What’s the latest in calendars for RW7? I know there is dDateLoom and DateSnap but the video on them doesn’t and the data I found a bit bare.
I would like something I can add a hyperlink to for more information. Anything like that?
Pretty much nothing has happened since Dateloom and DateSnap (I have both). I too am looking for something that fits in with todays mobile devices. I would also love to have an upcoming events feed from a calendar something that is available on other platforms by the bucket full. You can insert a Google Calendar into a site but they look awful.
It’s not a perfect solution but this article explains how to make google calendars responsive. This works on maps, too.
I used DateSnap for awhile but found my clients didn’t like it. They wanted to see things in list form. So I got Rails and now use that for our calendar and so far it’s been great. You can see it at http://www.gvrdc.org on the Calendar page.

Thanks. I like how you handled the calendar.
Mary, I wonder if you could say a little bit more about how you did that list. When Google calendars had RSS feeds, I could create a list that way, but since they dropped support, I’ve been at a loss for how to create a list that pulls from a Google calendar.
Kevino, this looks interesting, have you got an example of how you have used this on a RapidWeaver site?
Jonathan, Wish I could help you but I’ve never used Google Calendars. I made my calendar list by just typing in the events for each date using the stack RAILS. Nothing too fancy I’m afraid but I really like how you can click on a month and go directly to the list for that month.

I’ve created a simple RW7 project that can be used to display a google calendar. There are some brief instructions that explain how to get your calendar into the page as well as a link to the full article explaining how to make google embed code responsive. This works for google maps as well. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21549545/calendarSample.zip

There is a new calendar stack out from Rapid Ideas https://gumroad.com/l/yFpNN called Event Calendar. I have bought it already (it’s on offer for $5.90) and it is almost there! You can add events yourself or load a Google calendar into it. It has a list of upcoming events taken from the calendar and you can change lots of colours etc. It’s nice to have an option!

Does it have ability to export an event to the users calendar iCal, outlook etc.?
No there isn’t, it’s a very simple calendar stack. You can add events manually (but not with a Google calendar enabled) and add a link to whatever you want. I could see this stack growing to include lots of features in the future.
Thanks for the reply Jonathan. It looks nice but I need one that will allow a visitor to add an event to their calendar.
I need an event calendar for a new site in planning. I plan to use foundation. I essentially need the staff be able to simply add/change/delet events, hide the calendar or switch views similar to https://www.phpjabbers.com/event-booking-calendar/ The ability to add events from .ics or ical is also a plus.
can you contact me regarding this?
Rapid Ideas is no longer available
It was in September 2016 when I posted it!
