Topic: Suggestion: Monthly Calendar Widget

Would display current month with the current day blinking. Even better if left and right arrows would let you move the calendar to the past or future, and a pull down to choose month/year.

Re: Suggestion: Monthly Calendar Widget

I second the idea of a widget to display a calendar -- I'd also like to scroll from month to month.

Re: Suggestion: Monthly Calendar Widget

I'd like it to sync with facebook (etc?) so that events can be viewed on the calendar on the appropriate date.

Outlook sync? or general Active Sync? If only Outlook could output its datas in a really simple, syndicated way...

Re: Suggestion: Monthly Calendar Widget

If anyone wants to do a widget that draws on XML calendar data, I have a web site that will generate a lot of different calendars, in XML or HTML. The site's been running for years, and several organizations
depend on it, so I plan to keep it going indefinitely.

Here's how to get the XML (using my own XML tags, but they should be pretty obvious) for the current month:

    http://hardysystems.com/beta/calendars. … format=xml

And here is how that same data looks when it's processed on my server to generate HTML:

    http://hardysystems.com/beta/calendars. … lt=default



If you want the XML for, say October of 2010, the XML would look like this:

    http://hardysystems.com/beta/calendars. … amp;y=2010

And similarly, the HTML page would be:

    http://hardysystems.com/beta/calendars. … amp;y=2010

What benefits does your XML offer over calculating my own calendar grid?

Probably nothing. The reason for the calendar software is for people to have an account where they enter events. In that case, the XML will include their events. I wasn't really think carefully that if a calendar is blank, the XML doesn't offer any advantage over creating one's own calendar.

Re: Suggestion: Monthly Calendar Widget

So is it possible to create a widget that uses your calendar and fills it with events?
