monet.calendar.star 2.0.0

Searching events

Additionally one (at least) or more Plone folders can be marked as “Calendar section” in a new “Calendar” menu.

This mean that this folder can use the “Calendar view” that show events in the current day, taken (by default, see below) from all the site events. This search take care of counting exceptions and days of the week of events.

Every event (and the also calendar sections) will also show a new “search” section at the top. This form can be used to perform a search on events of the calendar.

The form can be used to expand the search to more than one day, showing a summary of all events, per-day

Use multiple calendar: “Calendar root” sections

Using again the “Calendar menu” you can also mark folders as “Calendar root”. This is useful when using a Plone filled of subsites, where you can have a main calendar that look at every event in the site, but also additional sub-calendars (inside many calendar roots).

When a calendar perform searches inside a Calendar root, it will only look for events inside the calendar root itself.

A calendar outside a Calendar root looks for all events in the site.

New calendar portlet

The calendar construction is expensive, and not good to be used in a portlet of the site, where is visible (in the worst case, also not cached) in every page of the site.

When you install the monet.calendar.extension product, the calendar portlet is replaced with a version that:

• not show anymore events in a specific day

• every cell is a link that perform a day-search in the nearest calendar

“Nearest calendar” mean that if the visitor is inside a “calendar root” section he will be moved to the calendar of that section, otherwise a global calendar section will be used.

You can also install an additional portlet from the monet.calendar.portlet product. This portlet gives you a way to select a calendar section in the site, then display it in a portlet (in the same way you can see him in the calendar section itself).

New collection criteria

You can use the monet.calendar.criteria for beeing able to create collection that looks for events taking care of event’s filters parameter.

Special event types

From ZMI (see also monet.calendar.event configuration) you can specify one or more event type as “special”. Those are then highlighted in the single day view, below the categorizations done for the time of event.

Examples:

• Morning

• Afternoon

• Evening

• YouEventType
