# Jscalendar

Jscalendar is a javascript equivalent to the [[calendar|plugins/calendar]] plugin.

## Description

Here are some differences compared to this latter plugin.

* Pros
  * No need to rebuild the page containing the calendar each time day changes, or
    a page (indexed by the calendar) is added, changed or deleted. This is
    particularly useful if you want to have this calendar in the sidebar.
  * Smooth navigation among months.
* Cons
  * Javascript :( .

## Usage

### Examples of directive

    \[[!jscalendar type="month" ]]

    \[[!jscalendar type="month" archivebase="calendar"]]

    \[[!jscalendar type="month" year=2014 month=08 pages="posts/* and !posts/*"]]

    \[[!jscalendar type="month" year=-1 month=08]]

### Setup file

This plugin uses the options used by the [[plugins/calendar]] plugin:

    'archivebase' => "archive",
    'archive_pagespec' => "posts/* and ! posts/*/*",
    'week_start_day' => 1,
    'month_link' => 1,

The `archivebase` and `archive_pagespec` can be overloaded by the very same
options of the directive.
