jQuery fullCalendar and qTip

Question

I'm looking at using fullCalendar and using qTip to display a description using eventMouseover.

Has anyone managed to do this or know of a solution? I've google'd and also tried implementing this post but i've had no joy. The only time I got it to work it got into a loop and crashed my browser.

Any advice / support would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATED: Here's the code i'm starting off with (aware it's an example script but, if I could get qTip integrated I could progress). I have qTip, etc ready to use. I just don't know where to start with this now? Thanks again.

<script type='text/javascript'>

     $(document).ready(function() {

      var date = new Date();
      var d = date.getDate();
      var m = date.getMonth();
      var y = date.getFullYear();

      $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
       theme: false,
       header: {
        left: 'prev,next today',
        center: 'title',
        right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
       },
       editable: false,
       events: [
        {
         title: 'All Day Event',
         start: new Date(y, m, 1),
                        description: 'Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah'
        },
        {
         title: 'Long Event',
         start: new Date(y, m, d-5),
         end: new Date(y, m, d-2),
                        description: 'Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah'
        },
        {
         title: 'Meeting',
         start: new Date(y, m, d, 10, 30),
         allDay: false,
                        description: 'Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah'
        }
       ]
      });
     });

    </script>

While I have not used qtip specifically, I did something close to what you did using the eventRender callback like stated here.

Your code should look something like:

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
events: [
    {
        title: 'My Event',
        start: '2010-01-01',
        description: 'This is a cool event'
    }
    // more events here
],
eventRender: function(event, element) {
    element.qtip({
        content: event.description
    });
}

});

Let me know if that helps at all, otherwise once I get home tonight I can have a closer look.

I'd recommend checking out http://craigsworks.com/projects/forums/thread-google-calendar-like-bubble-for-jquery-fullcalendar.

I've got it working (sort of) with this

      viewDisplay: function(view) { 
         var calendar = $(this);
     alert('Google calendars loaded');
         $('.fc-event').each(function(){
            // Grab event data
            var title = $(this).find('.fc-event-title').text(),
               data = calendar.data('fullCalendar').clientEvents(function(event){
                  return event.title === title;
               })[0];
            var qtipContent = data.description ? data.description : data.title;
            $(this).qtip({
               content: qtipContent,
               position: {
                  corner: {
                     target: 'topRight',
                     tooltip: 'bottomLeft'
                  }
               },
               show: 'mouseover',
               hide: 'mouseout',
               style: {
                 width: 200,
                 padding: 5,
                 background: '#A2D959',
                 color: 'black',
                 textAlign: 'center',
                 border: {
                    width: 7,
                    radius: 5,
                    color: '#A2D959'
                 },
                 tip: true
               }
            });
         });
         return false;
    },

It's sort of working in that my qtips don't happen without that alert (no idea why yet). Also, mine's only working in Firefox and IE6 (how frikkin weird is that!).

Try downloading jquery.qtip-1.0.js

The RC's don't seem to work but 1.0 does (I found that on another forum). I have QTip working with this code:

    eventRender: function (event, element) {
        element.qtip({    
            content: {    
                title: { text: event.title },
                text: '<span class="title">Start: </span>' + ($.fullCalendar.formatDate(event.start, 'hh:mmtt')) + '<br><span class="title">Description: </span>' + event.description       
            },
            show: { solo: true },
            //hide: { when: 'inactive', delay: 3000 }, 
            style: { 
                width: 200,
                padding: 5,
                color: 'black',
                textAlign: 'left',
                border: {
                width: 1,
                radius: 3
             },
                tip: 'topLeft',

                classes: { 
                    tooltip: 'ui-widget', 
                    tip: 'ui-widget', 
                    title: 'ui-widget-header', 
                    content: 'ui-widget-content' 
                } 
            } 
        });
    }
