I can’t seem to commit the calendar_date_select plugin to my repository.
It’s installed and working great on my app, but when I add and commit it
I get the following svn error.
I’d recommend a pure Javascript solution because then you don’t have to
muck with extensions necessarily. There are a number of them out there,
including my favorite, Dan W.'s LowPro DateSelector behavior: http://danwebb.net
I guess it would be nice if one could include such a datepicker field
as an option in the mailer extension. Properly formatted date fields
submitted
thru a form make the downline processing easyier. I am hooking up the
forms
response to some activeresource models in an external rails app.
I’m using Tim’s calendar widget in my page event extension. You’ll
need to do your own wiring, which probably means forking the mailer
extension to integrate it. I’m very close to releasing my extension
but I’ve been diverted to other projects for the last two weeks. Once
I release my extension you can see how I integrated it, if you wish.
I have yet to publish it but I will do so soon (in the next two weeks,
I hope). I will make an announcement when I do, which will include a
link to the github repo so you can fork away if you wish.
Would this be an event management extension by any chance?
Sort of. Let me explain briefly what it does currently and where I
intend to take it. The primary reason I wrote it is to establish
events that happen at a certain time, such as a monthly meeting. http://boulderruby.org will be the guinea pig for this extension.
Right now I hack the date for the meetings but eventually they’ll be
driven off datetime data. The idea is that you link a page to a
datetime that you store in your DB. You’ll have an admin tab that
shows you all events for the current month (current implementation
though that will probably be expandable). I also have a calendar tag
that you can publicly publish that will show all events in a month
that link back to the page.
I do have a second release that will come later that changes the event
data from a simple datetime to a datetime range. So you could say
your event starts at 9am on Friday and goes to 5pm on Saturday. It
would also allow multiple pages to be associated with the same event
model. I haven’t done anything more than think about these features
so it’s just in my head.
I just need to polish the admin tab and release this extension. I
also owe Sean a Radiant patch and I’m still getting my github legs so
there’s a few things ahead of it in the Marty queue.
Cheers,
Marty
