Weekly calendar view

[stevesizer]

Hi Chris,

I looking at using this gem for a project I am currently working on and all the events are week long events. What I wanted to do is render a calendar using weeks instead of days. Please see image attached. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Yep. You'd want to build a custom Calendar object to do it, that way you can control the dates that are rendered and how many are in a row.

It's pretty simple: https://github.com/excid3/simple_calendar#custom-calendars

Something like this would generate a calendar like your screenshot.

Take the date from the URL, use it as the starting week, then add 15 entries by adding 1 week each time.

class WeekCalendar < SimpleCalendar::Calendar
  private

    def date_range
      dates = [start_date.beginning_of_week]
      15.times do
         dates << (dates.last + 1.week)
      end
    end
end

Error undefined method `slice' for 1:Integer

so when I check date_range it only the value 1

View <%= SimpleCalendar::WeeklyCalendar.new(self, {}).render do |date| %> <%= date %> <% end %>

Class class SimpleCalendar::WeeklyCalendar < SimpleCalendar::Calendar private

def week_number
  format = (Date.beginning_of_week == :sunday) ? "%U" : "%V"
  start_date.beginning_of_week.strftime(format).to_i
end

def number_of_weeks
  options.fetch(:number_of_weeks, 1)
end

def end_week
  week_number + number_of_weeks - 1
end

def date_range
  dates = [start_date.beginning_of_week]
  number_of_weeks.times do
     dates << (dates.last + 1.week)
  end
end

end

Partial

<%= date_range %> <% date_range.slice(0, 7).each do |day| %> <% end %> <% date_range.each_slice(7) do |week| %> <% week.each do |day| %> <%= content_tag :td, class: calendar.td_classes_for(day) do %> <% if defined?(Haml) && respond_to?(:block_is_haml?) && block_is_haml?(block) %> <% capture_haml(day, sorted_events.fetch(day, []), &block) %> <% else %> <% block.call day, sorted_events.fetch(day, []) %> <% end %> <% end %> <% end %> <% end %>

<%= t('date.abbr_day_names')[day.wday] %>

Return the array in your date_range method. Right now you're returning the value of the times loop. That should do the trick.

Have you ever had any weird things going on between environments? I just i had everything sorted and for some reason on my staging site its not working.

first image is local and displays 21 weeks in the calendar. The second screenshot is on the staging site.

_weekly_calendar.html.erb

<%= date_range %> <%= calendar.options %> <% date_range.each_slice(4) do |week| %> <% week.each do |day| %> <%= content_tag :td, class: calendar.td_classes_for(day) do %> <% if defined?(Haml) && respond_to?(:block_is_haml?) && block_is_haml?(block) %> <% capture_haml(day, sorted_events.fetch(day, []), &block) %> <% else %> <% block.call day, sorted_events.fetch(day, []) %> <% end %> <% end %> <% end %> <% end %>
