Remove passed dates in CodeIgniter Calendar - php

Question

Is it possible to remove the dates that have already passed (in the past) in Codeigniter Calendar?
I'm using the Calendar Template that was provided in the user's manual

Answer 1

This is possible although I don't know if it is conventional here is my code.
Save to "/application/libraries/MY_Calendar.php"
<?php
class MY_Calendar extends CI_Calendar {
/**
* Generate the calendar
*
* #param int the year
* #param int the month
* #param array the data to be shown in the calendar cells
* #return string
*/
public function generate($year = '', $month = '', $data = array()) {
$local_time = time();
// Set and validate the supplied month/year
if (empty($year)) {
$year = date('Y', $local_time);
} elseif (strlen($year) === 1) {
$year = '200' . $year;
} elseif (strlen($year) === 2) {
$year = '20' . $year;
}
if (empty($month)) {
$month = date('m', $local_time);
} elseif (strlen($month) === 1) {
$month = '0' . $month;
}
$adjusted_date = $this->adjust_date($month, $year);
$month = $adjusted_date['month'];
$year = $adjusted_date['year'];
// Determine the total days in the month
$total_days = $this->get_total_days($month, $year);
// Set the starting day of the week
$start_days = array('sunday' => 0, 'monday' => 1, 'tuesday' => 2, 'wednesday' => 3, 'thursday' => 4, 'friday' => 5, 'saturday' => 6);
$start_day = isset($start_days[$this->start_day]) ? $start_days[$this->start_day] : 0;
// Set the starting day number
$local_date = mktime(12, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year);
$date = getdate($local_date);
$day = $start_day + 1 - $date['wday'];
while ($day > 1) {
$day -= 7;
}
// Set the current month/year/day
// We use this to determine the "today" date
$cur_year = date('Y', $local_time);
$cur_month = date('m', $local_time);
$cur_day = date('j', $local_time);
$is_current_month = ($cur_year == $year && $cur_month == $month);
// Generate the template data array

$out .= $this->replacements['heading_title_cell'] . "\n";
// "next" month link
if ($this->show_next_prev === TRUE) {
$adjusted_date = $this->adjust_date($month + 1, $year);
$out .= str_replace('{next_url}', $this->next_prev_url . $adjusted_date['year'] . '/' . $adjusted_date['month'], $this->replacements['heading_next_cell']);
}
$out .= "\n" . $this->replacements['heading_row_end'] . "\n\n"

$out .= str_replace('{day}', $day - $total_days, $this->replacements['cal_cell_other']);
}
$out .= $this->replacements['cal_cell_end_other'];
} else {
// Blank cells
$out .= $this->replacements['cal_cell_start'] . $this->replacements['cal_cell_blank'] . $this->replacements['cal_cell_end'];

$day++;
}
$out .= "\n" . $this->replacements['cal_row_end'] . "\n";
}
return $out .= "\n" . $this->replacements['table_close'];
}
}
You can see my code diverges from native at line 108 with this snippet:
... if ($day < date('d')) {
$out .= ' ';
} ...
As far as pagination, future months, and past months you will need to modify the snippet as you see fit.

Answer 2

The answer below from William Knauss works out of the box (kudos to you William).
I actually went a little further with it and adapted William's solution to my needs.
Basically I wanted the days in the past to be disabled. As in, I wanted to put a class i the the td element for days in the past and a different class for the elements in the future (including today).
So, the code starting on line 106 looks as follows:
if ($day < date('d')) {
$out .= ($is_current_month === TRUE && $day == $cur_day) ? $this->replacements['cal_cell_start_today'] : $this->replacements['cal_cell_start_past'];
}else{
$out .= ($is_current_month === TRUE && $day == $cur_day) ? $this->replacements['cal_cell_start_today'] : $this->replacements['cal_cell_start'];
}
if (isset($data[$day])) { // this part was restored to the way it is in the native class.
// Cells with content...
Notice the 'cal_cell_start_past'. This is a new array property in the default_template array in the native class. Starting in line 473.
Now it looks like this:
'cal_row_start' => '<tr>',
'cal_cell_start_past' => '<td class="pastDay">',
'cal_cell_start' => '<td class="day">',
'cal_cell_start_today' => '<td class="day">',
Hope this helps someone else.
