Rails Calendar Gems

[Reuben Tan]

Hello experts, 

I am looking for a rails gem that provides functionalities similar to Google Calendar. Features like :

• Recurring events
• HTML calendar display ( week, day and month )
• clickable and editable events 
• draggable 

Basically I am creating attendance system for a tuition agency where every event is attached with an attendance object and a teacher object. These events are recurring and subject to changes in dates. 

I can't google it because I am in China but I can bing it, unfortunately even websites that uses google fonts and etc are all being blocked. 

I did some of my " bing-ing " and ruby-toolbox, and I saw some options. Most of the options I saw on ruby-toolbox doesn't have a demo or they are suitable for rails 2+. 

The only suitable one I saw was fullcalendar.io, which is a javascript library that provides all the UI interactions but no persistence ability. 

I would like to know what are the gems you guys used before that has similar functionalities like gCal. 

p.s. I am using my friend's laptop with VPN to access google groups. If you are wondering how did I access google stuff. 

Many thanks. =)

Oh wow, fullcalendar does looks good!

I use http://ext.ensible.com/ for the calendar functionality.

It's neither free nor ruby...so most probably not really what you would use, but it's very easy to integrate with Rails (or any) back-end using JSON. Also, easily extensible using ext so again, probably not what you want

Hello Peter, 

Thanks for the sharing the gem you used, I will definitely keep this ext in mind if I ever need to build an extensive app that built around a calendar. =) 

Just to fill in, I am going to use fullcalendar and build the functionalities around it to get what I want.

Btw, if you are going to stay in China for awhile, I recommend to use VyprVPN.
