Sorry...probably do need to be more specific. It was late last night and I was already frustrated with it...
Lots of parameters == items that need to be specific to the page being rendered at the time rather than common to all components of type freecalendar. For example, each page will probably need a different event source. A person may want to arrange the header on the calendar differently on different pages. Different colors could be requested for different types of events. There's a myriad of options available. Trouble is, a lot of this needs to be set up during the afterRender portion of the component. That basically removes the hard coding option. I have been passing them in afterRender, and I'll need to keep doing that I'm sure. My problem is that for each bit that is specific to the instance of fullcalendar for that page (lets say event source for the sake of the argument), I need to pass that information from the page to the component so it can be included in the afterRender function. So that's really my question in a nutshell...how do I get my parameters passed to the component when I am not instantiating the component?
