If I understand the problem, as you had '/spacer.gif' highlighted, that is your concern.

Because the td/cell code for that is within a row which is within a table defined as 640 px wide, that is why it appears as 640 wide. In fact, _that_ table is within another table of 640 px wide.

I didn't install the common directory, because with XOOPS 2.2.x, all that code is already defined in a standard XOOPS path, ....... found that out after stumbling upon some piCal code.

I also need to change the dates to American format if possible ("May 21" instead of "21 May") throughout the blocks and content.

The same file (/modules/piCal/class/piCal.php ) has functions called 'get_middle_dhi' and 'get_middle_dh', lines 2646 to 2674 as follows:

function get_middle_dhi( $time , $is_over24 = false )
{
    $hour_offset = $is_over24 ? 24 : 0 ;

    $hour4disp = $this->use24 ? $this->hour_names_24[ date( 'G' , $time ) + $hour_offset ] : $this->hour_names_12[ date( 'G' , $time ) + $hour_offset ] ;

    return sprintf(
        _PICAL_FMT_DHI ,
        $this->date_short_names[ date( 'j' , $time ) ] , // D
        $hour4disp , // H
        date( _PICAL_DTFMT_MINUTE , $time ) // I
    ) ;
}



// unixtimestamp
function get_middle_hi( $time , $is_over24 = false )
{
    $hour_offset = $is_over24 ? 24 : 0 ;

    $hour4disp = $this->use24 ? $this->hour_names_24[ date( 'G' , $time ) + $hour_offset ] : $this->hour_names_12[ date( 'G' , $time ) + $hour_offset ] ;

    return sprintf(
        _PICAL_FMT_HI ,
        $hour4disp , // H
        date( _PICAL_DTFMT_MINUTE , $time ) // I
    ) ;
}

and the method in which the date is represented, is by the 'date' function. If you checkout:

http://php.planetmirror.com/manual/en/function.date.php

there are plenty of examples. To get the format you want it is

$today = date("M j");              // May 21
