I got the idea from this post:
http://z3c.blogspot.com/2008/01/dynamic-calendar-helper-changing-months.html
If anyone has suggestions on a better way to do it, I'd love to know.
Thanks.
Basically, I just created a new route in routes.rb >
map.connect 'wkly_cal/:starts_at/:ends_at',
:controller => 'wkly_cal',
:action => 'index'
So, the url can set the date range. Added this to the
wkly_cal_controller.rb: (under index)
a = params.include?(:starts_at) ? params[:starts_at] :
Date.today - 2
b = params.include?(:ends_at) ? params[:ends_at] :
Date.today + 2
@wkly_cal = Time.parse(a).to_date, Time.parse(b).to_date
So going to just "wkly_cal/" will show this week. Then the following
code wen into wkly_cal_helper.rb
def weekly_options
{
:starts_at => @wkly_cal[0] ,
:ends_at =>
@wkly_cal[1] }
end
So in the view (index) I now have this:
<h1>Weekly Calendar</h1>
<% for lesson in @lessons %><%end%>
<%= week_view(weekly_options) do |range|
cell_text = ""
cell_attrs = {}
@lessons.each do |e|
#if range.first.to_date == e.starts_at.to_date#range.include?
(e.starts_at.to_datetime)
if range.include?(e.start_date.to_datetime)
cell_text << "<div class='event-container'>\n"
cell_text << lesson.student_name
cell_text << "\n"
cell_text << "</div>\n"
end
end
[cell_text, cell_attrs]
end
-%>
The actual links is set in the WeekViewHelper: (cal << next_link, cal
<< prev_link)
require 'date'
# Author: Josh Adams
# This helper is based on CalendarHelper.
# WeekViewHelper allows you to draw a databound week view calendar
with fine-grained CSS formatting
module WeekViewHelper
VERSION = '0.0.1'
# Returns an HTML week-view calendar. In its simplest form, this
method generates a plain
# calendar (which can then be customized using CSS) for a given
span of days.
# However, this may be customized in a variety of ways -- changing
the default CSS
# classes, generating the individual day entries yourself, and so
on.
#
# The following options are required:
# :starts_at
# :ends_at
#
# The following are optional, available for customizing the
default behaviour:
# :table_class => "week-view" # The class for the
<table> tag.
# :day_name_class => "dayName" # The class is for the
names of the days, at the top.
# :day_class => "day" # The class for the
individual day number cells.
# This may or may not
be used if you specify a block (see below).
# :show_today => true # Highlights today on
the calendar using the CSS class 'today'.
# # Defaults to true.
# :previous_span_text => nil # Displayed left if
set
# :next_span_text => nil # Displayed right if
set
#
# For more customization, you can pass a code block to this
method, that will get two argument, both DateTime objects,
# and return a values for the individual table cells. The block
can return an array, [cell_text, cell_attrs],
# cell_text being the text that is displayed and cell_attrs a hash
containing the attributes for the <td> tag
# (this can be used to change the <td>'s class for customization
with CSS).
# This block can also return the cell_text only, in which case the
<td>'s class defaults to the value given in
# +:day_class+. If the block returns nil, the default options are
used.
#
# Example usage:
# week_view(:starts_at => (Date.today - 5), :ends_at =>
Date.today) # This generates the simplest possible week-view.
# week_view(:starts_at => (Date.today - 5), :ends_at =>
Date.today, :table_class => "calendar_helper"}) # This generates a
week-view, as
#
# before, but the <table>'s class
#
# is set to "calendar_helper".
# week_view(:starts_at => (Date.today - 5), :ends_at =>
Date.today) do |s| # This generates a simple week-view, but gives
special spans
# if listOfSpecialSpans.include?(s) # (spans that are
in the array listOfSpecialSpans) one CSS class,
# ["", {:class => "specialSpan"}] # "specialSpan", and
gives the rest of the spans another CSS class,
# else # "normalSpan".
You can also use this to highlight the current time differently
# ["", {:class => "normalSpan"}] # from the rest of
the days, etc.
# end
# end
#
# For consistency with the themes provided in the calendar_styles
generator, use "specialSpan" as the CSS class for marked days.
