Regarding the plugin, as with my original code you can customise the event view by passing a block to the calendar helper (along with the configuration options). i.e.:

calendar event_calendar_options do |event|
"

#{h(event.name)}

"
end

That's really neat and thank you for creating the plugin! However, is there a way to create links on the event strips to link to other pages? Like clicking on a strip would redirect you to another page where it listed more detailed event information?

I took your example from gist, adapted it for my needs, and just extracted it to a plugin on github.

Thanks for the help!

Kevin,

Good point. I don't have the schema off hand, but it went something like...

Events:
id(int), calendar_id(int), name(string), created_by_id(int), updated_by_id(int), start_date(datetime), end_date(datetime), repeat_id(int)
Calendar
id(int), name(string), created_by_id(int), updated_by_id(int)

The key bits being the Calendar and the calendar_id, start_date, end_date, and name on the Event.

Obviously modify to suit your needs :)

Hope that helps! :)

I appreciate you efforts here but you said that your gist contains all the code that you used for an example app but where is the migrations data?

Did you think in write a new plugin with your changes?

Thanks
