Very useful! With ZF i put this as “services”:

class Service_Calendar

and config Bootstrap for the prefix “Service” on a folder into the project, without touch Zend Library.

@Christian. I agree! That would be the best place for it. I’ll let you know when I get a chance to do just that. Thanks.

@Jaime Neto Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll look into it. Feel free to pass along the fixes if you’ve implemented them.

Nice job. However, there are some notices poping up. I found the issues, here are they:

1 – line 176. “$html .= “, just remove the “.”, as the $html is being created now.

2 – You call $this->localeStr, but did not declare it. Just add “private $localeStr;” at the beginning of the class together with the other properties.

3 – Do not use “onclick” for a select form element. Use “onchange” instead, or it will submit before the user is able to choose the option.

That’s all for now. Good work.

@Oran. You can put the Calendar class anywhere you like! Just make sure its part of your include path. Typically, zend framework components are stored in the ‘/library/Zend’ folder, with the include path set to ‘library’.
ex: set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . ‘/path/to/Zend’);
I would suggest you put the Calendar class inside the ‘library’ folder as well, either on its own, or in another folder called ‘Custom’. If you go the first route, include it in your php files using require_once ‘Calendar.php’; . In the second example use, require_once ‘Custom/Calendar.php’;

Hi Derek,
First of all thanks for the effort
Second, I’m new to ZF and I want to use the calender.
where should I place the Calendar class and the demo code within the ZF project folders, in order to make it work on my website?

Many Thanks,
Oran

@Ben. Good idea! Should have done that myself!

Derek,

This is awesome. Thanks a lot for making it. First thing I added was a __toString overload

public function __toString()
{
return $this->getCalendarHtml();
}

so you can do
