[Phpgroupware-developers] jsCalendar popup for phpGW

[Ralf Becker]

Hi all,

I imported the jsCalendar (http://dynarch.com/mishoo/calendar.epl) popup 
into the API. It allows to select a date from a small popup calendar 
(works in IE >= 5.0, Mozilla, Opera 7, other browser can use the normal 
input-field).

I imported the jsCalendar Version 0.9.3 unchanged into the API (for 
easier updateing later) and programmed a wrapper class to use it easily 
within phpGW:

$jscal = CreateObject('phpgwapi.jscalendar');	// before the phpgw_header 
call, as it inserts the necessary javascript and css-files into the 
page-header

echo $jscal->input('startdate',$starttime);

or

echo $jscal->input('startdate','',$year,$month,$day);

There a also a function to convert the date-string back into a timestamp 
or an array with year/month/day.

The wrapper-class loads the javascript file jscalendar-setup.php, which 
pulls the date-format and language out of the user prefs and loads the 
necessary translations from the db, no extra configuration and 
translation is needed.

You can test it (after updateing your .16 install) in calendar/edit. I 
will implement it soon in InfoLog (eTemplate) and other apps.

Ralf

PS.: From the same developer is HTMLarea (richtext editor) and a very 
nice menu-system, which might be interesting for the idots sidebox-menu.
