Hi guys,

Quick question, anyone using or know of a calendar app that is currently in active development that i could use in my django app?

I've been trying to get django-swingtime and django_bootstrap_calendar but i've got errors that i can't seem to resolve and i think their dev on github might not be very active.

Ideally i'd like to implement something as cool as iCal / Google calendar - with dragable objects to set the start and end times

Thanks for any tips!

Adam

I use django_bootstrap_calendar and it works absolutely fine for me. There are some bugs in the week and date views and I need to merge them asap - probably this weekend.

Also, if you find any other bugs in  django_bootstrap_calendar, do mention in issues - the dev atleast replies back.

Thanks for confirming that django_bootstrap_calendar is going well, I have it installed and just got some feedback on github with a problem i had, so fingers crossed I can get it to work.
Much appreciated!

Adam

Well it looks like I am not getting any errors! Great, and I can see the calendar controls.
But no calendar! 
Do I need to create my own calendar model - Event, EventType.. etc? And plug that into the bootstrap_calendar.
I think I'm missing a rather important piece in the puzzle.  If you have tips I'd really appreciate hearing them if you have the time.
Cheers!

Add some content into the model via admin - it will show up.
I would highly recommend going through the app's code so that you know how the different pieces in the 'puzzle' work in tandem and what you need to customize it.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write back to me, I am very thankful.

If you don't mind would you be able to give me a few more pointers?
I can't see the calendar app in admin - do I need to add in to the admin.py file?

And I am getting browser errors related to the static files - should I copy these into my static folder or will these be read from the django_bootstrap_calendar app's static folder.

Perhaps I should drop these questions onto the github page
