Note field.

Would like to see a third field under bookings that a user can type in a note and it gets saved with the other two selections and appears as note when hovered over.

Hi,
I have actually done custom work for a client that, amongst other things, required that behavior. However I am not convinced that it is necessary for the basic calendar script. It would be all too easy to *forget* to change the text between clicks and assign the text to dates where it didn't apply.

Hi Chris,

What if after you applied, it cleared that field?

[chris]

hmmm, OK, but that would be rather annoying if you *did* want to apply it to several dates in a row. I suppose that it could have a check box that says whether it should be deleted or not....

I *can* see how it would be useful as a customization, I am just not 100% convinced that it is something that everyone would need or would want to work in the same way. My general idea with the calendar is to keep it as simple as possible and not add too many "extra" things.

Hi Chris,

Totally makes sense to K.I.S.S.

I would suggest default behaviour is to clear it and the check box would say, "Do Not Clear After Adding Date" or something to that effect.

That way you keep the calendar working as it currently does with 1 added feature with an option.

Hi

Have you got any example code on how this could be done? Or the possibility of supplying the code to allow it to be done.

Being able to add a 'note' would be a great feature for my install.

Thanks
