Does anyone know if this plugin supports a weekly/daily view? This looks great but I think it would be better if it could support more of the features that google calendar has for example.

Regarding the plugin, as with my original code you can customise the event view by passing a block to the calendar helper (along with the configuration options). i.e.:

calendar event_calendar_options do |event|
"<div>#{h(event.name)}</div>"
end

That's really neat and thank you for creating the plugin! However, is there a way to create links on the event strips to link to other pages? Like clicking on a strip would redirect you to another page where it listed more detailed event information?

I took your example from gist, adapted it for my needs, and just extracted it to a plugin on github.

Thanks for the help!

Kevin,

Good point. I don't have the schema off hand, but it went something like...

Events:
id(int), calendar_id(int), name(string), created_by_id(int), updated_by_id(int), start_date(datetime), end_date(datetime), repeat_id(int)
Calendar
id(int), name(string), created_by_id(int), updated_by_id(int)

The key bits being the Calendar and the calendar_id, start_date, end_date, and name on the Event.

Obviously modify to suit your needs :)

Hope that helps! :)

I appreciate you efforts here but you said that your gist contains all the code that you used for an example app but where is the migrations data?

Did you think in write a new plugin with your changes?

Thanks

Apologies. I have posted a GIST which contains all the code i used in an example app, if that helps with your implementation..

I just followed your GIST to the letter and got a nasty MySQL error :(

For this particular implementation, i started off with http://github.com/febuiles/.... Then ended up merging most of it to my application helpers.

I'm a complete newbie, so my apologies. Do I install calendar_plugin (topfunky's) and then copy and paste the code from the gist over the top? Specificially I'd love to know how to integrate this into my Rails app.

For exporting to iCal, i suggest using the iCalendar gem - http://icalendar.rubyforge.... - which is pretty simple and straight forward to use (using an ics mime handler), especially if you use an event schema as suggested by the gist.

This is good. What about going the extra step and exporting it to iCal, Google Calendar, etc? Do you know of any plugins/gems/tutorials on how to go about tacking that?

Thanks
