setting event-color

[chewmanfoo]

How do you set the color of the event bar in the calendar? All my events are #9aa4ad, but in your example jpeg, the events all have different colors.

I am using color (string) column.
Just add this column to events table and put there string with color name.

For different classes then Event I am selecting columns manualy:
Post.select("id, title as name, ...some_other_columns... 'blue' as color")

It's ugly but works.

Thanks that seems to be really reasonable but can you give a bit more info like where is "Post.select("id, title as name, ...some_other_columns... 'blue' as color")" at.

I create a new migration to my model add a color field but i dont know where to call it

In calendar controller postgresql example:

def index
@month = (params[:month] || (Time.zone || Time).now.month).to_i
@year = (params[:year] || (Time.zone || Time).now.year).to_i
@shown_month = Date.civil(@year, @month)
start_d, end_d = Event.get_start_and_end_dates(@shown_month)
@events = Event.accessible_by(current_ability).events_for_date_range(start_d, end_d)
@posts = Post.select("id, title as name, event_time , true as all_day, 'goldenrod'::text as color").events_for_date_range(start_d, end_d)
@event_strips = Event.create_event_strips(start_d, end_d, @events + @posts)
end
