Buit-in Calender show first day "Monday"

Developing with Concrete

When you use the built in Calendar in concretecms it is not possible to show as the first day “Monday” it will only starts at “Sunday”. Is there a possibility to change?

Hello. If you mean when using the calendar block, you can do that by creating a template for the block.
You make a copy of concrete\blocks\calendar\view.php and put it in application\blocks\calendar\templates\monday_start_of_week.php

Then you modify that file. Between lines 30 and 33 it shows:

<script>
    $(function() {
        $('div[data-calendar=<?=$bID?>]').fullCalendar({
            header: {

You’re going to add an option just before header, like this:

<script>
    $(function() {
        $('div[data-calendar=<?=$bID?>]').fullCalendar({
            firstDay: 1,
            header: {

The firstDay option lets you choose which day starts the week (0 for sunday by default, 1 for monday, 2 for tuesday…)

Then apply the template named “Monday Start Of Week” to your block.

I hope this helps.

Hello, thank you very much for the answer. Sorry for not being more specific with my question. I mean of course the build-in calendar at /index.php/dashboard/calendar/events! In the frontend at the blocks I got it of course. Do you have a tip?

Best regards

I’m afraid there’s no easy solution for that. It’s a single page generating a table to represent the calendar. Pretty much everything is hard-coded. You could try to override the page and changing the table header with the days of the week is pretty straightforward but then you’d have to modify the rest to make sure the whole calendar is printed accordingly and it seems more complicated than it’s worth… Provided overriding the single page is even possible.

Hello, I have already tried this, but unfortunately failed. I somehow think, after looking at the code, that this should actually work, based on the functions and translations. That is really a pity! Is extremely confusing for the customer. Nevertheless, many thanks for the hints. I come here unfortunately no further. All the best

I’ve just submitted a fix for it (see First weekday in dashboard calendar as defined by current locale by mlocati · Pull Request #11537 · concretecms/concretecms · GitHub)

I hope that the core team will accept it before they release the new upcoming Concrete version (9.2.1).

Wow, thank you soooo much!!!

Yep, the core team already accepted my changes and included them in version 9.2.1 (released a few hours ago).
