DayCal: 39

Intro

DayCal is part of the Calendar Pack, which comprises DayCal, ResourceCal and MonthCal. It is an extended version of the CalLite function.


DayCal( displayStartDate ; displayNumDays ; "dateFieldName" ; "startTimeFieldName" ; "durationFieldName" ; "descriptionFieldName" {; "colorFieldName"; "titleFieldName" ; "actionOnApptSelect" ; "actionOnDaySelect" } )


Parameters

1 displayStartDate The first date to show on the calendar. Can be a date in quotes or the name of a field (on either the parent or the child table) containing the date, or a calculation producing a date. If a field name is used, it is NOT enclosed in quotes.
2 displayNumDays The number of days to show. The width of each day shown is fixed, so you will see as many days as will fit in the Web Viewer you’ve drawn. Can be a number or the name of a field (on either the parent or the child table) containing the number of days, or a calculation producing a number. If a field name is used, it is NOT enclosed in quotes.
3 dateFieldName

The field on the child (appointment) table containing the appointment date. Must be of type Date. The field name needs to be enclosed in quotes and be the full TO::FieldName form. Note that the field name parameters should not be calc fields if you want to be able to update records.
4 startTimeFieldName

The field on the appointment table containing the Start Time of the appointment. Must be of type Time. The field name needs to be the full name and enclosed in quotes.
5 durationFieldName

The field on the appointment table containing the Duration of the appointment. The field name needs to be the full name and enclosed in quotes.
6 descriptionFieldName

The field on the appointment table containing the Description of the appointment. The field name needs to be the full name and enclosed in quotes.
7 colorFieldname
(opt)

The field on the appointment table containing the Color to be used for the appointment. The field name needs to be the full name and enclosed in quotes. Note that a hex or RGB() value is expected.
8 titleFieldName
(opt)

The field on the appointment table containing the Title to be used as the top line of the appointment. The field name needs to be the full name and enclosed in quotes.
9 actionOnApptSelect
(opt)

The name of the script or a command to run on selection of an appointment. (useful for obtaining the record number of the record currently being edited). See note on syntax below.
10 actionOnDaySelect
(opt)

The name of the script or a command to run on selection of a day. See note on syntax below.


What you need to know


Action parameter examples:

“Script=Get DayCal Value”, or, with optional parameter, “Script=Get DayCal Value|GetField=Duration”.

“SetField=DayCal selected ID|GetField=Duration”.

For more info, see the Action Parameter section of Calendar Pack.


Improvements over version 1:


The following are the main changes in this version:

  • Deletion now works with the Delete key, not when appointments are dragged to minimum size.
  • The width of the Web Viewer is always fully utilised, stretching to the optimal number of days.
  • If no date is specified, the default date is today.
  • Improved editing: <CR> characters and HTML tags inside elements are left intact. Bullet points are catered for.
  • Easier customisation: see below.
  • Better debugging help.

  • Updates are "animated": you see an appointment moving when you change its date, color or duration.


Customisation

With some knowledge of Javascript, you can make a number of customisations. For more information about DayCal customisations, see DayCal Customisation.


Miscellaneous Requirements


The DayCal requires the use of the zMODid field, and uses the relationship between the 'home' table and the 'appointment' table. You should read the Complex Controls page to understand the requirements for this feature.
