Calendar Request

[embj13]

Hello, I'm going to be setting up a website for a church soon. I plan on using Serendipity for it, as it seems to be working well for my site. I was wondering if I could make a special request for a calendar plugin.

I know there's already a calendar plugin for it, but it doesn't seem very practical for my use. I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to create an actual calendar page that is separate from blog entries. On the page, you could see a full calendar for that month, and you could be able to add multiple events that are scheduled at different times per day.

An example is sort of like what IPB has (http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?&act=calendar), but you'd be able to add multiple events per day, and be able to see the time the event is going to take place.

I'd like to be able to use it for letting people know what things are going to be happening at the church. Would something like this be possible? Thanks.

You can never tell but I think that will be too much for a S9 plugin-maker. You seem to ask for a full blown calendar scripts, so here is a good one http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php?topic=Showcase Try the demo. Very well documented, has WIKI and quite popular.

Here are a few more free ones http://www.softcomplex.com/products/php_event_calendar/ http://www.planscalendar.com/ Both of these do not require MYSQL database so they should be painless to install. Plans site have list of "competition" http://www.planscalendar.com/index.php?p=competition

With wrap_url plugin and some fiddling about with looks you can chose to make calendar appear as being part of your blog. Should fall in with other elements and it can be done.

I can only agree to dk70, you are looking for a full-flexed calendar and you should fetch a well-developed one and integrate it with Serendipity. The best thing would be if the calendar can be embedded with a simple PHP script, which you could then put into a sidebar plugin that allows calling of foreign PHP code (the "External PHP application") plugin does this.

Or use the iframe/wrapurl approach that dk70 mentioned.

There is a serendipity_event_mycalendar additional plugin which has some basic calendar features, and it can also integrate with your calendar of s9y, but not show multiple events via popup bubbles or so.

Yeah, I thought it might be a bit much to ask, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for the links to the calendars. I found one that's working out great.
