Calendar

[Extreme]

Anyone have any reccomendations for a web based calendar? It can be either html or php, but needs to have an easy to use interface for the site im working with. I would prefer the calendar run of database support so that the calendar admin/mod will just be able to access the interface and then input what is needed. Then the program or script would input to the database and update the displayed webpage.

 

these are the 2 I was looking at, but am interested in anyone here has a better option.

Also, any free options would be awesome too

I use this on a couple of sites - it's not bad, and it's free:

I have also embedded Web-based calendas from Google and 30boxes on sites, but the styling options are very limited.

this looks promising. I am the only coder and web-lacky on the site. Will this be easy for a computer "user" to understnad? Basically i provide the framework and the moderators and main admin run the site. I am 2nd in command of this site as webmaster. PI just need to verify that it has an "ease of use" feel for them

The calendar can be used to post events for other members of the community to see. It also lists each member's birthday. To access it, click the "Calendar" tab at the top of any page.

Depends, I think, on the people. I know people who can work magic with a very complicated program like Excel, who won't even try far simpler software becuase 'it's too confusing'.

 

Probably the only thing you can do is install it and show them the admin section. It seems pretty easy to me.

valid point. Im actually curious to look at the calendar on here, but cant find its link

[Extreme]

anyone know of any other web calendar programs? I got the one above installed and once it was running realized that this is the same calendar another site similar to ours uses and I wont allow us to be seen as copying

You aren't copying anything. It's a free calendar program installable through Fantastico. Thousands of people are using it.

i understnad this, but i dont want one visitor to see that we just installed the same thing that they have used for ages. to the avgerage user who knows nothing of computers, i copied that site

[Extreme]

where is this tab on TCH forums that is for the calendar on here? I cant find it

[TCH-Bruce]

The calendar has been removed from view on these forums. It is not the one you installed it is part of Invision Power Board.

[Extreme]

i dont suppose you could provide a link to it? I would like to see how it is setup cause the faq i found where it was mentioned sounded perfect

 

is it something that can be seperate from the board?

[TCH-Bruce]

Sorry, can't provide the link and it's an internal function of the board.

[Extreme]

[TCH-Bruce]

There is one called Plans that I have used in the past.
