Updated WB AJAX Calendar 2:46 PM, Feb 04 2009

Many updates to the WB AJAX Calendar: 

  • OverLIB has been fully integrated with the month and year calendar views. 
  • Inline editing of displayed events is now possible on the month calendar.
  • Added a notification area at the top of the calendar to show which event was just added or modified. 
  • The mini calendar is now makes use of AJAX to display the events list. 

I've added some sample events in February to demonstrate the popups.  Also, the 'number of events to show' setting for the month and mini calendar's is set to 5 to demonstrate how the popup appears for the month calendar and how the event list updates for the mini calendar. 
ISBN Converter 10:44 AM, Dec 06 2008

I work in the publishing industry and as such have to deal with ISBN's on a regular basis.  I am often asked to convert files containing many ISBN-10 titles to ISBN-13.  For well over the past year I have been using some Excel formula's that I found on the web a while back.  This became cumbersome for larger files because of the need to copy/paste the formula's for each title, then verify that the leading zero remained for some of the ISBN's.  To get around all of this, I searched out for some PHP functions that would perform the conversion.  I found some code and a discussion about this here and wrapped some code around it to display a form and make use of the validation functions provided.  The converter and the code can be fetched from this page.
WB AJAX Calendar Backend Pictures 10:43 AM, Dec 06 2008

I've uploaded some pictures of the existing backend of the WB AJAX Calendar.  I hope to provide a more extensive feature list in the next week.  I'm also halfway through the documentation of available features and will post this soon.
Site Launch 10:42 AM, Dec 06 2008

This site is my test site for Websitebaker modules that I develop.  I plan to use this as a way to document the work I do with the Website Baker CMS, and the code I write for it.

I'm currently developing an AJAX calendar for Websitebaker 2.7.x.  The front-end of the module can be viewed by selecting the WB AJAX Calendar Demo link on the menu under Modules.  I hope to have screenshots of the backend, as well as the documentation posted over the next few weeks.  This module is in active development and there are still some CSS issues.  Also, a few of the current features will likely be completely reworked.
