vacation rental site needs custom "availability" calendar.

Status: Closed
Prize: $50
Entries Received: 1

Contest Brief

This plugin is largely about manipulating date ranges in Javascript, PHP, and MySQL using the Wordpress framework.

We currently have a custom post type "rental" for rental properties.

1. The rental listing owner must be able to select dates on the edit listing screen. These dates must be saved as an array of "Unavailable" dates.
2. Create a jquery calendar widget that accepts this array of dates and selectively turns them to another color
2a. The available and unavailable colors should be saved in a variable that can be udated by website administrators
2b. The colors should be listed as a hex color variable, ie. #FFFFFF
3. Users may filter rental searches by selecting a range of dates. The dates are sent to a custom function that filters rental posts so that the date ranges selected by the user are not contained in the rental listings "Unavailable dates"
3a. Filtering should be compatible with compounding filters such as keyword, price, region, and features.

There are already several jquery plug-ins that do what you want. I don't see the point of this contest.

  Hi nycangular, yes, this should be a simple task. we were hoping you could take 1 of these jquery plugins and make two calendars. one has the functionality of selecting dates and returning to them as an array of dates. The second calendar will display the dates in a different color.
