Add the correct date field class to the classes array, so we can color it. (with the fullcalendar classname module)

Add a taxonomy term to the content type (checkbook) and color by taxonomy

You can't do that... You have to make a custom module that implements the color hook and stuff.

Actually, I like this idea. I'll think it over as a possible feature.

Ok I have a working patch.

1) The attached patch needs to be included in fullcalendar core. That way each event will get one extra class.

Structured like this: 'fc-event-field-[field_name]'

So if you create a new date field and you call it: field_date.
The class will look like 'fc-event-field-field_date'.

2) I created a new module called: 'fullcalendar_colors_extension'. You can find the sandbox here: http://drupal.org/sandbox/aspilicious/1175528 . Hopefully I can create a project page soon. This module will hold some extra color goodies not included into the core fullcalendar module.

This module provides a new tab in the UI where you can link any fullcalendar event classname to a color. So if you add 'fc-event-field-[field_name]' you can give it a custom color.

santam Yeah I noticed the same thats why I made the module even slicker today :D.

You need to apply the patch in http://drupal.org/node/1178258 and update the module I wrote :). (I just pushed a new settings page)

1) In the settings page you change the processing order. You need the drag the fullcalendar colors extension to the bottom of the list.

2) In the classname list you should delete the fc-event-default color as it will overide the content type color if there are no date-field-classnames added (after you did step 1).

I hope this makes sense...

I have thought about this some more and I reworked parts of the extension module.

Some images

This now give you the flexibility to:

- color fields
- color gcal
- color default
- color node
- color user
- color taxonomy

All at the same time.

If you wonna try this and installed the module before, please uninstall first as I used a different table name.

Thats because I made a mistake with the uninstall hook.

1) Copy the new files (before uninstalling)
2) Uninstall
3) Remove any "fullcalendar_colors_*" tables from the phpmyadmin (if still present)
4) Install again.

I'm srry, still learning ;)

We completely broke this stuff this week.

Patch in #8 still applies.

Updated the summary

I believe this enhancement is something we are looking for on our site. We installed fullcalendar today but did not see these options for classes.

Can you confirm if this is committed to the module or still in dev status?

Our scenario is we have river cruises. So for each ship we have the up river dates as 1 field and the down river as another field.
We want to put these date in one calendar view using 2 different colors.

Thanks for the great module!

This is NOT yet commited, it's up to tim when he has the time to review this.
And yes this is the patch you need.

The classes option will be avalaible in a submodule fullcalendar_classnames (or fullcalendar_classes, not sure yet).
Won't be rdy before the end of septembre for a number of reasons.

BUT if this patch gets in you can add the color css code manually to your theme. See point 3 in the drupal 6 section of http://drupal.org/node/1237784 for an example.

Much thanks for the reply and help!

Patch in #8 is rdy for 3 months. I tested it with 2 small localhost test sites. It just add a class.
Marking this rtbc so it don't get lost again ;)

Moving to tim

Why the extra variable? Couldn't the initial $entity->class remain, and further down do $entity->class .= ' fc-event-field-' . $field['field_name'];?

Yes you're right. I'll make another patch if you want that.

Even smaller patch. Didn't test this one.

For fear of breaking the ajax patches, I will commit this right AFTER I merge those in. Which should be soon.

Apologies if this is off topic.

I installed the updated FullCalendar Module -- Thanks Tim.

When I goto admin/config/calendar/fullcalendar/colors I do not observe the extra color choices as noted in this image. #14

http://drupal.org/files/issues/fullcalendar_color_extension_0.png

I have attached a screen image to show that I have "node" "taxonomy" and "user".

My goal is to theme 2 date fields within the same node 2 different colors and then display on the calendar. All is set up now and ready to add the colors.

Thank you!

Any suggestions on if this is a bug or feature request? Thanks!

This is a "feature request" there is one patch left that needs to get in. Afterwards I'll make a video how to color on date fields :).

@aspilicious thank you sir. Need help to test the patch? Any eta?

Cheers!

Feel free to investigate and reply on this issue ==> http://drupal.org/node/1218488

I'm going to close this one.

Here is a remake of the patch in #8 that applies to 7.x-2.0-beta3. Some of the code has changed since then but with a little digging I was able to get that patch working again. Hope this helps someone else.
