Create Event Code in Calendar Is Not Working

Hi,

I researched up and down to come up with below visualforce code for a calendar, the calendar shows but can not create events, what am I missing here?

<apex:page controller="CalendarExample_Controller" action="{!pageLoad}">

    <link href="{!$Resource.fullCalendarCSS}" rel="stylesheet" />

    <link href="{!$Resource.fullCalendarPrintCSS}" rel="stylesheet" media="print" />

    <apex:includeScript value="{!URLFOR($Resource.FullCalendar, '/fullcalendar-2.0.3/lib/moment.min.js')}"  />

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

    <script src="{!$Resource.fullCalendarMinJS}"></script>

   

    <script>

        //We need to wrap everything in a doc.ready function so that the code fires after the DOM is loaded

        $(document).ready(function() {  

            //Call the fullCallendar method. You can replace the '#calendar' with the ID of the dom element where you want the calendar to go.

            $('#calendar').fullCalendar({

                header: {

                    left: 'prev,next today',

                    center: 'title',

                    right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'

                },
             
              editable: true, 
                   
                eventRender: function(event, element) {
        element.qtip({
            content: {
                title: {
                    text: event.title
                },
                text: '<span class="title">Date: </span>' + ($.fullCalendar.formatDate(event.start, 'MM/dd/yy')) + '<br><span class="title">Time: </span>' + ($.fullCalendar.formatDate(event.start, 'hh:mmtt')) + '<span class="title"> to </span>' + ($.fullCalendar.formatDate(event.end, 'hh:mmtt')) + '<br><span class="title">Event: </span>' + event.Name + '<br><span class="title">Driver: </span>' + event.driver + '<br><span class="title">Location: </span>' + event.location + '<br><span class="title">Commidity: </span>' + event.commidity + '<br><span class="title">Description: </span>' + event.description
            },
            show: {
                solo: true
            },
            //hide: { when: 'inactive', delay: 3000 },
            position: {
                corner: {
                    target: 'topLeft',
                    tooltip: 'bottomRight'
                }
            },
            style: {
                width: 200,
                padding: 5,
                color: 'black',
                textAlign: 'left',
                border: {
                    width: 1,
                    radius: 3
                },

                classes: {
                    tooltip: 'ui-widget',
                    tip: 'ui-widget',
                    title: 'ui-widget-header',
                    content: 'ui-widget-content'
                }
            }
        });

    },

    dayClick: function(date, allDay, jsEvent, view) {
        var $dialogContent = $("#event_edit_container");

        y = date.getFullYear();
        m = date.getMonth();
        d = date.getDate();

        h1 = date.getHours();
        m1 = date.getMinutes();

        h2 = h1 + 1;
        m2 = m1;

        calEvent = {
            title: 'New Calendar Event',
            editable: true,
            start: new Date(y, m, d, h1, m1),
            end: new Date(y, m, d, h2, m2),
            allDay: false
        }
            }
          
            });

           

        });

Are you creating events using controller code ?
KatherineCKatherineC
I'm new to coding, I read somewhere need to put event hook, could you tell me what I should do with it? Thank you.

I am not really sure how this page is being displayed on th euser interface, but what you can do is, create a method in your controller class. Insert a new event record in this method. Like 
public .....{ insert event;}
Call this method from your VF page .
