[tomahawk] proposed enhancement to calendar
Hi,
The project I am working on needs to allow users to select a month or a week. At the moment, the tomahawk calendar control only supports selecting a specific day.
Does anyone have an objection if I enhance t:inputCalendar to support a "selectMode" attribute?
selectMode=day, week, month.
The default is the current behaviour: "day". Here, each day in the calendar is a link that selects that day.
When mode=week, the days are no longer links, but just plain text. The "week of year" list on the left of the popup calendar becomes a link instead that selects the first day of the specified week.
When mode=month, a checkbox appears in the popup calendar just to the left of the close-icon. Days and weeks are plain text, not links. When the checkbox is clicked, the selected date is the first day of the specified month.
I've obviously concentrated on the popup for the moment, but will add equivalent feature to the inline calendar too.
If there are no objections, I'll create a JIRA issue then implement it.
By the way, the inline calendar does not currently support weeknumbers, like the popup one does. Adding support now would be tricky for backwards-compatibility reasons. Should it always appear like the popup does (changes current behaviour for inline)? If an attribute should control this, then should it default to true (changes inline default behaviour) or false (changes popup default behaviour)?
Regards,
Simon

Hi Werner,
That email of mine which you replied to is fairly old now; several weeks
at least. Those changes to the inputCalendar are already complete.
I didn't end up making changes to the inline calendar; it is really
quite a different thing from the popup calendar.
I see you've been fixing some layout issues with the inputCalendar
recently which is great. Feel free to keep working; I have no plans to
change anything there in the near future.
Regards,
Simon

+1 from my side, this sounds good.
I started to fixing things in the calendar control as well
on friday, I will stop the fixing until you are done and
will direct my work to other things Tomahawk.

The inline calendar is surely used less than the popup calendar, so
this might help with your decision ;)
