jQuery 1.3 With PHP: Calendars
I was supposed to write about Datatables for chapter 6 of jQuery 1.3 with PHP, but the website of the plugin I was going to use (http://www.datatables.net/) was down for about a week, and so I wrote about Calendars instead.
I used Red3‘s jquery-week-calendar plugin for a recent project in work, and was so impressed I really had to write about it.
In chapter 6 of the book, I’ll walk through how to build a simple calendar, including creation and editing of events, and including once-off and recurring events.
The demo is a session-based calendar, which records only for the duration of your browser session. It’s for demo purposes only, obviously. If you want to use it in a larger project, you would need to adapt the PHP so that it records to a database or files or something.
Here’s an image of it in use:
Only four or so chapters left and then I’m done with the hard part. After that, is rewrites, then you can all throw your money at me.
