Calendar Integration Feasible

smcguinness - January 7, 2008 - 23:33

I am fairly new to Drupal and have a pretty good site going, however, I have yet to tackle module development. Before I start beating my head against the desk trying to figure out and make a module work, I want to make sure it "can" actually work. My goal is to be able to integrate the EasyPHPCalendar found @ www.easyphpcalendar.com. Not really looking for the how with this question (but if you feel so inclined to send a few starters / suggestions about going about it, have at it and its always appreciated), but rather the "can it be done?"

I would like to utilize all of the basic features they have and display a mini-calendar as a block, a large calendar as a node and a list of events as a node. The mouse-over functionality is not a big deal. I think the biggest struggle will be making the php parameters of dates flow with drupal.

As you can see I am not too sure right now about how to go about it, which is why I don't want to start without someone with some experience saying that it is possible. Thanks for any input.

Regards,

Seth

Would another calendar do?

Hi Seth

Not sure if Webcalendar (http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php) would meet your calendar requirements or not but worth a look (if I remember correctly, think I read somewhere it's a fork of Easy PHP Calendar and is still free).

If it will meet your calendar requirements, have a look at the existing integration module (http://drupal.org/project/webcal). Not sure of the status of the module as I haven't used it yet but will at least give you a start. May also give you a start with integrating Easy PHP Calendar.

Regards
H
