I'm working on another new project using fullcalendar (which I love) and I'm trying to find out if anyone has done what I'm trying to do and will be able to offer any hints on a good way to go about this. I've got a system built for scheduling on-call shifts in a medical facility for doctors and nurses. The system is all built and working pretty well but I'd like to add a feature that would allow a user to select a date range and have it auto schedule everyone. I have external events with employees names that are automatically populated based on the department that is logged into. It would just be pulling from that list and loop through it and schedule each person for two or three days at a time. I'd also need to be able to specify the shift time for the scheduling as some departments go from 7AM-7AM and some go from 8AM-8AM. I have the code for the shifts already in the system because when a name is dropped on the calendar now it gives a popup that asks what type of shift it is and adjust the times accordingly. Would probably need the ability to do one person for an entire weekend too. Weekend shifts are paid higher than weekday shifts so those would need to be evenly distributed. So like, for the weekdays rotate out employees every two days and then go through the list and rotate out an employee for each weekend. Would love some feedback on this especially if someone has done anything similar. Oh yeah and this is all from a php json feed coming out of a mysql db. Thanks!

As fullcalendar is merely a "display" of events, and aims to be as logicless as possible, this behavior is probably out of the scope of the fullcalendar project, and maybe overly-specific to your scenario, or should be a separate open source project.
