Coming from a non-developer, business user...

Please don't remove the recursive functionality of the Event Module - this is one the coolest things about DotNetNuke. Whoever conceived that idea was a genius. In fact, the whole Event module is very cool.

I would enjoy the ability to publish to iCal functionality - it would be extremely useful. However, I would suggest keeping the Event Module functionality intact at all costs.

Importing iCal data to the Event module would be cool (for some), but if that would cause problems then I would suggest creating a new "iCal" module that is a spin-off of the Event Module.

Being able to integrate (publish or subscribe) iCal in a DNN site is tremendous.  I would say either integrate it into the Events module using Any Means Necessary, or spin it off as a cousin of the Events module.

This would be an ENORMOUS win for DNN.  And yes, I would contribute.

Alan,

Would it really be necessary to drop all the features or simply create a service that would run as a scheduled task and/or on demand that would extract the publishable information from the database and save it to an iCalender/webdav server.  And for subscription it would be nice to either cache the subscribed files and display them and when viewed provide the viewer to the ability to insert specific or all events into the database so that notifications could be generated?

I don't know if I'm just being too simplistic but I don't really want any functionality taken from Events, in fact it would be nice to have more features in the module that are similar to the interface on phpicalendar (http://phpicalendar.net)

Just my two cents.

Bob

There are several things I am in the middle of doing:

1) Convert the app to Asp.Net 2.0 WAP (pre-compiled) module
2) Re-write the Schema to include an Events Master and Events Detail table; the Events Master will contain the Event Definition (recurrence pattern, etc.) and the Events Detail table will contain a record instance for each generated Event (for recurrence pattens).  This will allow the Event Series to be deleted or an individual, related Event date/time instance, improve performance for displaying events, and make it easier to write extensions/reports.
3) I've consideredmaking Event Recurrence table fields a RFC2445 RRULE.  This will make patterns easier to understand.
4) Minimal...provide a import/export via iCalendar.
5) possible re-write the graphic interface, similar to vCalendar

Just came across this thread. Has there been any progress? Should I be looking somewhere else?

Many thanks,
