Fullcalendar: Change the color for specific days

background-color, cell, css, fullcalendar

Solution

For the views `month`, `basicWeek` and `basicDay` you can change the rendering of the days by providing a `dayRender` function. E.g.:

$("#calendar").fullCalendar({
    dayRender: function (date, cell) {
        cell.css("background-color", "red");
    }
});

The documentation for `dayRender` is available here: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/display/dayRender/

And here's a working example on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/kvakulo/CYnJY/4/

Problem

I'm stuck with a project I get at work. I need to change the background color of some days. It's a calendar where the user should see, which days are available and which not. I found out that there is an attribute called "data-date", but I didn't found a possibility to use it. Is there any way to manipulate the background of specific days? I think there must be a way, cause the cell which shows the current date has another color too.
