calendar_helper now highlights todays date
I contributed my first ever open source patch this weekend, to Geoffrey Grosenbachs awesomely simple calendar_helper Rails plugin.
You can install this into your current rails app with:script/plugin install http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/calendar_helper
My humble patch added the ability to display the current date on the calendar like so (the magic blue square):
svn diff > patch_file_name.diff
And it creates this wonderful magic patch file that details all the changes you’ve made! I just had to send this to Geoffrey and he did some subversion magic to easily commit my changes.
I think this creating patch thing is gonna get addictive…
ALSO I note that Tom Armitage added some functionality into this patch as well to do with what markup the calendar uses. (It was also his first patch experience). Find him here: Another day, another release – updated calendar_helper
