jQuery Week Calendar 1.2.0 Release

rob

A new release of the week calendar plugin has been published with a number of enhancements and bug fixes. Part of this release included an internal refactoring to base the calendar off the jQuery-UI widget framework. I think this has helped to clean the code up and certainly simplified things. I think there’s still more that can be done in this area and  I expect to refine the internals over the next couple of releases. If anyone’s interested in a run down on the jQuery-UI widget structure, I found this to be a very helpful article.

This release contains the following improvements:

  • Added better layout support for overlapping of events (there are still some improvements to be made in this area but it’s a lot better than it was)
  • Added ability to supply formatters for dates and times. You can also define your own day, month name arrays to be used by the date and time formatters.
  • Added improved demo with creation / editing of events using jquery ui.
  • All demos are now served directly out of google code svn
  • Added option to only display hours defined in the ‘businessHours’ config option.
  • Migrated code-base to extend jquery-ui widget.
  • Improved inline method documentation.
  • Added ‘readonly’ config option to flag the entire calendar as readonly, preventing creation, dragging, dropping and resizing of events.
  • Added ability to configure day, month names for better i18n support
  • Fixed bug with IE7 resizing once an event gets to 2 timeslots or smaller
  • Added public method for returning an array of valid timeslots  for a given date based on the calendar options. Useful for populating select fields with start and end times.

Thanks to everyone who’s helped submitting bug reports, feature requests. I attempted to get the most pressing ones out in this release and hope to follow it up with another release in the next week or so.

    Just stumbled through Webappers on your calendar. Awesome work… especially with the jQuery-UI framework. :D

    Hey Daniel,

    I’m not completely following what you’re trying to do there. Can I suggest posting the question to the google group here and adding a little bit more detail – http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-week-calendar?pli=1

    You’ll be able to draw on the experience of a few of the people integrating this into their apps as well.

    cheers,
    rob
