issue #1. I'm a newb.

So, I'm trying to set up a calendar of lessons using the
WeekViewHelper snippet found here:
http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/5206 (very slightly altered). The
problem only occurs when I try to set the :url option.  Without it
works fine, except I haven't been able to (can't figure it out) create
links to go to the next or previous weeks.

Any help, or suggestions are greatly appreciated, or if you know of a
different way to go about it.

The code for the various files are posted below.  "start_date" and
"end_date" are columns in the table "lessons", while "starts_at" and
"ends_at" are options for the helper.

WEEK_VIEW_HELPER.RB:

require 'date'

  # Author: Josh Adams
  # This helper is based on CalendarHelper.
  # WeekViewHelper allows you to draw a databound week view calendar
with fine-grained CSS formatting
module WeekViewHelper
    VERSION = '0.0.1'

    # Returns an HTML week-view calendar. In its simplest form, this
method generates a plain
    # calendar (which can then be customized using CSS) for a given
span of days.
    # However, this may be customized in a variety of ways -- changing
the default CSS
    # classes, generating the individual day entries yourself, and so
on.
    #
    # The following options are required:
    #  :starts_at
    #  :ends_at
    #
    # The following are optional, available for customizing the
default behaviour:
    #   :table_class       => "week-view"        # The class for the
<table> tag.
    #   :day_name_class    => "dayName"         # The class is for the
names of the days, at the top.
    #   :day_class         => "day"             # The class for the
individual day number cells.
    #                                             This may or may not
be used if you specify a block (see below).
    #   :show_today        => true              # Highlights today on
the calendar using the CSS class 'today'.
    #                                           # Defaults to true.
    #   :previous_span_text   => nil            # Displayed left if
set
    #   :next_span_text   => nil                # Displayed right if
set
    #
    # For more customization, you can pass a code block to this
method, that will get two argument, both DateTime objects,
    # and return a values for the individual table cells. The block
can return an array, [cell_text, cell_attrs],
    # cell_text being the text that is displayed and cell_attrs a hash
containing the attributes for the <td> tag
    # (this can be used to change the <td>'s class for customization
with CSS).
    # This block can also return the cell_text only, in which case the
<td>'s class defaults to the value given in
    # +:day_class+. If the block returns nil, the default options are
used.
    #
    # Example usage:
    #   week_view(:starts_at => (Date.today - 5), :ends_at =>
Date.today) # This generates the simplest possible week-view.
    #   week_view(:starts_at => (Date.today - 5), :ends_at =>
Date.today, :table_class => "calendar_helper"}) # This generates a
week-view, as
 
#
# before, but the <table>'s class
 
#
# is set to "calendar_helper".
    #   week_view(:starts_at => (Date.today - 5), :ends_at =>
Date.today) do |s| # This generates a simple week-view, but gives
special spans
    #     if listOfSpecialSpans.include?(s)          # (spans that are
in the array listOfSpecialSpans) one CSS class,
    #       ["", {:class => "specialSpan"}]      # "specialSpan", and
gives the rest of the spans another CSS class,
    #     else                                      # "normalSpan".
You can also use this to highlight the current time differently
    #       ["", {:class => "normalSpan"}]       # from the rest of
the days, etc.
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # For consistency with the themes provided in the calendar_styles
generator, use "specialSpan" as the CSS class for marked days.
