Almanack

Build Status Gem Version

A calendar that combines events from different sources (such as Google Calendar, Meetup.com, and iCal feeds), and can be hosted for free on Heroku.

Sinatra GCal example

See a demo running at http://christchurch.events.geek.nz

Features

  • Aggregate multiple calendars together into one stream
  • Supports iCal feeds (incuding Google Calendars)
  • Supports Meetup.com groups
  • Just supply a hash to create any arbitrary event
  • Supports being freely hosted on Heroku
  • 100% customisable themes with Sass and CoffeeScript support

Installation

Run the following command:

gem install almanack

Creating a calendar

Generate a new calendar with:

almanack new my-calendar

This will create a directory called my-calendar and set up your new project.

Once set up, run:

cd my-calendar
almanack start

By default, your calendar will run on http://localhost:9292.

Configuration

See examples inside config.ru for iCal feeds, Meetup.com, or static events.

Almanack.config do |c|
  c.title = 'My Calendar'
  c.theme = 'my-custom-theme'
  c.days_lookahead = 30
  c.add_ical_feed 'http://example.org/events.ics'
  c.add_ical_feed 'http://example.org/more-events.ics'
  c.add_meetup_group group_urlname: 'Christchurch-Ruby-Group', key: 'mysecretkey'
end

Note: You'll need your Meetup.com API key to use Meetup.

Custom themes

Inside your project, you can generate a new theme with:

almanack theme my-theme-name

Remember to update your config.ru to switch themes:

Almanack.config do |c|
  ...
  c.theme = 'my-theme-name'
  ...
end

Deploying to Heroku

Deployment works with Git and Heroku. First, add your work to git (an repository is already initialized for you when you run almanack new):

git add .
git commit -m "My awesome calendar"

With the Heroku Toolbelt installed:

almanack deploy my-awesome-calendar

Will create and deploy http://my-awesome-calendar.herokuapp.com/.

Subsequent commits can be deployed with just:

almanack deploy
