Create a new file with the following contents, upload it to the ACP and run it, that should solve the problem:
hello
i see on other portals here
the calendar is smaller
i have to cut two days off mine to make it fit right
how do i make the calendar smaller ?
to make it match the rest of the tables on the portal
to look like everyone elses
Currently you need to edit the calendar_smallmonth_X templates, this issue has been fixed in the next version which hopefully I can release today or tomorrow.
Would it be possible to decide which calendar to display? Or better yet, multiple calendars?
Currently the first calendar a user has access to is displayed, so if you have calendars with IDS 2, 4 , 7, 9 and the user has access to 4 and 9 then 4 would be shown.

ok
i will just wait for the new version then
i'll look in this thread for updates
mysql error: Unknown column 'phrasegroup_vbindex' in 'field list'
The problem occured when trying to run the phrases part of the install, so somehow i need to get that whole file run properly, sorry im not making much sense but im sure you can gather what has happened, hopefully.
