Scheduling/Calendar gem

[Benjamin Koltai]

Hi BostonRB,

I am wondering if anyone has used any scheduling or calendar gems in a Rails project. I am looking for something to display events in a daily/weekly/monthly calendar view where the events can be overlapping.

I have done a bit of googling and have seen mention of a GCal API, but I don't want to have a calendar in Google to display in my app. I have all of the events stored in a model in my application, I just need a way of visually displaying them on a calendar. Has anyone done this? Are there any other suggestions for gems that do this sort of thing?

Thanks,

Benji

It's been awhile since I used it, but I had good luck hacking an early version of this[1] into what I needed at the time.  Looking at it now, it looks in pretty nice shape & well maintained.

I have used event_calendar (https://github.com/elevation/event_calendar) in a rails 2.3.x project before with the plugin install, haven't used it in a rails 3 project yet but it supposedly works.  I was quite happy with the gem for creating a month view calendar.  I would recommend it.

I'm using this for one of my projects, and I'm happy with it.

Not a Ruby gem, but a jQuery javascript library. You give it event
data in JSON -- you can do this in a <script> tag. Very easy to set up
and use.
