Suggestions on calendars - Please help.

devsie

Me <-- very basic programmer been learning for a month or so now. But dedicated to my one task 🙂 I know some php, mysql and of course html. My javascript is rather limited and mainly comes from what i knew about 7years back.

The problem.
Ideally ... a very interactive calendar that allows my users to enter details for different days which I can store into a mysql table.
Then would like to display the calendar and the entered details. The details would be a few text inputs and couple of check boxes.

I know there are some calendars already available online. And currenlt i use the wonderful "No gray" one, but it won't meet my needs with being able to add details. I'd be interested if anyone could recommend any templates or sources that are adaptable/appropriate.

Someone mentioned using AJAX - but i know nothing about this really and can't see myself having time to learn a whole new load of coding and languages.

I have considered that rather than making the calendar"on the fly" I could just have 12 pages already coded for the year. But that seems like a kinda lame option. Hmmmm.

Many thanks

Lets have a look at google calendar,
and its fetaures, and try to make the same or use it 🙂

Like: invite , global, and share events,
(free- unliminited) SMS AND email notifications.

You can build it with API tools, easily included into a website.

Hello, jjozsi.

I had looked at that but dismissed it. Perhaps prematurely.

I see now that you can embed it into your own site.

However, would I be able to use that with mysql? I think if I did that method I'd need a calendar from google for each of my users. 😕

No, becouse its on google server, and have no acces to it 🙂

Not really. You create your own calendar (similar with the free calendar scripts), but you can use google calendar API to add that request to the user's google account.

I don't say that you must use google, but think of their solutions too.
