Hello,

I'm very new to DNN and not sure if I can create the site/modules necessary to do what I want to do. I basically need a module that allows any visitor to add a calendar that can be shared with any vistor after that visitor searches for it. Basically, I need any user to be able to add their events to a calendar, and be able to share it with anyone who visits the site. I then want to be able to sync any of these calendars together to create one master calendar for any user based off which calendars they want to subscribe to.

Let me know if I need further clarification, or if i'm in way over my head.

Thanks,

Curt

The DotNetNuke Events module permits you to have multiple calendars and you can display them separately or roll them up.

I'm not sure that "any visitor" can create a calendar. But, you could configure one or more calendars so that casual visitors could add events. They can be moderated, too, I think.

You can also limit calendar and event creation to registered and logged in visitors.

If you want to have the equivalent of personal pages with personal calendars and have all of the personal calendars roll up, you might be able to do that with Active Social (see activemodules.com) or a combination of Active Social with the Events module integrated with it (there is also a calendar at invenmanager.com that has been integrated with Active Social, so you might want to look there).

And, to confuse you even more ... Active Social is currently a commercial module, but with a free version. The entire Active Social package is due to be integrated and distributed with DotNetNuke in the near future. How much will be in the Community Edition and how much will be relegated to the Pro version is unknown to me. Perhaps someone who knows will chime in.

Roger Selwyn, one of the developers of the Events module had this to say over on the DotNetNuke forums:

"In 5.2.0 we are implementing the iCal standard (RFC 5545) for exporting events from the whole module. Previously this was available on a per event basis. This will allow you to sync your events to Google Calendar/Outlook/Facebook (though the Facebook application that achieves this lost it's support yesterday).

There are requests for the reverse (i.e. sync from Google to Events module) which we will certainly look at for future versions, not commitment as to when. This would be done via standard iCal export assuming Google supports that...."

So, it seems that the answer is "yes".

It is also possible to embed a Google calendar in a DotNetNuke HTML module. See this: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources...odule.aspx
