This fork changes the attributes of Event object to start_date & end_date. Needed to use this for an existing on-going project.
A weekly calendar builder for ruby on rails. Although there are countless monthly calendars on Github I couldn't find any with a weekly view, so I built my own.
The calendar is horizontally scrolling with a completely fluid CSS layout and an option for business/24 hours. Weekly views are useful because the events are plotted based on time and the width is determined by how long the event is scheduled for. So there is a visual representation of when the event is, not just a list.
The code is inspired by P8s table_builder which I recommend for monthly calendars.
Live demo: http://scheduler.integratehq.com
script/plugin install git://github.com/dmix/weekly_builder.git
Then check the output if all images and stylesheets have been copied successfully.
The calendar builder: <% weekly_calendar(@events, :date => @date, :include_24_hours => true) do |w| %> <% w.week(:business_hours => params[:business_hours], :clickable_hours => true) do |event,truncate| %> <%= event.starts_at.strftime('%I:%M%p') %> <%= link_to truncate(event.name,truncate), event_path(event) %> <% end -%> <% end -%>
The Next/Previous week links helper: <% weekly_links(:date => @date) %>
In your controller: @date = Time.parse("#{params[:start_date]} || Time.now.utc") @start_date = Date.new(@date.year, @date.month, @date.day) @events = Event.find(:all, :conditions => ['starts_at between ? and ?', @start_date, @start_date + 7])
The event model only requires 2 attributes: starts_at:datetime and ends_at:datetime to calculate width and position on the calendar. In my demo app I ask the user for one date/time (starts_at) and estimated time to complete (for example 2hrs), it then calculates ends_at after it is submitted.
UPDATE: Added a truncate_width method so that long event names are truncated in proportion to the width of the event, this is passed through the week block with |truncate|. UPDATE: Added option so that timeslots are clickable to create new
:include_24_hours: Default hours are 6am-8pm, if this set as "true" then an option to switch to a 24-hour schedule appears at the bottom
:clickable_hours: Setting clickable_hours to true enables the timeslots to be clicked to create new event

Thanks to P8 http://github.com/p8/table_builder/
- IE6 Friendly (so far only tested on FF3 + Safari 4)
- Testing
- Refactor concats to be nested
- Single @date instead of @start_date + @end_date
