Hi, I want to put a calendar "calculator" into my app. That is I have things which need to happen in a timeline at set points after a start date ie. starting today, then in 30 days, then in 90 days. I'd like the user to be able to put in the desired start date and then get a list of the dates of the future time points (eg. 30 days is July 6, 90 days is Sept 5 etc). There are several possible timeline scenarios and the user should be able to choose which one is appropriate. It would also be great to be able to have the resultant dates put directly into the native calendar. I'm not a programmer and have no experience - any advice?

So every user would be able to set their own calendar or are you pre defining the events for every user?

I'd predefine the timelines (there are a few differnet ones), the user just sets the start date on them.

But the start date would be different for every user. Correct?

Yep! So user 1 might say start date June 9 and wants the Timeline 1 which gives the dates in 30 days and 90 days; while user 2 sets a start date of eg. August 11 and wants Timeline 2 which gives what the dates are 15 and 120 days after that start date.

To write this natively you will have to hire a programmer but a shortcut way is to look into a php/MySQL integration instead. Here's one: http://codecanyon.net/item/php-event-calendar/47723?WT.ac=search_item&WT.seg_1=search_item&WT.z_author=jigowatt Have a look here at all the calendars they have: http://codecanyon.net/search?utf8=✓&term=Calendar

Great info @coderx, will be looking into this myself! David buzztouchmods.com
