Here’s a beautiful mod to DayBack calendar by\u00a0Brian Ouimette of NorthEast DataBase Solutions. Brian scripted DayBack so that some views use the calendar’s default popover to show events, while other views show the event details to the right of the calendar in a new FileMaker layout object. Best of all, Brian\u00a0sent us an example file<\/a> and the scripts he used to make this change so that you can add this to your own calendar.
\n\"Customizing<\/a>This\u00a0mod lets Brian add lots more fields to the event, and includes tabs or portals, so users can see a lot more information about their event without leaving the calendar. DayBack already includes methods for using your own layouts<\/a> instead of the calendar’s built-in popovers, but Brian’s mod means you can use FileMaker layout objects on the calendar, without having to leave the calendar or take users to a card window<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is probably an easier modification if you wanted to use this split-view on every<\/em>\u00a0calendar view–that would just be a modification of the existing\u00a0use your own layout\u00a0<\/a>script. Brian’s mod uses DayBack’s default popover on some calendar views and the split on others. It’s really nice work.<\/p>\n

Here’s a movie showing Brian’s changes in action:<\/p>\n
