Open Events page in new window with custom size

At the moment I have the calendar set to open a new page when clicking an event. It opens a full page though. Is there a way I can set it to open a page that is 400px by 400px for example?

You can use javascript:window.open(...) statement in the url. Search the net for information about this method and code samples. For example you can find this method call in Tigra Calendar.

Thanks for the response.

I thought of using the javascript, but I am not sure where to put the window.open statement. I have tried it in multiple places in the calendar.php file and all I ever get is

Parse error: Unexpeted T_STRING on line x (x=line where script is)

Where/which file should the window.open statement be in?

Thanks again.

In Events Editor you have the option to provide the URL of the page for the date. The text you enter there will be placed in <a href="..."> under the date. This is where you place javascript:window.open(..) statement.

Also you can make changes to the script's code (where calendar is generated) in order to keep standard event list, but make it open in sized window. Instead of <a href="url"> the generated code should be <a href="javascript:window.open('url', other params)">

Contact us with customization request if you find it difficult to make those changes to the script.

Putting the javascript:windowopen in the Event redirect URL is a great solution. However, when I put the line

javascript:window.open('events.htm','Events','toolbar=0,location=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,statusbar=1,status=1,width=740,he ight=470')

into the URL: link under Event Editor and click Update, it turns the line into the following:

javascript:window.open(\'events.htm\',\'Events\',\'toolbar=0,location=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,statusbar=1,status=1,wi dth=740,height=470\')

it also prefaces the code with http"//, making the javascript fail. It looks like the event URL does not agree with the single quotes. When I try double quotes, it turns the javascript line into a single /

Do I need to encapsualte the javascript command in something to avoid this? Or and I missing something very simple?

Is it also possible to display the events on the same page as the calendar (e.g. under the calendar) instead of opening a new page?

Thanks.
