BYU Academic Calendar

Academic Calendar Module For Drupal 8

This module generates a block that you can display on your websites. The module displays all academic calendar information and it can't be customized or limited to only certain academic calendar items.

Dependencies

Fontawesome library.

To Use

1. Git clone or Download the module. If you download it, make sure to remove '-master' from the module folder name.
2. Make sure you have included Fontawesome, either through the module or by adding this library to your theme in the libraries file:

font-awesome:
  remote: https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/
  version: 4.5.0
  license:
    name: MIT
    url: https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/license/
    gpl-compatible: true
  css:
    theme:
      https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css: { type: external, minified: true }

You will then want to include the library in your .info file for all pages or see this documentation:
https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/theming-drupal-8/adding-stylesheets-css-an...

3. Enable the module. It will generate the block.
4. To place the block, go to the Blocks page and place it in a region and set it on whichever page(s) you would like.

Behind the Scenes

The html is dynamically loaded from the api Michael Kemp built based off the registrar's data. The css and javascript are not dynamically loaded.

Navigating between the 6 months at a time using the < > buttons changes immediately without delay because the data is loaded when the page loads.
