HI All,

Please can anyone tell me whether there is a rails plugin/app that  
allows creation of a calendar that can render events. I am not talking  
about a calendar date picker of which there are several, but something  
more along the lines of [http://www.backpackit.com/calendar](http://www.backpackit.com/calendar) where an  
html/css calendar can be rendered with dates highlighted.

Many thanks

Anthony

Check out [GitHub - p8/table\_builder: Rails builder for creating tables and calendars inspired by ActionView's FormBuilder.](http://github.com/p8/table_builder/tree/master). It works  
similar to form\_for. It requires objects with a method that returns a  
date.

\<% calendar\_for(@tasks, :year =\> @year, :month =\> @month) do |t| %\>  
\<%= t.head(‘mon’, ‘tue’, ‘wed’, ‘thu’, ‘fri’, ‘sat’, ‘sun’) %\>  
\<% t.day(:day\_method =\> YOUR\_DATE\_METHOD) do |day, tasks| %\>  
\<%= day.day %\>  
  
\<% tasks.each do |task| %\>  
\<%= h(task.name) %\>  
  
\<% end %\>  
\<% end %\>  
\<% end %\>  
\<% end %\>

Hi:

Try this link. We recently deployed a calendar for our in-house  
intranet where users can sign up for classes(events). This will give  
you the calendar and event side of things…
