Fullcalendar - highlighting a day based on event selection
In fullcalendar you can select an event (which triggers) the eventClick function/callback. What I would like to do is highlight the day of the event when the event is clicked (in month view).
For example, if the event is on October 30 and I select the event I would like the background color of the day to be highlighted. This is very similar to how fullcalendar handles "today" where it highlights today in a yellowish color.
I can't seem to figure out how to tie the fc-event class or the event object itself to the actual day div in the calendar. My October 30th event appears within the following div (which is the October 30 box):
<div class="fc-sun fc-widget-content fc-day35 fc-first">
How can I find this div (so that I can highlight it) based on the event object?
Answer
You can simply use the select method in full calendar.
For example:
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('select', date);
Where date comes from event.start:
eventClick: function( event, jsEvent, view ) {
//pass event.start to select method
}
