Event_Calendar Implementation

• [Event_Calendar] (https://github.com/elevation/event_calendar)

The EventCalendar plugin is only concerned with displaying events. (Or really any model as long as it has name, start_at, and end_at fields.) How they are created is entirely up to you. It does include a generator to get you up and running, but doesn't go as far as creating the event controller and views. For that you could run the following Rails scaffold: script/generate scaffold Event start_at:datetime end_at:datetime

This will give you the controller and views you're looking for.

• The calendar_controller needs to have the strips instance variable changed to the model you are trying to display @event_strips = Shift.event_strips_for_month(@shown_month)

# Changes the colors
def color
   if self.name == "A Shift"
     self[:color] || '#C10000'
   elsif self.name == "B Shift"
     self[:color] || '#0C0882'
   else
     self[:color] || '#08820A'
   end
 end

Abandoning this for now _ See the Event_Calendar implementation

Add Shift Scaffolding

1. duty_day:string
2. shift_day:datetime

Details for table_builder

• Easy to make work with rails 3.2.3
• The only hangup so far is an easy fix; <% calendar_for ... and I added <%= calendar_for
• As of Midnight; the calendar scrolls months
• TODO:
  1. Add shifts
  2. colorize shifts
  3. integrate ice_cube for recurrence
  4. figure out how to add different model data to this action

ice_cube integration - Below is best bet as of now

• Create the shifts in app using the form
• Use the juno tasks model & controller as a template.
• Once the shifts are created, disable the form and proceed to next step!
• USE THIS AS MODEL & CONTROLLER!!! Task Model with IceCube -- The Controller

    class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
      include IceCube

    serialize :options, Hash

    validates_presence_of :action
    validates_presence_of :name
    validates_presence_of :options
    validates_presence_of :schedule
    validates_presence_of :state

    # @return [IceCube::Schedule]
    def schedule
      if read_attribute(:schedule)
        Schedule.from_yaml(read_attribute(:schedule))
      else
        nil
      end
    end

    # @param [IceCube::Schedule]
    def schedule=(value)
      write_attribute(:schedule, value.to_yaml)
    end
  end
