Kinky ColdFusion Calendar System Almost There

This morning, I cleaned up the Add / Edit page of my up coming ColdFusion calendar system - Kinky Calendar System.

Kinky ColdFusion Calendar System - Add / Update Page Finalized  
 
 
 

Right now, I am using plain old text boxes for both the dates and the times of an event. I have decided not to do anything special here because as people try to integrate this calendar system into existing applications, I am sure that they are most likely going to have date-selector widgets and time-selector widgets already in place. This keeps the Kinky ColdFusion calendar system light weight and not too intrusive; easy integration is a primary goal here as this wasn't really designed to be a stand-alone application (although, certainly it could be beefed out to be).

So far, I have already gotten some great feedback on people that have attempted to integrate this calendar into existing applications (talking about bleeding edge :)). Here is what I have left to do:

  • Delete event page
  • Day view page
  • Overall code clean up
  • Color coding events (based on early user feedback)

This is some very impressive stuff Ben. I love the UI as well. Keep up the great work.

@Javier,

Thanks dude. Doing what I can. Not having any date/time input widgets is making the data validation a bit of a pain, but if I can get it down solid, then it will be widget independent, which will be sweet-ass.

Hi Ben,

One suggestion;

In month view, when a date has multiple entries, it isn't completely obvious, perhaps a little css hover technique to highlite individual events.

@Christopher,

Yeah, I was fooling around with how to make that seem better. Originally, I actually had a box, but then that started to look like too many boxes. Maybe I will try a middot (·). Some CSS hover would do good also, but sometimes, if there are too many items, I find that :hover pseudo classes have very shaky performance.
