $CurrentDay $HasEvent">
<% if Events %>
$Number
<% control Events %>
<a href="$Event.Link" title="{$Event.Title} - {$Event.Conferencier}"></a>
<% end_control %>
<% else %>
<a href="" title="Pas d'évènements pour cette journée">$Number</a>
<% end_if %>
</td>
if $Number is declared after <% if Events %>, it displays dates correctly. As pic below describes (more below pic)
But it causes problems:
1) as it has no <a href> it BLOCKS the hovering of the event under the numbering
2) therefore, cant be clicked to get to the $Event.Link nor hovered to access $Event.Title
So i REALLY need to access that $Number INSIDE this
<% control Events %>
<a href="$Event.Link" title="{$Event.Title} - {$Event.Conferencier}">$Event.Number</a>
<% end_control %>
is there such a thing as $Event.Number????
I cant use $Event.Dates because of repeating events (it displays ALL dates that the event occures).
