During this time I didn't have much time to help with problems regarding the vlaCalendar. My excuse for that. I'm aware of the problems with the calendar regarding the Client-side Extension and regarding IE8. I've decided not to provide any more support for the vlaCalendar - perhaps besides some quick fixes - and focus on a completely new version branded as 'Calendar Eightysix'. Calendar Eightysix will be ajax-less, better customizable and will have more features. Drop feature requests in the comments. 1 http://dev.base86.com/solo/50/back_in_business.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/50/back_in_business.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/50/back_in_business.html#comments Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100 After dozens of emails and comments regarding commercial use of the calendar I've decided to provide a commercial license. The license includes vlaCalendar version 1, version 2 and the client-side extension version 1. 1 http://dev.base86.com/solo/49/vlacalendar_commercial_license_available.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/49/vlacalendar_commercial_license_available.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/49/vlacalendar_commercial_license_available.html#comments Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100 Here's a handy little function for easing the development process with Actionscript 3 in Flex and Flash: an equivalent of PHP's recursive print function print_r, which displays objects and arrays in a way that's readable by humans. 4 http://dev.base86.com/solo/47/actionscript_3_equivalent_of_phps_printr.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/47/actionscript_3_equivalent_of_phps_printr.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/47/actionscript_3_equivalent_of_phps_printr.html#comments Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100 The initial vlaCalendar was developed for use with database data. So the calendar uses AJAX calls to PHP parsed documents. This made the calendar only usable for users who have a PHP server. Huy Do and I developed an extension that makes the vlaCalendar AJAX-less, and thus PHP-less: the client-side only extension for vlaCalendar v2.1. 1 http://dev.base86.com/solo/46/client-side_only_extension_for_vlacalendar_v21.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/46/client-side_only_extension_for_vlacalendar_v21.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/46/client-side_only_extension_for_vlacalendar_v21.html#comments Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100 A new version of my Vista-like Ajax Calendar (vlaCalendar) has been released: version 2.1 is made compatible with mootools installment, version 1.2, and offers some new features. 1 http://dev.base86.com/solo/45/vlacalendar_version_21_released.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/45/vlacalendar_version_21_released.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/45/vlacalendar_version_21_released.html#comments Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100 At first I decided to make the vlaCalendar compatible with mootools 1.2 when its gets out of beta stage. But I've received lot of e-mails and comments from people wanting to use the calendar with the beta version, which made me decide to make vlaCalender v2 also compatible with mootools 1.2 beta2! 1 http://dev.base86.com/solo/43/vlacalendar_v2_compatible_with_mootools_12b2.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/43/vlacalendar_v2_compatible_with_mootools_12b2.html http://dev.base86.com/solo/43/vlacalendar_v2_compatible_with_mootools_12b2.html#comments Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100
