Fullcalendar jquery plugin Show years on nextYear buttons

Question

I'm using the fullcalendar jquery plugin, and would like to display 2009 and 2011 in the nextYear and prevYear buttons.

For exmaple:

2009 May 2010 2011

I know I can put static text on the buttons like this:

buttonText: { prevYear: '2009', nextYear: '2011' },

But I would like those years to change, depending on the year that the calendar is currently viewing. There's documentation about 'year' here: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/current_date/ but I don't know how to get that 'year' property.

Any examples would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Answer 1

You would probably just want to overwrite the buttons yourself and add your own events

function setYearButtons()
{
    var currentDate = $("#mycal").fullCalendar( 'getDate' );

    // I'm not 100% sure on these class names, but you can inspect the dom and figure those out
    $(".fc-button-last span").text(currentDate.getYear() + 1); 
    $(".fc-button-first span").text(currentDate.getYear() - 1);
}

Which you could call each time the year changed.
