An extended event content-type for Plone (and Plone4Artists calendar)
Project description
vs.event
vs.event provides an extended event functionality for Plone
Features
recurring events
a new calendar widget
real support for all-day events
extended support for attendees and attachments (UI and iCal level)
working iCal/vCal export for all-day events
full integration with Plone4Artists calendar (must be installed seperately)
support for supplementary-events (one master event and several depending events)
Supplementary events
There are case where some particular event in reality consists of several date. E.g. for conference you need an event for the conference date itself. However you often have additional supplementary events like a deadline for a call-for-papers or a registration deadline. With vs.event you create an event for the conference itself and so-called supplementary events for the call-for-papers and the registration deadline. The supplementary dates are events themselves but linked with the primary event (using the Archetypes references). So with vs.event you will see all supplementary events for the main event or jump directly from a supplementary event to its main event. This feature is optional and can be disabled through the ZMI in portal_calendar -> vs_event_supplementary_events.
Integration with Plone4Artists calendar
vs.event integrates smoothly with p4a.plonecalendar. A new view icalendar_export is registered for p4a.plonecalendar enabled folders. It will export all vs.event related events in iCal. This means you can subscribe with iCal to a calendar taking full advantage of the vs.event` functionality (including support for attachments and attendees on the iCal level).
Installation
Add vs.event to the eggs and zcml options of your buildout.cfg. Create a new Plone site using the vs.event profile or install vs.event through the quick installer of Plone.
Known bugs and limitations
the localization of the date picker widget support only ‘en’ and ‘de’ so far. The date picker widget will use/present the US date format for languages other than German.
TODO
more i18n needed
