Daily Scheduler Calendar

Purchase and DownloadThe Daily Scheduler is a web calendar that can be installed directly from the Adobe Dreamweaver's menu and that includes a web-based admin system to edit the entries and control the settings.

This calendar has the following features:

  • Allows to create entries for each day, indicating, optionally, start and end times for each entry.
  • Supports three types of entries:
    1. With both start time and end time defined
    2. Only start time defined
    3. Without defined start or end time
  • Supports recurring events on weekly basis, ex.: all Mondays at 09.00 AM, all Saturdays at 10.00 PM, etc. Note: only recurring events of weekly frequency are supported, without exception, excluding any other type of recurring events (more information below).
  • Can be used to visualize calendar entries on a public site, where additional information will be shown in floating panels.
  • Can be used as a reservation calendar. If inserted into a reservation form, can be used as a date picker to select start and end dates.
  • Includes an HTML (WYSIWYG) Editor, to edit calendar entries.
  • Supports 12 hours (AM/PM) or 24 hours format.

New: Dreamweaver is no longer a mandatory requirement for this product. Beside a Dreamweaver extension, we are launching a version that can be used directly, without having to use Dreamweaver, just by copying the files and pasting the code into your webpage.

Includes three types of appearance on a website:

  • Type 1: Small Calendar - only a small calendar is shown; rolling the mouse over a day, a floating panel is shown with the entries associated to that day, if any. This option is useful if you wish to locate the calendar in a sidebar or in a small area of the central content. Click the following link to see an example:

    Click to open the Demo for Type 1 Calendar.

  • Type 2: Large Calendar - shows a bigger calendar that occupies the main content of a page, where entries' titles are shown directly in the related day cells, while the remaining information is shown in floating panels, which appear once the mouse is rolled over the titles. Click the following link to see an example:

    Click to open the Demo for Type 2 Calendar.

  • Type 3: Reservation Calendar - to be used as a date picker in a web reservation form. Please click the following link to see an example:

    Click to open the Demo for Type 3 Calendar.

All admin and visualization is made using modern Ajax technologies. This product does not require any programming knowledge or any hand coding.

Managing the calendar:

Defining working days: Please mark the days that are available to add appointments, activities etc, as shown on this image:

Defining working days

These days will be shown in the calendar as stricken through.

Defining appointment times: To define the time of appointments or activities, go to the day of the needed week (Monday, Tuesday...), where you will have the option to add each time independently (ex. Add Time at 8.00), or if you wish, you can generate, in one step, multiple appointment times for each interval (ex. add starting at 8 AM, every 30 minutes, 5 times; this will generate the sequence: 8.00, 8.30, 9.00, 9.30, 10.00). The following image shows both options:

Defining appointment times

To delete times, mark them and use the button "Delete marked times"

Adding restricted dates: Special days where no appointments or activities will be held, can be entered individually through this opton. Simply click on them to make them as "restricted" and if you wish to "un-restrict" them, simply click on them again. The following image shows the interface for these actions:

Adding restricted dates

Adding information to the calendar: After defining the working days and the schedules you can use the calendar that appears in the upper part to add information on the activities that occupy the established times. For that, click on the desired day and the list of pre-defined times will be shown. Click on the start and end times (date range) and a window will appear where you can enter the title of the activity / appointment and a description, as shown in the following image:

Adding information to the calendar

As you can see, all the work is realized on a single page, which is highly interactive, done in real time with comfortable effects based on modern dynamic scripts.

Changing the visual presentation:

If you wish to modify colours, fonts, size and other calendar styles you can do it by editing Cascading Style Sheets files (.CSS) that define these parameters. These files can be found in these locations:

  • For the main styles: DC_DailyScheduler/DCDailyScheduler.css
  • For general styles: DC_DailyScheduler/calendar.css

We recommend that you make a backup copy before modifying these visual styles.
