Extended jMonthCalendar with drag n drop

For a few weeks me and Magnus (the other guy that is blogging here) have been working on a intranet. Mostly for learning purposes. The other week we needed a calendar to let users have a overlook at their schedule. We started googling a bit and found a great jquery plugin called jMonthCalendar. This was exacly what we needed.

Its a very easy to use plugin with many nice features. But one thing that we missed was the ability to move events around, and to have a easy way of adding new events to the calendar. I decided to take a look at the source and extend it. I added a option for draggable events and a callback for when a event is dropped. I allso added a callback for when a date is dubble clicked, because then we would open a window to add a new event at this date.

I use the drag n drop from jQuery UI, so if you like to take advantage of that functionality, you allso have to reference jQuery UI and ofcourse jQuery.

You can view a example of the extended plugin here. And you can download it with the source here.

The plugin was originally created by Kyle at www.bytecyclist.com/, so all creadit goes to him. Thank you for a nice plugin.
