Rails Full Calendar

Hi Brad

Thanks for the in depth answer, and yes it is rather intimidating to look at. I will try the steps you have described and let you know how it goes.. Just to give a slight update I have ventured into the inknown and tried something which kind of works, but no where near as powerful as full calendar..

I found Event_calendar https://github.com/elevation/event_calendar and follwed the quick start guide found in the wiki. What i have now is a basic functioning calendar that I can update events to, however only the title is updated to the calendar view, not the start time and end time ( Which is kind of the point)...

So i am going to follow your guide but would you be able to shed any light on the above issue?

Thanks again

Yes

also you stated to move javascripts/jquery and stylesheets to the public folder. I am using rails 3.1 so do i need to move to the appropriate folders, ie make use of the asset pipeline. when moving stylesheets  I had a message stating public/stylesheets is not a folder so have moved to app/assets/stylesheets

If you are new,  I would save the assets pipeline for later,  it will work with them in public.

Now go to this link

https://github.com/lyconic/jquery.rest

navigate to where you see a link for jquery.rest.js,  download that and put it in public/javascripts

Then see if you can boot the demo app.

ok, so i have created a stylesheets folder in 'public' manually and put fullcalendar.css in there, fired up the server and taken to default rails homepage

still the same error message when i try as suggested, have removed public/index.html.erb and now when firing up the server i get Routing Error No route matches [GET] "/"

The routes file is like this

Calendar::Application.routes.draw do
  # The priority is based upon order of creation:
  # first created -> highest priority.

  # Sample of regular route:
  #   match 'products/:id' => 'catalog#view'
  # Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller and :action

  # Sample of named route:
  #   match 'products/:id/purchase' => 'catalog#purchase', :as => :purchase
  # This route can be invoked with purchase_url(:id => product.id)

  # Sample resource route (maps HTTP verbs to controller actions automatically):
  #   resources :products

  # Sample resource route with options:
  #   resources :products do
  #     member do
  #       get 'short'
  #       post 'toggle'
  #     end
  #
  #     collection do
  #       get 'sold'
  #     end
  #   end

  # Sample resource route with sub-resources:
  #   resources :products do
  #     resources :comments, :sales
  #     resource :seller
  #   end

  # Sample resource route with more complex sub-resources
  #   resources :products do
  #     resources :comments
  #     resources :sales do
  #       get 'recent', :on => :collection
  #     end
  #   end

  # Sample resource route within a namespace:
  #   namespace :admin do
  #     # Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController
  #     # (app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)
  #     resources :products
  #   end

  # You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
  # just remember to delete public/index.html.
  # root :to => 'welcome#index'

  # See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes"

  # This is a legacy wild controller route that's not recommended for RESTful applications.
  # Note: This route will make all actions in every controller accessible via GET requests.
  # match ':controller(/:action(/:id))(.:format)'
end

I have placed the *.css in the assets/stylesheets now, there is fullcalendar.css and fullcalendar.print.css

Is this as expected so far Brad?

Yes, using rails 3.1 for my real app.
