AJAX Calendar

Nov 25, 2005 | Tags: ajax, plugin, theme, wordpress | Written by John

After all the hype and bubble-blowing, I decided to dip my little pinkie into the mix and experiment with AJAX. The result has been the release of a new plugin, cleverly titled 'AJAX Calendar'. Once installed this allows the standard WordPress calendar function to be enhanced such that:

Stepping through the months is now asynchronous, and only updates the calendar Clicking on the calendar title takes you back to the current month Clicking on the funny Â«-Â» button will expand the calendar and display the posts headings for that month All content is cached Works in most browsers

The plugin requires modifications to the WordPress theme, although these modifications have been included in version 1.23 of the Giraffe theme.

Have a play.

Hi, this plugin seems to be great, and I want to use this in my site. I tried this in my local test site (xampp + firefox), and I have a couple of request to improve.

1) Link to prev/next month
In your site, for example, there are no entry in October 2005. So the calender of November shows "Sep" as a link to previous month, however, when clicking on the link, the calendar of October shows up. I want it be consistent.

2) Compatibility with WP2.0
This does not work with Wordpress2.0RC1. Wors fine with Wordpress1.5.2. Sorry if you have already noticed it, but I appreciate you could soon release the compatible version after official release of WP2.0.
