django-events

An app for tagging arbitrary models with "events". An event is a simple model with a DateTime start and (optional) end. A small amount of metadata is also contained, title, slug, description.

The idea is to have templatetags for tagging objects with datepicker and timepickr jQuery-UI widgets inside a dialog.

Likewise, an overview calendar for model_instances will be obtainable.

Requirements

• Django 1.1+
• jQuery 1.3+

This app is being built for pinax-0.7+. Your mileage may vary out of the box in other environments. For quick integration you will need a current copy django-uni_form, for instance.

Install

• Check out the code onto your path as events:

  git clone git://github.com/skyl/django-events.git events
  

• Add 'events' to INSTALLED_APPS

• add (r'^events/', include('events.urls')), to your urlpatterns

• syncdb

For Pinax you can take the additional steps, add to the right_tabs block in site_base.html:

<li id="tab_events"><a href="{% url events_all %}">{% trans "Events" %}</a></li>

In site_tabs.css you can add rules for body.events #tab_events a and body.events #tab_events.

Pinax Usage

In the template with the object(s) you want to tag add:

{% load events_tags %}

Where you would like the link to add an event to a model instance:

{% event_link_add_to myModelInstance 'css_id' %}

To make this link a jQuery dialog widget, in extra_body:

<script type="text/javascript" src="{{MEDIA_URL}}events/js/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{MEDIA_URL}}events/js/ui.datepicker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{MEDIA_URL}}events/js/jquery.utils.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{MEDIA_URL}}events/js/jquery.strings.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{MEDIA_URL}}events/js/ui.dropslide.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{MEDIA_URL}}events/js/ui.timepickr.js"></script>

<style>
    div.ui-datepicker {z-index:10000000;}
</style>

{% add_event_to myModelinstance 'css_id' %}

Note that you can choose 'css_id' for these tags but they must match.

Add css for the widget to extra_head:

{% include 'events/widgetCSS.html' %}

To add a link to all of the events for a model instance:

{% link_to_events_for myModelInstance 'css_class' %}
