CalendarX-0.6.6(stable) is the most recent release and is the preferred (and stable) version.
All future releases in this branch forward will be only for bugfixes, additional translations, and improvements in the documentation.
Feature list:
* i18n: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Danish, Czech,
Spanish, Catalan and Portuguese-Brazilian are the first translations,
others to follow as contributed. Includes i18n of datestrings and their ordering.
* Calendar views validate as proper XHTML 1.0 Transitional (at w3c.org).
* Displays standard Plone content (CMFEvents, ATContentTypes) or your custom
Archetype events.
* Multimonth (2-12), Month, Week by day, Week by hour, Day views available.
* Metacalendar: Categorize your Events using the Subject attribute standard on
all Plone/CMF events. Choose categories in a bar just below the View tabs.
Change subjects in portal_metadata tool. Choose between ONE subject at a
time, or MULTIPLE subjects at one time.
* Many configuration options available through use of property sheets, including
decoration of the calendar, decoration of events by Subject or Type, putting
restrictions on the type, location or subject of events shown, etc.
* Day and WeekByHour views can be easily managed to display fractional days:
from 8am to 6pm, for example. Hours displayed on these can be set to
12 or 24 hour formats. Hours or half-hour periods can be displayed.
* Late events (after midnight) can be shown on the "later events" portion of
the day and weekbyhour views, or shown as early events on those views,
being configured with a simple property to set the hour that separates them.
Use Case: a pub with late (after midnight) music events will have these
events show up on the correct day (evening) view.
* Multiple calendars can be created within one Plone site. Customized property
sheets for each calendar can (should) be stored within each calendar so that
calendar properties will be unique. Also any python scripts, javascripts,
CSS files can be uniquely customized for any one calendar.
* Subcalendars - nested calendars and modifications to the Subject links
that allow busy calendars to be subdivided beyond just Subject usage. Good
for school calendars, Resource scheduling (equipment reservations), etc.
* Private calendars: All your users automatically have a private calendar, if
they so choose. They can just add Events and set them to "private" status,
and then only they can see them on their calendar.
* "Add New Event" link, with customizable destination folders depending on
user and/or Roles.
* Customize a "calendar help" page for your newbie users. Help appears as a
tab, if you choose to make it available, and is customizable.
* Installs as a normal Plone Product, addable as Plone content, but also may
be added through the ZMI.
* No Dependencies: Only needs Plone standard products. Will use Dieter's
ManagableIndex and AdvancedQuery products if desired. Or not, if you don't
want to.
* "Late late" events... events in the wee hours of the morning can be set to show up as a late event of the previous evening for the day and week-by-hour views.
* Prints nicely from most browsers (using a special CSS sheet for printing).
