Hello,
I'm looking for further features for the included DNN Events Calendar. Does anyone know if these are possible? Or if these will be included in the next release? Or if there is a 3
rd party product recommendation that fits these requirements (including everything the Dnn Events Calendar currently supports)?
1. The ability to see who deleted or last modified a calendar item
Deleted events are actually deleted (well single instances of a recurring event are marked as cancelled until the whole series has been cancelled when it is deleted), so there is no data to access currently . The last modified information is available in the token list [event:lastupdatexxxx] where xxxx has various values denoting what information you want.
2. Limit a calendar category to a specific person/editor or designated set of editors
You can request this on CodePlex and we will look at it for a future release. The link to our CodePlex site in in my signature.
3. Notify a user or users when a calendar entry/event has been modified
As for 2... another route is for users to subscribe to the RSS feed for the module, which will show the event in it whenever it is updated if you use Last Updated Date as the 'Date to Use'.
4. Ability to export an entire category of calendar entries to user’s Outlook or other calendar client for a specified date range in addition to individual iCal event support
Thanks for your help.
I have been working on this type of feature. If you have a look at the CodePlex issues for the iCalendar Support Component issues listed against version 5.2.0 you can see what I have already coded (I think there is one iCalendar support item listed for 'Future' release). This will observe when a mandatory category filter is applied to a module (Category set and the category controls are hidden). If you want to add a Issue for how you want Categories to be applied to iCal (whether by URL or another setting in the module) then please post a new issue on CodePlex.
Cheers
