I have looked up and down but I don't know how to change in the overview module to spell the days of the week with just two letters on this site: http://www.vhs-lengerich.de/joomla
I know it must be hidden somewhere in the #datepicker with daynamesmin, but I cannot seem to find either the datepicker (is it part of the fullcalendar.min.js?) or part of a module where this can be configured.
Where is the correct place to configure two letter day names, as they are used in German?
Assuming the site is using jQuery UI Datepicker indeed, you could just set the days after initializing the datepicker like this:
$("#datepicker").datepicker("option", "dayNamesMin", ['So','Mo','Di','Mi','Do','Fr','Sa'] );

Currently I'm using an argument that doesn't allow new items older than today's date. I would like to change this to have either an and/or argument to only allow dates of today and/or less than three days from today.
Example being; if today is 2/9, allow them to add any dates from 2/9-2/12. Otherwise the validation will give an error for "Out of Range".
Currently I'm using the below code:
=[Appt Time]>TODAY()
I've tried using this as well, but the code is not working. I assume it's due to formatting, or my argument is just totally wrong:
=AND(TODAY()>[Appt Time], [Appt Time]<TODAY()+3)
Thank in advance.
I believe I've cracked it. Wrong formula entered into the validation field: =AND([Appt Time]>TODAY(),[Appt Time]<TODAY()+4)
I have unix timestamp in table, wants to show to user using Carbon. How can I achieve ?
e.g.
1487663764.99256 To
2017-02-24 23:23:14.654621
Did you check the carbon docs? I think this is what youre looking for:
Carbon::createFromTimestamp(-1)->toDateTimeString();
Checkout http://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/#api-instantiation
There are several ways to create Carbon instances described in the Carbon documentation, which is linked at the bottom of the project's README. The relevant section is this:
The final two create functions are for working with unix timestamps. The first will create a Carbon instance equal to the given timestamp and will set the timezone as well or default it to the current timezone. The second, createFromTimestampUTC(), is different in that the timezone will remain UTC (GMT). The second acts the same as Carbon::createFromFormat('#'.$timestamp) but I have just made it a little more explicit. Negative timestamps are also allowed.
So you can just do:
$carbon = Carbon::createFromTimestamp($dbResult['SomeTimestampColumn']);
If you really love your fluid method calls and get frustrated by the extra line or ugly pair of brackets necessary when using the constructor you'll enjoy the parse method:
Carbon::parse(1487663764);
Carbon::parse('first day of next month');
First of, is there any real documentation of the toolkit ? What I would like is to specify a range of selectable dates. For example I don't want to display dates before today. If the user select a start date of Jan. 27th 2012, I want to allow only dates after these for the return date
Documentation is a little bit sparse for the toolkit - your best bet is to look in the source of the sample app but they don't cover all the scenarios.
The default control doesn't seem to support a minimum or maximum value for the selected date, but if you download the source you should be able to modify it according to your needs. The layout of the source is pretty straightforward and you should be able to find an acceptable place to add the code, the only thing you need to decide is how you handle it from a UI perspective. In my opinion, you are better off handling the range check once the control returns - if it is an invalid date, pop up a message and re-show the control.
I've found that in the absence of documentation, the WindowsPhoneGeek blog (in this specific case see link here) usually does a good job of explaining the Silverlight Toolkit components in their various articles.
These articles can be a great help when following ZombieSheep's advice of taking a look at the toolkit sample code.

For my application, I'm importing the calendar event from google calendar. The only problem which I'm facing is Time zone list. I'm getting the timezone as output from google calendar xml, which I have to check with time zone list and add time accordingly... so from where I can get this standard time zone list.. or some other alternative to achieve the same.
If you're using Java, use Joda Time - the time zone ID given by Google Calendar will be one the Joda Time understands. The standard TimeZone class may well understand it too, but I think Joda is more likely to.
Assuming you're seeing all the VTIMEZONE stuff that goes along with the event, you can ignore the details - just use the ID.
Unfortunately there are some time zone IDs which have changed over time - I can't remember any examples off-hand, but you may need to do some translations if you're provided with the "old" names.
If you're using .NET, you really need to be using .NET 3.5 and the TimeZoneInfo class. Unfortunately that uses Windows names instead of Olson IDs, but there's a translation list available somewhere (I can dig it out if you want).
If you're not using either of these platforms, you basically need to find a library which supports Olson Zoneinfo names. (That wikipedia article has some helpful links at the bottom.)
I would definitely try to find a library which will be able to give you the relevant information based on an ID, rather than using the rules given back in the calendar entry. Time zones change over time, and the zoneinfo database contains historical and future information, but that can't be easily encoded in the calendar entry.
There are some good articles about working with Erlang date/time libraries here:
http://www.trapexit.org/Category:DateTimeRecipes
Hope it helps.
Check out these function
calendar:datetime_to_gregorian_seconds({Date, Time})
calendar:gregorian_seconds_to_datetime(Seconds) -> {Date, Time}
Converting to "gregorian seconds" and correcting the timezone-offset and converting back to date form is half the solution.
There is no library to access timezone datafiles in Erlang/OTP, and as far as I know there is no third part library to get at it either. So your options are to yourself convert the available timezone databases to something usable from Erlang, or to settle for just knowing a few of them.
You know, unless you want to start a project to read timezone data in Erlang. :-)
