Various options related to the site and group +calendars can be set using the event calendar settings on the tool +administration page. + +Group members can view events by month, week and day using a jQuery date +picker widget, and submit event descriptions including the venue, start date, +end date, tags, description, organiser, contact person, event access level, +and fees if any. + +Group events are aggregated into the site wide event calendar accessible from +the Tools menu drop down. + +Site admins (or optionally any user) can also add non-group-specific events to +the site-wide calendar. + +Users can add group or site-wide events to a personal calendar to showcase +events that they plan to attend or are interested in. They can optionally +display these events by dragging an Event calendar widget onto their profile +or dashboard. + +The number of users who have added an event to their personal gallery is listed +on each event page along with a link to a page that displays these users in a +gallery format. It is thus easy to find other people interested in the same +event. + +*Admin settings* + +Numerous options for the event calendar can be set in the event_calendar settings +area under Tool Administration. + +These include: + +Add starting and ending times as well as dates to events (default: no) + +Automatically add events a user creates to his/her personal calendar (default: yes) + +Automatically add group events for all members to their personal calendars (default: no) + +(If activated, the autogroup function automatically adds all group events to a +user's calendar for all groups that the user is a member of. Group events are +also automatically removed if the user leaves the group.) + +Use Agenda view (default: no) + +Useful for conferences with multiple events on the same day. + +Display venue in event listings (default: no) + +Add region dropdown (default: no), plus a way to specify the allowable regions + +First date displayable on show events pages (default: no first date) + +Last date displayable on show events pages (default: no last date) + +As well, there are numerous options for configuring the site wide and group calendars. + +*Acknowledgment* + +The initial development of the event calendar plugin was funded by the Research +& Development department at the Royal Institute of British Architects +(RIBA). Several other clients have funded enhancements.
