Has anyone integrated a calendar to Robust CMS

Type: Support request

I'm looking to integrate a calendar (date picker) into the Robust CMS. Has anyone done this before that can give me some guidance?

I've looked through several PHP, jQuery and Javascript calendars and haven't found a suitable script.

I need a perpetual calendar where the user can select a date and it will act as a link. That date/link will direct to a blog/news page.

Hello

Did you try this ?

FullCalendar - Full-sized Calendar jQuery Plugin

Looks pretty neat

Thanks for the calendar suggestion, Emanuel. I'll look into it. It looks like it'll do the job, I just wonder it it can be made smaller (widget size) through CSS.

The calendar works great, but one or more of the jQuery (or JavaScript - don't know which one yet) is corrupting some of the other featured on the site. Also my client just threw me a curve ball! He wants the calendar in the right column (widget area) of one specific news feed, but not any other ones.

Wouldn't that require creating a different News template that could be altered in Dreamweaver? Then making an iFrame (I did that in the homepage for a rotater script) to show the Calendar so that the jQuery and JavaScripts don't destroy anything else?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Pete

I was WAY over thinking my previous solution about creating a new NEWS template!

What I've done so far is create a new News Module and started a new News Item. Within the Description and Full News fields I've created an HTML table, inserting the news text in the left column and ad iFrame in the right column. The iFrame links to the Calendar so that the scripts do not destroy anything in the template. I've had some success with targeting the _parent page from a standard link but haven't yet figured out how to do it from within the Calendar script(s).

The script looks like this:

$(document).ready(function() {

var date = new Date();
var d = date.getDate();
var m = date.getMonth();
var y = date.getFullYear();

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
theme: true,
header: {
left: 'prev,next',
center: 'title',
right: 'today' /** month,agendaWeek,agendaDay has been omited for space**/
},
editable: true,
events: [
{
title: 'Daily Reading',
start: new Date(2012, 0, 25),
end: new Date(2012, 0, 25),
url: 'http://www.valleyfaithbook.com/daily-readings/test-daily-reading-2/'
},
{
title: 'Daily Reading',
start: new Date(2012, 2, 17),
end: new Date(2012, 2, 17),
url: 'http://www.valleyfaithbook.com/daily-readings/test-daily-reading-2/'
}
]
});

});


Anyone got any suggestions???
