Hi, I''m looking to develop a dynamic event calendar for a rails application. I found some nifty little embeddable calendars in jQuery and Moo Tools that use Json feeds but they seem to conflict with some features that I have already developed using prototype. Is there a rails plugin that I can work with or an embeddable prototype solution that I can feed with xml or json? If anybody has any advice or tips please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Try calendar_helper Rails plugin. I''m using this in my events-based
app right now and love it! It adds appropriate classes to your table
cells and allows you to add your own classes as well, if you''d rather.
Plus: No javascript necessary. :)

In my app, I display the event type, the comedian name with a link to
edit, ticket price and showtime:
controller:
@year = params[:year].blank? ? Date.today.year : params[:year].to_i
@month = params[:month].blank? ? Date.today.month : params
[:month].to_i
@events = Event.all
view:
<%= calendar({:year => @year, :month => @month}) do |d|
cell_text = "#{d.mday}<br />"
cell_attrs = {:class => ''day''}
@events.each do |e|
if e.showtime.mday == d.mday
cell_text << link_to ( e.comedian.full_name, :action =>
''edit'', :id
=> e ) << "<br />"
cell_text << e.event_type << "<br />"
cell_text << e.ticket_price << "<br />"
cell_text << e.showtime << "<br />"
cell_attrs[:class] = ''event_date''
end
end
[cell_text, cell_attrs]
end
