Overview
plone.app.event is a new calendar framework for Plone.
Features:
- Archetypes and Dexterity 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.
- Archetypes and Dexterity types: plone.app.event should provide the
ATEvent content type (factdateored out from ATContentTypes) and also
Dexterity behaviors, which can be used in Dexterity types.
- Standards compliancy: We support the icalendar standard (RFC5545) including recurrence.
- Recurring events based on the RFC5545 standard.
