monet.calendar.star 1.0.0

Introduction

The monet.calendar.star suite is a complete event managing solution for Plone, inspired by needs of the City of Modena. Is widely used for managing all kind of events.

This is only a transitional package, for downloading and installing all other products in the suite in a simple way.

Features

We want to give to Plone an event type that:

• hide totally the “time” data (managed as simple text)

• give a closed (but configurable) set of type of events

• the days of weeks where really the event take place

• be able to manage special days where the event don’t take place

• a lot of additional text information

See the monent.calendar.event page for know how to configure the event.

Additionally one or more Plone folder can be marked as “Calendar section” in a new “Calendar” menu.

This mean that this folder can use the “Calendar view” that show events in the current day, taken (by default, see below) from all the site events. This search take care of counting exceptions and days of the week of events.

Every event (and the also calendar sections) will also show a new “search” section at the top. This form can be used to perform a search on events of the calendar.

The form can be used to expand the search to more than one day, showing a summary of all events, per-day

Use multiple calendar: “Calendar root” sections

Using again the “Calendar menu” you can also mark folder as “Calendar root”. This is useful when using a Plone filled of subsites, where you can have a main calendar that look at every event in the site, but also additional subcalendars (inside many calendar roots).

When a calendar perform searches inside a Calendar root, it will only look for events inside the calendar root itself
