elevation / event_calendar Goto Github PK

Hello,

I'm trying to use your event calendar plugin to display a series of deals that we run over the course of a month. I've implemented it to the best of my ability in our setup, and when I attempt to insert "= event_calendar" into the appropriate view, I get the following error:

undefined method `[]' for Thu, 01 Sep 2011:Date

I'm not really sure what's causing the problem. Here's the setup. The LiveDeal model is what takes the has_event_calendar:

has_event_calendar :start_at_field => 'start_time', :end_at_field => 'end_time'

I have a calendar_controller that I'm using to handle this and some other calendar functions. The method in that controller is as follows:

  def market
    authorize! :read, :deals

    if !params[:id]
      flash[:notice] = "You must select a market"
      redirect_to request.referrer
      return
    end

    @market = Market.find(params[:id])
    @month = (params[:month] || Time.zone.now.month).to_i
    @year = (params[:year] || Time.zone.now.year).to_i

    @shown_month = Date.civil(@year, @month)

    @event_strips = @market.live_deals.event_strips_for_month(@shown_month)
  end

My calendar helper, with a few slight modifications to represent our paths:

module CalendarHelper
  def month_link(month_date)
    link_to(I18n.localize(month_date, :format => "%B"), {:month => month_date.month, :year => month_date.year})
  end

  # custom options for this calendar
  def event_calendar_options
    { 
      :year => @year,
      :month => @month,
      :event_strips => @event_strips,
      :month_name_text => I18n.localize(@shown_month, :format => "%B %Y"),
      :previous_month_text => "<< " + month_link(@shown_month.prev_month),
      :next_month_text => month_link(@shown_month.next_month) + " >>"
    }
  end

  def event_calendar
    calendar event_calendar_options do |args|
      deal = args[:event]
      %(<a href="/admin/reports/deal_details/#{deal.id}/" title="#{h(deal.subject)}">#{h(deal.subject)}</a>)
    end
  end
end

And finally the call in the view (using HAML):

= event_calendar

My guess is that for some reason the helper method isn't actually getting any "event" data to parse. If I try something like:

= event_calendar(@event_strips)

I get a "wrong number of arguments" error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

New option to display events marked as 'All Day' differently from those that aren't.

For example, iCal:

• uses a filled in bar for All Day
• bullet point for others

This would necessitate an additional 'All Day' field on the Event model.

I used the command:

bhelx$ rails generate event_calendar --use-jquery

and it tells me:

Using jQuery for scripting
create public/javascripts/event_calendar.js
............
............

But it still uses prototype. Afterwards I run the command:

bhelx$ rails destroy event_calendar

and it tells me:

Using Prototype for scripting
remove public/javascripts/event_calendar.js
............
............

this is Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.0.9

How hard is it to make this plugin DB agnostic? Does it have to rely on ActiveRecord?

My use case has up to 20 events/day and increasing. I notice that cycling back in time by month takes a lot of time to load the page. I understand it's doing a lot of logic per day, but it is currently crashing Chrome and is choking Safari noticeably. Anything I can do to improve this?

Hi,

I just tried to do something like this

rails g event_calendar illness --use-jquery --use-all-day --use-color

and ended up with a model illnes and a migration with the same name instead of illnesses.

Using rails 3.0.9 on ruby 1.9.2.

I implement event calendar on my rails application (Rails 2.3.8) and I need to show my search result on event calendar. But default it loads all the events at the database so how can I specify the events that I need to show on calendar ?

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the routes help. That worked...Now I have another error.

Error:

ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `last_month' for Wed, 01 Dec 2010:Date):

Here's my calendar helper. (using Rails 3). When I comment out the :previous_month_text, it works but otherwise it gives me the error above.

def event_calendar_opts
{
:year => @year,
:month => @month,
:event_strips => @event_strips,
:event_height => 16 ,
:day_names_height => 20,
:event_padding_top => 0,
:first_day_of_week => @first_day_of_week ,
:month_name_text => I18n.localize(@shown_month, :format => "%B %Y"),
:previous_month_text => "<< " + month_link(@shown_month.last_month),
:next_month_text => month_link(@shown_month.next_month) + " >>" }
end

Thanks

I havnt found anything in the docs but the definition of regular events (every year, every x month) would be good.
For "every year" some boolean tag could be enough.

I have an app where I'm using this calendar for each user. I have added user_id column in my events model but how can I filter the events by user_id? So that it will only show the events for the user who is logged in and not everybody else's event?

I'm using a custom event model name, and I'm having trouble getting the event strip links to change their path. They still link to "/events/" even though I have "projects" and not "events". I tried changing line 239 of calendar_helper.rb but it has no effect. Where is this being set? Thanks in advance, G

Line number 95 -- file event_calendar/lib/event_calendar/calendar_helper.rb we have
day_names.concat(I18n.translate(:'date.abbr_day_names'))

day_names is empty array and class Array don't have concat method. Ruby ruby 1.9.3dev (2010-07-01 trunk 28517) [x86_64-linux] say "Cannot convert String to Array".

I'm using the edge code (from github) because I'm running a Mongoid project and to make things more difficult I'm using RightJS (http://rightjs.org) framework to do the highlighting. So I re-wrote the javascript for event_calendar and noticed that the JS looks for a class starting with .ec-event-event_id, however that is the ID of the div and not the class. I believe this makes the HTML not valid due to the fact that IDs have to be unique and on events that last for 2 weeks, you'd get the same ID twice.

P.S. I will try to copy your mootool JS setup for RightJS so you can support that JS framework as well. However need to make sure that what I did will work first. ;)

Hi,

I'm not sure if it's a specific bug with my application, but the events for the upcoming month don't fully show up on the current month. For instance if the events are on the 27,28,29,30,1,2,3 dates. The events show up correctly for all the dates except the 3rd (On a Saturday). The events on the 1st and 2nd show up fine. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be like this.

Thanks.

I am using event_calendar on my own model (not Events) that doesn't contain a "start_at" or "end_at" field. Actually, it contains quite a few date fields and I want to be able to pick and choose which ones show up on the calendar. However, it looks like event_calendar is hardcoded to use these two fields.

Is there any way to make these field names selectable at runtime? That way I could use my existing model and/or build several calendars each with different types of "events".

The title says it all I think. Just started a new rails project with event_calendar, and suddenly all my events disappeared from the calendar view. I tracked it down to the :first_day_of_week => 1 setting I added in event_calendar_opts. I'm also using the use_all_day feature, if that might have something to do with this problem.

If an event name is longer than the calendar cell's width, have the name wrap onto multiple lines, as needed. Currently the event name stays on a single line, with the extra text hidden. Keep this the default functionality.

Complicated due to how the calendar calculates row heights. It assumes one line per event.

Also, set a limit to how many lines it can wrap?

I had to download v2.0 and install it to get this to work in Rails 2.3.8. It seems some of the generators got broke when you made it compatible with Rails 3. Just a heads up.

You could make it easy to have more then one type of event by make the following changes:

in app/helpers/calendar_helper.rb use event.class.to_s.downcase.pluralize instead of hardcoding the name of the model name

and in vendor/plugins/event_calendar/lib/event_calendar/calendar_helper.rb make the event_id be event_modelname_id so the hover highlight will not highlight events from different models by using event.class.to_s.downcase

Hi,

I am using event_calendar gem in my rails 3.0.7 application. It showing error as
"Uncaught TypeError: Object function Event() { [native code] } has no method 'observe'" at line 5 in event_calendar.js.
Any fix for this error?

Thank u..

It would be nice there was an option to have the height resize with it's containing element.

For example, as the window height gets smaller, the calendar height would shrink as well, up to a point. Similarly to how the width resizing now works.

I am using MongoDB with MongoMapper adapter. I keep getting "undefined method `has_event_calendar'" error as my Event class is not descendant from "< ActiveRecord::Base". Any workarounds?

So, your code assumes shown_date is the beginning of the month. It would be better if it assumed a valid date then set the first of the month internally.

def get_start_and_end_dates(shown_date)
  # the end of last month
  shown_date = Date.civil(shown_date.year, shown_date.month, 1)
  strip_start = beginning_of_week(shown_date)
  # the beginning of next month
  strip_end = beginning_of_week(shown_date.next_month + 7) - 1
  [strip_start, strip_end]
end

Nor sure why but all events show up in calendar to day early.

i.e event datetime = 2009-10-05 00:00:00 shows up on the calendar on the 3rd.

also is there a way to set the end_at to the same as the start_at time.

I only need the date not the time.

Thanks

Hi,

I need to show all months of a specific year on my application. In this case, the navigation should be by year and not by month.

Is this possible?

I hav installed the gem, and now am trying to restart my web server.

The error line is as follows:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-3.0.3/lib/active_record/base.rb:1008:in method_missing_without_paginate': undefined local variable or methodhas_event_calendar' for #Class:0x10303d9d8 (NameError)

Hi,

when I set the option
:first_day_of_week => 1
I have a problem displaying a month starting on Sunday (eg. May 2011 or Jan. 2012). The problem is in calendar_helper.rb line 163 -> the row_num is biger than the size of the array.

Is there a work around or a fix?

Hello,
What is the proper routes syntax to use event_calendar in Rails 3 ?

The following is not working for me. I am getting this error below:
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/calendar"):

Here's my routes code:

match '/calendar/:year/:month' => 'calendar#index', :as => :calendar , :requirements => {:year => /d{4}/, :month => /d{1,2}/}

Thanks,

Jeremie

How do you set the color of the event bar in the calendar? All my events are #9aa4ad, but in your example jpeg, the events all have different colors.

In the calendar header the left arrows are output as "<<" and the right arrows are output as ">>"

This is the Rails 2.x version. I was having problems with my routes after installing the plugin, and finally I tracked it down to missing backslashes in the requirements for the route. The generator created this:

map.calendar '/calendar/:year/:month', :controller => 'calendar', :action => 'index', :requirements => {:year => /d{4}/, :month => /d{1,2}/}, :year => nil, :month => nil

But it really should be this:

map.calendar '/calendar/:year/:month', :controller => 'calendar', :action => 'index', :requirements => {:year => /\d{4}/, :month => /\d{1,2}/}, :year => nil, :month => nil

Hope that helps! --Jared

Uncaught TypeError: Object function Event() { [native code] } has no method 'observe', getting this error in event_calendar.js

Hello,
I am trying to install the Event Calendar plugin in my already created rails application. I am using the readme file given on link "https://github.com/elevation/event_calendar#readme".

But while executing the command  : $ ruby  script/plugin install git://github.com/elevation/event_calendar.git , i am getting the above error  meassage  : Plugin not found: ["git://github.com/elevation/event_calendar.git"]

I have installed rails 2.0.2 & ruby 1.8.6. on my windows 7 machine.

Please, can anyone tell me what is the problem? Either i am missing something in it or is the problem comming from github server?
Any help would be appiciate....!!

I have successfully install the event calendar plug-in on normal web page but when I try to implement it on JQuery modal dialog box it doesn't work properly. When user clicks next or previous buttons it will close the model dialog box and load calendar on normal web page How can I correct this error ?

Is there a way to have a callback to a function when an event is created? Similarly, is there a way to add custom fields to an event you are creating. For example, instead of just description of an event, can we have First Name, Last Name etc.... as if it was an appointment calender that stores info about the people you have appointments with?

The named route for the calendar root generates a bad route:
map.calendar '/calendar/:year/:month', :controller => 'calendar', :action => 'index', :year => Time.zone.now.year, :month => Time.zone.now.month

If you use the link_to_day_action property, it will send to the wrong date if you click on a day link that is not in the current month.

For example, if I am currently looking at January of 2010 and I click on the day link for December 31st 2009, it will not send me to the correct day. Instead of ~day/2009/12/31 it will send to ~day/2010/1/31.

Not sure if there is a workaround since I am a noob to rails. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for sharing the calendar.

when changed form 0 to 1 it doesn't show any event

I discovered that around line 202 in calendar_helper there is:

    if dates[0] == day.to_date

and that requirement is not met so i changed code at line 195

    day = first_day_of_week + index  

to
day = first_day_of_week + index - options[:first_day_of_week]

It starts render events BUT not in appropriate columns. (moved by 1 to right)

I don't know how to fix it because I don't have any idea how the freaky strip method works in this code :-)

Hi,

I am using event_calendar gem in my rails 3.0.7 application. It showing error as

Any fix for this error?

Thank u..

You don't need to do gem install 'event-calendar' if your using rails 3. Because, if you put it in your Gemfile and then run bundle install it will install the gem for you. Very minor and I'm sure you know this already, just sayin.

Love this plugin, btw.
Under the install options the three bullets have dashes instead of double hyphens.

Instead of :

—static-only

It should be :

--static-only
