I am building a module that is a calendar. It has some custom fields in the table and will be the only module on the page. For example, let's name this module "Calendar"

On another page I want to display the next upcoming 4 events from this "Calendar" module.

How can I pull data from another module on another page using the MVC Templates from Chris Hammond? (https://github.com/ChrisHammond/DNNTemplates)

Page 1:
Calendar Display - Shows next 4 events

Page 2:
Calendar - Shows all events.

I'd say don't.

Have both read from the same data in the DB. If you only want to support one calendar module in the entire site then it's trivial.

If you want to support multiple calendars; then the way I have seen is for the subordinate module to look in the database for instances of the senior module. In the subordinate module's configuration the user has to decide which one it shares data with.

I like the idea of supporting multiple instance of the module and using parent - child modules (subordinate as you say). How can I have a setting that looks for other modules?

Well your settings code can do anything you like. So I would be looking in the module/tabmodule tables (I forget the exact names.)

I've seen this in the Ventrian modules specifically Ventrian News. Scott open sourced them recently. Take a look for inspiration. https://github.com/ventrian
