<h1>Calendaring Class</h1>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The Calendar class enables you to dynamically create calendars. Your calendars can be formatted through the use of a calendar
 | 
						|
template, allowing 100% control over every aspect of its design. In addition, you can pass data to your calendar cells.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the Calendar class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>$this->load->library('calendar');</code>
 | 
						|
<p>Once loaded, the Calendar object will be available using: <dfn>$this->calendar</dfn></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Displaying a Calendar</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Here is a very simple example showing how you can display a calendar:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>$this->load->library('calendar');<br />
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
echo $this->calendar->generate();</code>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The above code will generate a calendar for the current month/year based on your server time.
 | 
						|
To show a calendar for a specific month and year you will pass this information to the calendar generating function:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>$this->load->library('calendar');<br />
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
echo $this->calendar->generate(<kbd>2006</kbd>, <kbd>6</kbd>);</code>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The above code will generate a calendar showing the month of June in 2006.  The first parameter specifies the year, the second parameter specifies the month.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Passing Data to your Calendar Cells</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>To add data to your calendar cells involves creating an associative array in which the keys correspond to the days
 | 
						|
you wish to populate and the array value contains the data.  The array is passed to the third parameter of the calendar
 | 
						|
generating function.  Consider this example:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>$this->load->library('calendar');<br />
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
$data = array(<br />
 | 
						|
               3  => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/03/',<br />
 | 
						|
               7  => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/07/',<br />
 | 
						|
               13 => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/13/',<br />
 | 
						|
               26 => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/26/'<br />
 | 
						|
             );<br />
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
echo $this->calendar->generate(<kbd>2006</kbd>, <kbd>6</kbd>, <var>$data</var>);</code>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Using the above example, day numbers 3, 7, 13, and 26 will become links pointing to the URLs you've provided.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> By default it is assumed that your array will contain links.
 | 
						|
In the section that explains the calendar template below you'll see how you can customize
 | 
						|
how data passed to your cells is handled so you can pass different types of information.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Setting Display Preferences</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>There are seven preferences you can set to control various aspects of the calendar.  Preferences are set by passing an 
 | 
						|
array of preferences in the second parameter of the loading function. Here is an example:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>
 | 
						|
$prefs = array (<br />
 | 
						|
               'start_day'    => 'saturday',<br />
 | 
						|
               'month_type'   => 'long',<br />
 | 
						|
               'day_type'     => 'short'<br />
 | 
						|
             );<br />
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
$this->load->library('calendar', $prefs);<br />
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
echo $this->calendar->generate();</code>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The above code would start the calendar on saturday, use the "long" month heading, and the "short" day names.  More information
 | 
						|
regarding preferences below.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" style="width:100%" class="tableborder">
 | 
						|

<td class="td"><strong>template</strong></td><td class="td">None</td><td class="td">None</td><td class="td">A string containing your calendar template. See the template section below.</td>

 |

						|
<td class="td"><strong>show_next_prev</strong></td><td class="td">FALSE</td><td class="td">TRUE/FALSE (boolean)</td><td class="td">Determines whether to display links allowing you to toggle to next/previous months. See information on this feature below.</td>
 | 
						|
</tr><tr>
 | 
						|
<td class="td"><strong>next_prev_url</strong></td><td class="td">None</td><td class="td">A URL</td><td class="td">Sets the basepath used in the next/previous calendar links.</td>
 | 
						|
</tr>
 | 
						|
</table>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Showing Next/Previous Month Links</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>To allow your calendar to dynamically increment/decrement via the next/previous links requires that you set up your calendar
 | 
						|
code similar to this example:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>$prefs = array (<br />
 | 
						|
               'show_next_prev'  => TRUE,<br />
 | 
						|
               'next_prev_url'   => 'http://example.com/index.php/calendar/show/'<br />
 | 
						|
             );<br />
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
$this->load->library('calendar', $prefs);<br />
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
echo $this->calendar->generate(<var>$this->uri->segment(3)</var>, <var>$this->uri->segment(4)</var>);</code>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>You'll notice a few things about the above example:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<ul>
 | 
						|
<li>You must set the "show_next_prev" to TRUE.</li>
 | 
						|
<li>You must supply the URL to the controller containing your calendar in the "next_prev_url" preference.</li>
 | 
						|
<li>You must supply the "year" and "month" to the calendar generating function via the URI segments where they appear (Note:  The calendar class automatically adds the year/month to the base URL you provide.).</li>
 | 
						|
</ul>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Creating a Calendar Template</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>By creating a calendar template you have 100% control over the design of your calendar. Each component of your
 | 
						|
calendar will be placed within a pair of pseudo-variables as shown here:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>
 | 
						|
