Does someone have a copy of this plugin somewhere? I want to use this (I''ve tried using the engines version and I get the same error as Kim above...) but the link above seems to be dead.

Re: datebocks-as-a-plugin (Was Re: cannot get datebocks to work)
Hi Nathaniel, I do think your plugin has a lot to offer and it is a great contribution to the Rails community. I would consider using it on a per-project basis. Though, for now I am looking for a simple calendar picker that I can easily customize its behavior. Also, I do need to have multiple calendars on the same view. I don''t know enough about engines (reading it), but my initial thought is a) avoid having more dependencies and b) if I can help it, avoid bulking up the application. Falling short of re-inventing the wheel, I am open to other options. -- Long Nathaniel Brown wrote:> > Hey Long, > > The new release I put out has a ton of new features which the plugin > version will not have.

Long, I use the old version "datebox_engine" and have multiple calendars on the same view without any problems at all. You should be able to search either this forum or the engines forum for the fix that I applied to make it work (very, very simple). I thought Nathaniel added that ability in the "datebocks" version but have not had a need to migrate to it to find out. All in all, I found the engine to be very easy to get up and running and am greatly appreciative to Nathaniel for his work.

Personally I had so much trouble with DateBocks that I just downloaded the Dynarch Javascript calendar and wrote a short helper method to create a tag for it in views.

Re: datebocks-as-a-plugin (Was Re: cannot get datebocks to w
Hey Michael,
Many thanks for the encouragement.
The new version, Datetime Toolbocks has significant improvements.
Allowing you to be able to create multiple datetime toolbocks, as well
as having it use the value within the model itself.
The EOL abiqious name that is basically a stream input Start & end
phrase. It can really be whatever you want...
my_new_var = <<-ANYTHING
All the text within here can also have #{variables} and will not
matter whether there are "quotes".
ANYTHING
I didn''t need to CIN to a variable, as the last variable/string
created within any method is the return value, which in this case is
used within the value.
Nathaniel.

I want to thank you both for sharing your insights here. Nathaniel, I did see that the multiple datetime was a to-do item on your project home page. Perhaps, it needs to be updated. I thought the <<-EOL usage in the helper method was interesting. It certainly makes cranking out html much easier, especially without having to worry about quotes ... so I learned something new today ;) Cheers, -- Long Nathaniel Brown wrote:> > Hey Michael, > > Many thanks for the encouragement. > > The new version, Datetime Toolbocks has significant improvements. > Allowing you to be able to create multiple datetime toolbocks, as well > as having it use the value within the model itself. > > The EOL abiqious name that is basically a stream input Start & end > phrase.

Re: datebocks-as-a-plugin (Was Re: cannot get datebocks to w
Hey Long, The "Ability to have two calendars side by side for start/end dates" is specific to a constrained second calendar based on the first cal. It would be useful for planning a range, or a flight arrival/departure dates, etc. Having two fields, even with unique customization for each is entirely possible. Lots of development went into this specifically. Nathaniel.

Hi Nathaniel, Sorry to be negative about what you have put alot of work into. My problems were mainly javascript errors I think as I finally got the calendar to appear after running the rake javascript update task on your webpage. I still had the problem that the dates always displayed in the input field as yyyy-mm-dd and I couldn''t figure out how to change it..... maybe I didn''t spend long enough! Also all the phrase entries seem to be hard coded to American date formats (ie enter 05/06 and it will assume mm/dd and again I couldn''t see any way to change the defaults... Finally there seems to be an awfull lot of stuff installed when you install the plugin!

bbebop,
Here is what I use as a helper with the dynarch calendar:
It may not be the smartest way (I''ve only been playing with rails for
a month) but is seems to work :
module CalendarHelper
# The following files are required to be able to use the calendar
popup:
# public/stylesheets/calendar/*.css
# public/javascripts/calendar/*.js
# public/images/calendar/*.gif
#
# In the <head> section of the html (normally in the layout) you will
require the following
# <%= stylesheet_link_tag ''calendar/calendar-win2k-1.css'',
:media =>
"screen" %>
# <%= javascript_include_tag ''calendar/calendar'',
''calendar/calendar-
en'', ''calendar/calendar-setup'' %>
# Note that this is the basic istallation and other css files etc are
available
# The dateformats are hard coded tp dd mmm yyyy etc so helper will
need altering if
# a different format is required
#
# from the template the call looks like:
# Default version
# <%= calendar_tag :client, :date_of_birth %>
# Example of html options (disabled)
# <%= calendar_tag :client, :date_of_birth , {:disabled=>
"true"} %>
# Example with time as well
# <%= calendar_tag :meeting, :date_and_time ,
{},{:show_time=>"true"}
%>
def calendar_tag(object_name, method, options {},calendar_options={})
input_field_id= "#{object_name}_#{method}"
input_field_name="#{object_name}[#{method}]"
object = instance_eval("@#{object_name}")
date = object.send(method)
if !date.blank?
if calendar_options[:show_time]
value= date.strftime("%d %b %Y %I:%M %p")
else
value= date.strftime("%d %b %Y")
end
end
image_id=input_field_id + "_btn"
options[:type]="text"
options[:name]=input_field_name
options[:id]=input_field_id
options[:value]=value
if calendar_options[:show_time]
options[:size]=20
else
options[:size]=16
end
input_tag=tag("input",options)
img_options=Hash.new
img_options[:src]="/images/calendar/img.gif"
img_options[:id]=image_id
img_options[:style]="cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid red;"
img_options[:title]="Date selector"
img_options[:onmouseover]="this.style.background=''red'';"
img_options[:onmouseout]="this.style.background=''''"
img_options[:disabled]="true" if !options[:disabled].blank?
image_tag=tag("img",img_options)
js_tag = ''<script
type="text/javascript">''
js_tag += ''Calendar.setup(''
js_tag += ''{''
js_tag += ''inputField :'' +
%Q("#{input_field_id}")
if calendar_options[:show_time]
js_tag += '',ifFormat : "%d %b %Y %I:%M
%p"'' # dd mmm yyyy
hh:mm pm
js_tag += '',showsTime : true''
js_tag += '',timeFormat : 12''
else
js_tag += '',ifFormat : "%d %b %Y"'' # dd
mmm yyyy
end
js_tag += '',weekNumbers : false''
js_tag += '',button : '' + %Q("#{image_id}")
js_tag += ''}''
js_tag += '');''
js_tag += ''</script>''
input_tag + image_tag + js_tag
end
end
