Having killed the old blog, I’ve decided not to migrate the posts over. That being said, I think there was some solid information in those posts so I’d like to rehash a bit of it. First up: django-gencal.

For those who don’t know, django-gencal is a generic calendaring application. It accepts arbitrary objects for plotting on a calendar. In the checkout, there is a template-tag and a some suggested templates. In the docstring, I’ve also included some suggested CSS to style the template. The expected format for input is:

 
[{'day':myobj.datetime, 'title':myobj.name, 'class':"optional", 'url':myobj.get_absolute_url()},
{'day':myobj.datetime, 'title':myobj2.name, 'class':"optional", 'url':myobj2.get_absolute_url()}]

I’ll be generating an example in the coming weeks so you can see this in action. Perhaps even a screencast as I just recently purchased iShowU.
