Selection Calendar

[Mike J]

I'm looking to make a selection calendar. I have a general calendar from the theme library and seedcode's free template.

I like the idea that the user can change a global date field to modify the calendar in order to select multiple dates for an event. I don't think I want to get into recursive calcs, frequencies, and occurrences so I'm going with a UI that allows the user to pick the dates (either random or structured).

What I see is attached in the AI Doc. Can some help? The buttons would patterncount the date I guess and set a Date selection global that I would have a finish button to script the creation of the selected dates.

Here's another approach:

Which steers you safely by these juicy things:

into recursive calcs, frequencies, and occurrence

...but take my word for it, you won't be hurt in any way if you take the plunge into them!

Hey Soren,

I was wondering if you could expand or give an example that may help me learn using the context I'm trying to figure out.

One method I'm thinking about is filtering a portal by dates.

A user in my DB makes requests and would most likely follow up on the status of these requests sometime in the future.

Now assume it's the future and the user made several requests (1 month ago, 2 weeks ago and yesterday). Using the get (currentdate) how would I recurse backwards from today's date. All the user would see is

Filter Requests: Today; 2 Days; 1 week; 2 weeks

I would also have a separate field that user can select date ranges if they have a sense when the request was made...start date and end date with a check that start date and end date are not reversed.

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks

Mike
