View Code For Calendar Helper

This is the view template for an action that has all the events in @events
it links to the event, too ( I used the trestle generator, and the calendar helper plugin )


<%=
calendar({:year => @year, :month => @month}) do |d|
  cell_text = "#{d.mday}
" 
  cell_attrs = {:class => 'day'}
  @events.each do |e|
    if e.starts_at.mday == d.mday
      cell_text << link_to( e.title, :action => 'show', :id => e ) << "
" 
      cell_attrs[:class] = 'specialDay'
    end
  end
  [cell_text, cell_attrs]
end
%>


Here is the controller action snippet if you need it. This could probably be improved by only finding the events in the certain month you are looking at.


  def show
    @event = Event.find(params[:id])
  end
  
  def calendar
    @year = @params[:year].to_i
    @month = @params[:month].to_i

    @events = Event.find(:all)
  end


Here is my migration for my events table.

class CreateEvents < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :events do |t|
       t.column "title", :string
       t.column "description", :text
       t.column "starts_at", :datetime
       t.column "ends_at", :datetime
       t.column "recurring", :boolean
       t.column "created_by", :string
       t.column "updated_by", :string
       t.column "updated_on", :datetime
       t.column "created_on", :datetime
    end
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :events
  end
end
