[solved] Calendaring customization [highlighting the current month]

Yes, you can also extend the Calendar library with MY_Calendar

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:
