zopyx.multieventcalendar 0.1

A multi-event calendar for Plone 3.X

zopyx.multieventcalendar

zopyx.multieventcalendar extends the standard Plone ‘Event’ type with five supplementary date fields. The purpose of this extender is to support events with multiple dates associated. E.g. a conference takes place at a particular date but often has additional associated dates like for a call-for-papers or a registration deadline. Instead of having multiple unassociated events within Plone, you can manage all that with one event instance.

In addition zopyx.multieventcalendar provides a week and month calendar supporting this event extender. The implementation also supports export/subscription with iCal.
