Im trying to get the calendar ($CalendarWidget) to show up on the homepage, it parses in the template, but does not show anything. Likewise, when i goto the event calendar page, it just says "Loading" where the calendar is supposed to be.

Any help would be nice

Probably a javascript conflict. Can you list all the scripts you have running on that page?

heres the javascript files for the homepage, and event calendar page.

i removed all of my scripts and it still did not show up...

Probably need to get rid of all that Prototype stuff. Is Firebug throwing any errors?

thats all thrown in by silverstripe :(

this is only thrown on the events_calendar page

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMViewCSS.getComputedStyle]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: http://localhost/silverstripe2/event_calendar/javascript/jquery-1.2.6.min.js?m=1237483490 :: anonymous :: line 22" data: no]
[Break on this error] jQuery.swap(elem,props,getWH);return Mat...form")||elem.options)ret.push(elem);else

Those are some pretty nasty looking errors that will kill any scripts you have scheduled to run after them. I'd work on getting rid of those first. If you take CalendarWidget out of your template, does the page render error-free?

ok, started over and re-upgraded my installation (after pulling it from the production site) and got the Calendar to show up on the Events Calendar page, but still cant on the homepage

when i goto /home/ with ?showtemplate=1 this is what shows up where the $CalendarWidget is

271 <h2>Event Calendar</h2>
272
273
274 SSVIEWER;
275 $val .= $item->XML_val("CalendarWidget",null,true) ;
276 $val .= <<<SSVIEWER
277
278
279
280 </div>
281 </div>
282
283 </div>
284
285
286 SSVIEWER;

any ideas?
