Recently while on a search for the "perfect" calender/scheduler, I discovered dhtmlx:

They’ve also developed plugins for this for Joomla and Wordpress.
So, it’s taken me a few days (and a bit of hair pulling!) but I have my schedule almost fully worked out (just need to add filtering for locations). The request from my client was that the default viewing was per day, employees appointments could be added/edited/deleted, location of the call out and brief details could be added and all employee appointments were visible on the same page for that day.
It’s really neat!
Has anyone here at MODx used this library - and does anyone know how difficult it may be to provide partial/full integration with MODx? While I can have the schedule running on it’s own exterior to MODx, have it’s own db, and implement some editing rights/permissions it would be great to grant those permissions via the MODx admin interface / database.
