Event Calendars

Using Neos & Flow Frontend & Integration
1

Hi,

I’m currently trying out different CMSs, and now it’s Neos’s turn.
I noticed that the demo at https://demo.jumpbox.ch/demo-registration allows to define an event calendar with dates, description texts etc. Does anyone know which extension has been used here?

I also found these extensions for calendars:


MapSeven.Calendar seems especially interesting since it integrates Google Calendar.

EDIT:
Both of the above extensions crash my Neos installation :confused:

How do you manage and display event calendars on your Neos website? Which extensions do you recommend?

Thank you!

P.S. Is there a Neos IRC channel?

Hi,

sadly I can’t recommend a calendar plugin as I haven’t used one yet in a Neos site.
What errors do you get when you install them?

But regarding the IRC we use Slack https://slack.neos.io instead for our main communication in the community. But this board is of course always good for question like this as it allows other people to chime in and the search is better than in Slack.

Hi,

thank you for your answer!
I get the following errors for mapseven/calendar:

$ composer require mapseven/calendar:dev-master
(install works fine)
$ ./flow server:run

OK, maybe theres someone on slack, I’ll ask there, too.

Looks like the package is not fully compatible with the latest Neos versions. You should create an issue in their GitHub repository.

ok, thx
If I have time I might try to first take a look in the code if it can be fixed trivially.

6

Yes it should be, maybe you only need to add the type hints.

@bhoehmann we did not use any external package for the event calendar. I assume you mean the dialog that appears when you add a new event document node and especially the DateTime-Editor used there.
This is part of the Neos core and we configured the event document type like this in the nodetype yaml file:

'Internezzo.Event:Document.Event':
  superTypes:
    'Internezzo.Neos:Document.Abstract': true
    'Internezzo.Neos:Mixin.ContentCollection.Main': true

I am the developer of the full-calendar package.
And i am Sorry but the version is also not ready for the latest version of Neos (yet). Hopefully i get some time again to work on it. I think it will require quite some time to fix everything. Especially the frontend i suppose will require a lot of work.
