 Calendaring Class
 #################

 The Calendar class enables you to dynamically create calendars. Your
 calendars can be formatted through the use of a calendar template,
 allowing 100% control over every aspect of its design. In addition, you
 can pass data to your calendar cells.

 ***************************
 Using the Calendaring Class
 ***************************

 Initializing the Class
 ======================

 Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the Calendar class is
 initialized in your controller using the $this->load->library function::

 	$this->load->library('calendar');

 Once loaded, the Calendar object will be available using::

 	$this->calendar

 Displaying a Calendar
 =====================

 Here is a very simple example showing how you can display a calendar::

 	$this->load->library('calendar');
 	echo $this->calendar->generate();

 The above code will generate a calendar for the current month/year based
 on your server time. To show a calendar for a specific month and year
 you will pass this information to the calendar generating function::

 	$this->load->library('calendar');
 	echo $this->calendar->generate(2006, 6);

 The above code will generate a calendar showing the month of June in
 2006. The first parameter specifies the year, the second parameter
 specifies the month.

 Passing Data to your Calendar Cells
 ===================================

 To add data to your calendar cells involves creating an associative
 array in which the keys correspond to the days you wish to populate and
 the array value contains the data. The array is passed to the third
 parameter of the calendar generating function. Consider this example::

 	$this->load->library('calendar');

 	$data = array(
 		3  => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/03/',
 		7  => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/07/',
 		13 => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/13/',
 		26 => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/26/'
 	);

 	echo $this->calendar->generate(2006, 6, $data);

 Using the above example, day numbers 3, 7, 13, and 26 will become links
 pointing to the URLs you've provided.

 .. note:: By default it is assumed that your array will contain links.
 	In the section that explains the calendar template below you'll see how
 	you can customize how data passed to your cells is handled so you can
 	pass different types of information.

 Setting Display Preferences
 ===========================

 There are seven preferences you can set to control various aspects of
 the calendar. Preferences are set by passing an array of preferences in
 the second parameter of the loading function. Here is an example::

 	$prefs = array(
 		'start_day'    => 'saturday',
 		'month_type'   => 'long',
 		'day_type'     => 'short'
 	);

 	$this->load->library('calendar', $prefs);

 	echo $this->calendar->generate();

 The above code would start the calendar on saturday, use the "long"
 month heading, and the "short" day names. More information regarding
 preferences below.

 ======================  =================  ============================================  ===================================================================
 Preference              Default            Options                                       Description
 ======================  =================  ============================================  ===================================================================
 **template**           	None               None                                          A string or array containing your calendar template.
 											   See the template section below.
 **local_time**        	time()             None                                          A Unix timestamp corresponding to the current time.
 **start_day**           sunday             Any week day (sunday, monday, tuesday, etc.)  Sets the day of the week the calendar should start on.
 **month_type**          long               long, short                                   Determines what version of the month name to use in the header.
 											   long = January, short = Jan.
 **day_type**            abr                long, short, abr                              Determines what version of the weekday names to use in
 											   the column headers. long = Sunday, short = Sun, abr = Su.
 **show_next_prev**      FALSE              TRUE/FALSE (boolean)                          Determines whether to display links allowing you to toggle
 											   to next/previous months. See information on this feature below.
 **next_prev_url**       controller/method  A URL                                         Sets the basepath used in the next/previous calendar links.
 **show_other_days**     FALSE              TRUE/FALSE (boolean)                          Determines whether to display days of other months that share the
 											   first or last week of the calendar month.
 ======================  =================  ============================================  ===================================================================


 Showing Next/Previous Month Links
 =================================

 To allow your calendar to dynamically increment/decrement via the
 next/previous links requires that you set up your calendar code similar
 to this example::

 	$prefs = array(
 		'show_next_prev'  => TRUE,
 		'next_prev_url'   => 'http://example.com/index.php/calendar/show/'
 	);

 	$this->load->library('calendar', $prefs);

 	echo $this->calendar->generate($this->uri->segment(3), $this->uri->segment(4));

 You'll notice a few things about the above example:

 -  You must set the "show_next_prev" to TRUE.
 -  You must supply the URL to the controller containing your calendar in
    the "next_prev_url" preference. If you don't, it will be set to the current
    *controller/method*.
 -  You must supply the "year" and "month" to the calendar generating
    function via the URI segments where they appear (Note: The calendar
    class automatically adds the year/month to the base URL you
    provide.).

 Creating a Calendar Template
 ============================

 By creating a calendar template you have 100% control over the design of
 your calendar. Using the string method, each component of your calendar
 will be placed within a pair of pseudo-variables as shown here::

 	$prefs['template'] = '

 		{table_open}<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">{/table_open}

 		{heading_row_start}<tr>{/heading_row_start}

 		{heading_previous_cell}<th><a href="{previous_url}">&lt;&lt;</a></th>{/heading_previous_cell}
 		{heading_title_cell}<th colspan="{colspan}">{heading}</th>{/heading_title_cell}
 		{heading_next_cell}<th><a href="{next_url}">&gt;&gt;</a></th>{/heading_next_cell}

 		{heading_row_end}</tr>{/heading_row_end}

 		{week_row_start}<tr>{/week_row_start}
 		{week_day_cell}<td>{week_day}</td>{/week_day_cell}
 		{week_row_end}</tr>{/week_row_end}

 		{cal_row_start}<tr>{/cal_row_start}
 		{cal_cell_start}<td>{/cal_cell_start}
 		{cal_cell_start_today}<td>{/cal_cell_start_today}
 		{cal_cell_start_other}<td class="other-month">{/cal_cell_start_other}

 		{cal_cell_content}<a href="{content}">{day}</a>{/cal_cell_content}
 		{cal_cell_content_today}<div class="highlight"><a href="{content}">{day}</a></div>{/cal_cell_content_today}

 		{cal_cell_no_content}{day}{/cal_cell_no_content}
 		{cal_cell_no_content_today}<div class="highlight">{day}</div>{/cal_cell_no_content_today}

 		{cal_cell_blank}&nbsp;{/cal_cell_blank}

 		{cal_cell_other}{day}{cal_cel_other}

 		{cal_cell_end}</td>{/cal_cell_end}
 		{cal_cell_end_today}</td>{/cal_cell_end_today}
 		{cal_cell_end_other}</td>{/cal_cell_end_other}
 		{cal_row_end}</tr>{/cal_row_end}

 		{table_close}</table>{/table_close}
 	';

 	$this->load->library('calendar', $prefs);

 	echo $this->calendar->generate();

 Using the array method, you will pass `key => value` pairs. You can pass as
 many or as few values as you'd like. Omitted keys will use the default values
 inherited in the calendar class.

 Example::

 	$prefs['template'] = array(
 		'table_open'           => '<table class="calendar">',
 		'cal_cell_start'       => '<td class="day">',
 		'cal_cell_start_today' => '<td class="today">'
 	);

 	$this->load->library('calendar', $prefs);

 	echo $this->calendar->generate();
