[solved] Calendaring customization [highlighting the current month] - BabalooAye - 11-25-2016
I made a method that writes a view with a calendar table which shows all months of a year using the calendaring class. It works as well, and returns this:

But I didn't found a way to highlight only the current month using a template in the calendaring class. I tried to modify the default template but it doesn't work because when I change the class of '{heading_title_cell}<th colspan="{colspan}">{heading}</th>{/heading_title_cell}', it modifies all the month's labels like this:

I'm using the default methods from the basic class tutorial. Any suggestion?

Create a method to check the month and then a method to highlight the current month, you may want to create a MY_ class for this.

You mean a function that returns the table array template depending on the month and year that was set? Something like a helper function?

Yes, you can also extend the Calendar library with MY_Calendar

Well, I guess that extending is the right way because the template array is passed on CI_Calendar loading. Thanks, I'll try here.

I extended the CI_Calendar and made the generate() method pass his $month variable to the parse_template($cur_month) method, then, he uses $cur_month to apply an exception and assign the class="info" to heading_row_start:
PHP Code:
if (is_string($this->template)) {
$today = array('cal_cell_start_today','cal_cell_content_today','cal_cell_no_content_today','cal_cell_end_today');
foreach (array('table_open', 'table_close', 'heading_row_start', 'heading_previous_cell', 'heading_title_cell', 'heading_next_cell', 'heading_row_end', 'week_row_start', 'week_day_cell', 'week_row_end', 'cal_row_start', 'cal_cell_start', 'cal_cell_content', 'cal_cell_no_content', 'cal_cell_blank', 'cal_cell_end', 'cal_row_end', 'cal_cell_start_today', 'cal_cell_content_today', 'cal_cell_no_content_today', 'cal_cell_end_today', 'cal_cell_start_other', 'cal_cell_other', 'cal_cell_end_other') as $val) {
if (preg_match('/\{' . $val . '\}(.*?)\{\/' . $val . '\}/si', $this->template, $match)) {
if($val == 'heading_row_start'){
if( $cur_month == date('m')){
$this->replacements[$val] = '<tr class="info">';
}
}
else{
$this->replacements[$val] = $match[1];
}
}
elseif (in_array($val, $today, TRUE)) {
$this->replacements[$val] = $this->replacements[substr($val, 0, -6)];
}
}
}
Result:
