Hi, We are looking for a calendar scheduling solution that supports recurring events. Some specific requirements are that we need to be able to setup recurring events, then modify one of those events on a certain day by deleting it for example. Basically, we want the back end for a Google Calender type functionality. Ive dug around in GitHub and there are tons of recurring plugins but not many that have discrete events that we can subsequently manipulate. The best I have found is Schedule_fu https://github.com/commonthread/calendar_fu . It seems like a good match, but I wanted to throw it out to the community before I dived head in and see if anybody had feedback.

Its development seems a lot more active than the one you have, which is generally pretty important to me when searching out gems, since things in Rails move so fast.> Some specific requirements are that we need to be able to setup > recurring events, then modify one of those events on a certain day by > deleting it for example. > > Basically, we want the back end for a Google Calender type > functionality.Again, haven''t used it but from the perusing it claims to do this (from their github landing page): With ice_cube, you can specify (in order of precendence) Exception Dates - To specifically exclude from a schedule Recurrence Dates - To specifically include in a schedule Exception Rules - Rules on how to exclude recurring dates in a schedule Recurrence Rules - Rules on how to include recurring dates in a schedule HTH, \Peter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

BTW, if you haven''t checked out FullCalendar (http://arshaw.com/ fullcalendar/) you should - it''s a pretty slick jQuery plugin to handle the *other* half of the calendar system. --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
