I've just purchased the Event Calendar product and am trying to understand how to set it up for my application. I have many small, independent city websites (each its own portal), which each have their own event calendar. They are like this:

1) City1.com - Events calendar for events in City 1 only
2) City2.com - Events calendar for events in City 2 only
3) City3.com - Events calendar for events in City 3 only

I also have one large master STATE website, which should show all of the events for all of these cities. All of the city sites should feed into the state site, like this:

City1.com -> \\
City2.com -> State.com
City3.com -> //

How can I set this up? Each of them should be a separate portal, they can not be subportals.

Thanks
Warren

Currently it is not supporting this feature yet for multiple portals in version 2.5. Thanks.

Love your Calendar - well done. So is the 'sharing' as proposed above now available?
Thanks.

OK - thanks. So for the moment, do I add the calendar under the 'STATE' portal then by using 'Category', call each 'CITY' as a seperate category item (within the Calendar's category section)? Then on a CITY Child Portal, simply make that site's Calendar link in that sites menu point to the ID of of that (CITY) category? Would that work?

"Sub-Calendars with Linked Modules" is listed on the Features Overview in the .pdf -- but I cannot find a section of the .pdf explaining what Sub-Calendars are or how they operate.
Please explain Sub-Calendars.

I have a list of Shows... events. I can have one DNN Portal with a separate page for each participating Club. If visitors go to that page where the Sub-Calendar exists, will they see only that club's events?

hi, Barry,

At the Main Settings, you can link the module to more than one Sub-calendars (other events calendar modules). So that module willl also display events from those linked sub-calendars.

Thanks.

So then for my situation and Warren's situation...
If a Sub-Calendar on the Corvette club page would be edited by the Corvette guy,
and a Model Trains Sub-Calendar on the Model Trains page would be edited by the Model Trains guy, each is a free-standing calendar?
www.portal.com/corvette/tabid/default.aspx and
www.portal.com/modeltrains/tabid/default.aspx

Then the Main calendar is capable of displaying all Sub-calendars plus have any events specific to Main. (because it uses the same database on the same DNN Portal)
www.portal.com/home/tabid/default.aspx

Is there also the ability for RSS on the Sub-calendars or the main calendar - so that each can be displayed on other non=DNN websites?
example: www.1usa.com/events/ etc (not a DNN website)
Having this would be VERY useful.

Thanks

Hi, Barry,

1. Yes, you can manage sub calendars with different editors (event managers), and then display all events on main calendar.

2. RSS is based on each calendar, so it means the RSS is only available for sub calendar and for all categories, and of course you can use it on other site.
(currently the RSS does not consolidate events from all sub calendars, like the main calendar does)
