The live deploy of WebLearn has a bug in that is doesn't work in Safari
(were you using Safari?). This has been fixed in our SVN repository and
should be in our December upgrade.

Newer versions are in SVN:

Calendar code (not mine):
https://svn.oucs.ox.ac.uk/projects/vle/weblearn/trunk/tomcatadd/webapps/bodington/calendar.js
https://svn.oucs.ox.ac.uk/projects/vle/weblearn/trunk/tomcatadd/webapps/bodington/calendar-en.js
https://svn.oucs.ox.ac.uk/projects/vle/weblearn/trunk/tomcatadd/webapps/bodington/calendar.css

My decorating code is in:
https://svn.oucs.ox.ac.uk/projects/vle/weblearn/trunk/tomcatadd/webapps/bodington/utils.js

findCalendars() is called from globalOnLoad() which is set as the onload
 method for all pages. globalOnLoad() does other things as well. The
better way todo this is to create an onload event and then you don't
need to edit the onload attribute on each page, but I didn't get around
to changing it and we already had the editing widget done through the
onload attribute.

I've asked sysdev about opening up our SVN to public read (done) so you
can just grab a copy of our build and then you should be able to grep
for datetime to see which templates you need.
