Here is new version of calendar.js folks!

This version incorporate some very cool new features.

Load events

Most important that the way we load events has been changed.

Parameter events_url is now depreciated although still supported. New parameter events_source should be used instead.

And now this parameter may be a function and you can control from where and how you get your events.

Bootstrap 3

Support for Twitter Bootstrap 3 has ben added. But it is still compatible with Bootstrap 2 as well. Now calendar supports both Bootstrap versions 2 and 3 seamlessly.

On the demo you will find Use bootstrap 3 button to check it out.

Modal Window

Now you can open events in modal window. This is really helpful because user stay on the same page and calendar view and date stays untouched.

To enable modal window all you have to do is to add standard Bootstrap modal window HTML and pass its id to calendar.

<div class="modal hide fade" id="events-modal">
    <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
        <h3>Event</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body" style="height: 400px">
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
        <a href="#" data-dismiss="modal" class="btn">Close</a>
    </div>
</div> 

and

$('#calendar').calendar({
    modal: '#events-modal'
});

On the demo you will see checkbox which will allow you to see how it works.

Timezone

Now calendar may detect and send browser timezone as a browser_timezone parameter to event feed URL. This may be sometimes very useful if you want to adjust events time on the server.

To use this feature you will have to include jsTimezoneDetect javascript. You do not need to set any parameter. Just include this script and it will start passing TZ to your events server.

This script is supplied in components folder #119.

Holidays

Holidays is a unique feature of calendar.js to display events repeated every year. This is where it shines. We had added some additional changed that make it even more advanced.

• Added - #143 Allow definition of multi-day holidays. Like holidays from 1 Jan to 5 Jan.
• Add Country-dependent holidays. Now set of holidays is bonded to language file. And when you change language, holidays will be also changed. Although there is a way to explicitly pass holidays that will be shown with any language file.
• Improved - Holiday calculation code was significantly simplified and improved.
• Added - Russian holidays to ru-RU.js Source: http://ppt.ru/kodeks.phtml?kodeks=17&paper=112

Other Fixes and Improvments

Along with listed bellow, there was many code optimizations and improvements.

• Fixed - days highlights on event mouse over
• Added - sort events when returned from local function - @mlocati
• Improve - Hide overflowing header texts on calendar resize smaller - @mlocati
• Improve - Use utf-8 chars instead of html entities - #136

• Improve - Use javascript:void(0) instead of # for empty event urls. So that if clicked the browser does not browse to '#', that would scroll the page to the top.
• Fixed - Avoid error if event url is null or not specified - #124
• Improve - Always have calendar JavaScript object in any template.
• Fixed - #112 default position dates shared across instances on pages with more than one calendar.

Roadmap

Here is small roadmap.

1. Add hours view for week and day.
2. Create small view templates. For example if you want to show calendat in a web site module or widget.

This release includes number of changes.

One important is - disable views.

For example you want calendar only month view. One thing you can avoid to create switch view buttons but you can click on the date in the month view and it renders day view.

This additional calendar initialization options prevent this behavior. If day view is disabled, it will not render it when you click on the date when in month view.

Other

• Use GET instead of POST when request list of events #35
• No holidays are there by default. Only those you explicitly pass to calendar. #32
• Rename some grid classes from cal-span# to ca-cell# because in bootstrap they use class*="span" with affect calendar greed which is custom 7 columns grid unlike 12 columb bootstrap grid.
• fix - script failed if null received as list of events.
