Does anyone know if someone has created a popup calendar helper for selecting dates? The current way in rails with the multiple selects is cumbersome at best, and I didn''t see any calendar type helpers in there.

You might want to take a look at http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/ , it''s pretty powerful and has quite clean api so it shouldn''t be too hard to integrate with your app. //jarkko> > > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >-- Jarkko Laine http://jlaine.net http://odesign.fi _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

The link to the sample date picker in the above page gets a 404 not found, but the actual link to the slick date picker is: http://www.pxl8.com/calendar_date_picker.html It seems like the fellow at rousette built a date picker for rails based on the date picker on pxl8.

I prefer the Dynarch version [1], tho, because it seems a lot more configurable from a first glance (like on which day weeks start). It is licensed under LGPL so there shouldn''t be any problems in using it. When I''m talking about integrating it with rails I mean building a helper proc that will create the calendar. That''s not exactly what bsag did, she just uses the js picker in the views of her rails app. I would like a solution like the one for AJAX support so that there would be a helper function similar to current datetime_select but which would create a calendar widget instead of the date select fields. It could test for the javascript support of the browser and fall back to datetime_select if needed. //jarkko> > The link to the sample date picker in the above page gets a 404 not > found, but the actual link to the slick date picker is: > http://www.pxl8.com/calendar_date_picker.html > > It seems like the fellow at rousette built a date picker for rails > based on the date picker on pxl8. > > Clay > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >-- Jarkko Laine http://jlaine.net http://odesign.fi _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

I have to brush up on my licensing requirements. Are you required to release your source, or kick back changes if you are acting as an ASP, and not actually distributing your code to anyone with the LGPL? Thanks, Steve
After a long search we selected the dynarch calendar, and currently have it implemented in some PHP-driven pages. Very nice calendar! That''s definitely the one I''d recommend to integrate into Rails.

Is there going to be any problem with the LGPL if I''m building a commercial web site? As I understand it one can link all they want with the LGPL without causing the rest of their program to become GPL''ed. In an interpreted language like javascript does this even mean anything? Is it violating the license to include a javascript date control in a commercial server-based product?

Server-side code of a website does not apply. Javascript code, on the other hand... If you look at the intent of the license, it seems that the (L)GPL licenses apply *to the javascript* but you still wouldn''t have any problems if you serve the scripts unobfuscated. In case of the GPL you''d probably have to put the GPL license on all javascript. Insert standard "I am not a lawyer" clause here. Joost.
