Add find event conditions

[Jeff Schuil]

Charley Says:

Does anyone have any experience using this with conditions for the
events. I set up my events to be able to be either public or private,
and there are multiple users. My goal is for a logged in user to be
able to see their public and private events, then be able to see other
users calendars with only that users public events. Anybody have any
experience with anything like that or know where I should start?

I know others have come across this as well. Making the find
conditions more flexible, without having to hack the plugin, would be
good. Maybe something similar to this fork (which you may find helpful
in the meantime): http://github.com/kb/event_calendar/commit/36c2f6f8691b27ac7f365f9f0f9d5f44fdadab00

I have tried the following find using the updated code you talked
about:

options = { "conditions" => ['permit_id = ?', @permit.id] }
@event_strips =
Project.event_strips_for_month(@shown_month,options)

I get the following error:

undefined method `>' for {"conditions"=>["permit_id = ?", 3]}:Hash

Can you please help?

Thanks.

I updated my code to the following:

options = { :conditions => {:permit_id => @permit.id} }
@event_strips = Project.event_strips_for_month(@shown_month,options)

But I still get the following errors:

NoMethodError in PermitsController#calendar
undefined method `>' for {:conditions=>{:permit_id=>3}}:Hash

First, Great plug-in. Thanks. Very useful.

Instead of modifying the plugin to add conditions, I have chosen to
override the definition of the events_for_date_range class method in
the model for my event class(es), using the appropriate definition of
the find method. Since I present events of different classes in my
calender, this gives me the possibility to have different versions of
finding events for different classes of events. For example in one of
my models (for competitions that belong to a club) I have:

# Set color for display in calendar
def color
'orange'
end


def self.setmyclub(clubid)
# Need to call this class method before you call "events_for_date"
in order to set the clubid
@@myclubid = clubid
end

# Overriding the method that picks up the event so we only select
competions for this club
def self.events_for_date_range(start_d, end_d)
self.find(
:all,
:conditions => [ '(? <= end_at) AND (start_at < ?) AND
(club_id = ?)', start_d.to_time.utc, end_d.to_time.utc, @@myclubid ],
:order => 'start_at ASC'
)
end
