plone.app.event - a calendar framework for Plone

Overview

plone.app.event is a new calendar framework for Plone.

Features:

• Dexterity behaviors and Archetypes type,

• Timezone support,

• Recurring Events,

• Whole day events,

• Open end events (End on the same day),

• Icalendar export,

• Icalendar import,

• Better calendar and events portlets,

• An event listing and event detail view.

It was developed with these goals in mind:

• Encapsulation and independence: All event related code should reside in a single package. Relevant, re-usable functionality is split to seperate packages. Plone’s dependencies on calendar related code should be reduced to a minimum. plone.app.event should be able to be deinstalled from Plone.

• Dexterity and Archetypes support: plone.app.event should provide Dexterity behaviors, which can be used in Dexterity types and an ATEvent content type (factored out from ATContentTypes). For a Dexterity event type, use plone.app.contenttypes 1.1 or newer.

• Standards compliancy: We support the icalendar standard (RFC5545) including recurrence.

• Recurring events based on the RFC5545 standard.
