Calender / datetime picker - localization

[Martin Weissenboeck]

Who knows where to find details about the localization (and other customization) of the built-in calender?

In calendar.js I have found the link http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar, but I could only find there something about a (new) version JSCal2

If you want to localize the date format in particular, in /views/web2py_ajax.html, you'll notice variables w2p_ajax_date_format and w2p_ajax_datetime_format. Both of those are translated via the web2py translation system, so you can simply add translations for those two formats to your language files.

Thx. But how can I translate the names of the months and the days and how can I make the calendar start at Monday (and not at Sunday)?

By the way: I wanted to get a timepicker and I have tried to use "... _class='time'...". The datepicker works (_class='date') and also _class='datetime', but not 'time'.

Here's the documentation on the JS widget: http://www.dynarch.com/static/jscalendar-1.0/doc/html/reference.html.

 

Note, attaching the Calendar widget to date and datetime fields is handled in the web2py_ajax_init function of /static/js/web2py_ajax.js (http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/applications/welcome/static/js/web2py_ajax.js#25), so you could edit that (or change the class of date and datetime fields) in order to further customize the behavior.

Hi Martin,

About the translation, have you checked out its official package?
http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/old/

It contains lots of different language files. Just include one of
them, and you are good to go. It works for me, for years!

Hi Ray,

yes, I have read it.

My problem is to change the language "on the fly", depending on the language the visitor excepts.

Ok, this is the documentation I have been looking for. Now I have found the direct link on the website. Thanks again.

The timepicker seems not be very useful for me because I could not find a way to change it from AM/PM to 24 hours

Then I think you need a dynamic include in your controller. Something
like this:

def index():
return {'foo': DIV(
SCRIPT(_src=URL(..., 'calendar-%s-utf8.js'%language)),
DIV(...all_cool_stuff...),
)}

Ray
