I've spent at least a few hours trying to find an event calendar for Etomite that essentially works like this:

A calendar is displayed, most likely as part of the template on the right side of the page
Users can click a date and view events for that or post events under the date if they have administrative access
Events posted require at least the date, time, and details of event, anything else would be considered fluff really

I know that's kind of specific, but at the same time I figured it would be pretty generic and something somebody would have done, I'm just unable to locate it.

Don't waste any more time searchng as you won't find anything that fits that description... You would need to write your own custom snippet to suit your needs... That is how virtually all of the existing snippets ended up in the Snippet Library - they were created to serve a specific purpose and were then shared with the Etomite community by the author...

Here are two hacks that may help you create what you want. These are not commented nor cleaned up, but they are working today behind a protected site. That's the first thing you'll notice: take out the user validation code if you want these to be publicly available.

The eventcal.php is the actual calendary script hacked from a previously submitted event calendar.
The eventlist.php file provides you with a list of recent calendar events with some formatting options.

Again, these are incomplete. That's why they have not been submitted. Since you have a use, I'll share with no implied warranty..yada yada

Have fun.

it's been a while, and you propably have to browse the forum regarding this snippet (wasn't able to post for a while), but the "Events_Suite" can handle this. Depending on what you use as pagetitle, longtitle etc... it will ouput what you want. Must admit it's not the most userfriendly solution, but once setup-correctly...

Anyone else looking for a similar snippet, zcalendar, zcalendar_mini and zcalendar_display are now available in the new snippet library. See here for descriptions, samples, instructions and support.

Hi Cris d, et al.

Was your zcalendar used to create the Forum's calendar page on the etomite site?
My have a site that will need an events calendar and that page is a good example of what I am after.

Only admin from the backend would need to ad events.

Also will the zcalendar work with the v1. Or should we stay at v0.6.1

Any advice/recommendations would be much appreciated. \

Thanks,
Amber
