BBQQ Calendar - bcit-ci/CodeIgniter GitHub Wiki
This time I'd like to add a new class called BBQQ calendar to library. I know that there is a calendar class for CodeIgniter, but this will show you how simple is to add a third party php class to CI.
Download a zip file from http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/5743.html#download. You need to register and sign-in in order to see a download link. Unzip it somewhere in your desktop. Open calendar.php and replace <?php with the following code at the top and save it as BBQQ_Calendar.php in application/libraries/ directory.
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); 
Copy, paste the following code and save it as calendar.php in controllers directory.
<?php
class calendar extends Controller {
function __construct() {
    parent::__construct();
    $this->load->library('BBQQ_Calendar');
}
function index()
{
    
    $this->load->view('calendar_view');
}    
}
Copy, paste the following code and save it as calendar_view.php in views directory.
Please note that I added <base href="<?=base_url();?>" /> in head section.
This allows us to link a css (and javascript if you are using) file with <link href="css/example.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" > 
<html>
<head>
<title>BBQQ CALENDAR</title>
<base href="<?=base_url();?>" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" >
<link href="css/example.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >
<body>
<?php
$cal = new BBQQ_Calendar();
$cal->render(0);
?>
<?php
$cal->render(0, 1);

change sun/sat to sunday/saturday
<?php
$cal->setWeekDayTitle(array(
    'sun' => 'Sunday',
    'sat' => 'Saturday'

$cal->render(0);

<?php
$cal->render(0, 0,
    'simple calendar' .

<?php
$days = array(
            // custom template for today
            $cal->getToday('j') => array(
                'template' => 'TODAY: :num'
            ),
            // highlight day: 5 with custom template/scripts and wrapper tag
            5 => array(
                'template' => ':num',
                'wrapper' => array(
                   'tag' => 'td',
                   'id'    => null,
                   'class' => 'cal-thu',
                   'format' => 'j F, Y',
                   'style' => 'color:red;background:yellow',
                   'onclick' => "alert('Title: ' + this.title);return false;",
                   'title' => ':title'
                )
            ),
            // highlight day: 12 with custom template and wrapper tag
            12 => array(
                'template' => ':num',
                'wrapper' => array(
                   'tag' => 'td',
                   'id'    => null,
                   'class' => 'cal-thu',
                   'format' => 'j F, Y',
                   'style' => 'color:red;background:green',
                   'title' => 'some :title'
                )
            )
        );
$cal->highlightDays($days);
$cal->render(0);

Create a css folder as the same level as sytem, application and img folder.
Find a file called example.css in the unzipped folder. Move this file to css folder.
