    dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 Released with Touch Screen Support

    Wednesday, February 20th, 2013

    We are happy to announce the release of version 3.7 of dhtmlxScheduler. The highlight of this release is the support for touch screens. If you need a Google-like event calendar for your app or website that can be viewed on both desktop and mobile devices, dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 now offers a simple solution for that.

    dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 - Event Calendar for Touch Screens

    With this update, the Scheduler works equally well on large touchscreen monitors, tablets, and smartphones (Windows 8, iOS, and Android devices). Although on phones, the scheduler’s interface is harder to read and navigate because of small screen sizes. Note that we also offer the mobile version of the scheduler for phones.

    In version 3.7, all functionality available in dhtmlxScheduler is working on touch screens. The end users can easily navigate between the calendar views, edit the events by double tap, drag-and-drop the event boxes to change the start/end time of the events, and use other great features of dhtmlxScheduler.

     
    dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 - Quick Info Popup

     
    Another useful enhancement for touch screens is a “Quick info” extension that replaces the sidebar menu placed on the left of the event box. When the end user taps on the event box, the popup appears that contains additional information about the event and buttons “Details” and “Delete” (by default). You can configure the Quick info popup to display any other information about the event or add custom buttons (e.g. “Register” or “Book an appointment”, if you use dhtmlxScheduler as a booking calendar).

    Version 3.7 also includes fixes for all known bugs which improves Scheduler’s performance and stability.

    Download the Standard Edition of dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 and enjoy the new features. Those who have the PRO Edition of dhtmlxScheduler with active support subscription will receive the download link by email.

    How To Synchronize dhtmlxScheduler with Google Calendar

    Monday, September 10th, 2012

    Today we want to show you an effortless way to synchronize dhtmlxScheduler and Google Calendar. So if you need to store your events and appointments in both calendars, you won’t miss any appointed event ever.

    Google Calendar is one of the most popular online web calendars and that’s why it’s so essential to give developers a quick and simple way to synchronize dhtmlxScheduler with it. The synchronization feature has been available before, but now it became really easy.

    The technique of synchronization is pretty simple and based on using a PHP proxy script:

    Synchronization with Google Calendar

    The synchronization script works as a simple proxy between a client-side application (containing dhtmlxScheduler) and Google Calendar. To load events, the scheduler makes a call to the proxy script, which in its turn, makes a call to Google Calendar API. Retrieved data is converted to the scheduler format and loaded to the client side.
