Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Calendar Software

[Catya Belfer (catya]

I'm a HUGE drupal fan (cohousing.org is a drupal site), and I really don't
like the calendering modules, though i have to say that i haven't played
extensively with them in 6.0 or higher.

We do embedded google calendars within drupal both in my community and for
cohousing group events on the cohousing.org site.  A handful of public
examples:

https://www.cohousing.org/tours_events
http://www.mosaic-commons.org/calendar
http://sawyerhill.org/calendar
http://www.mosaic-commons.org/

- email event alerts (yes, if people are invited to the events and accept)
- multiple logins (yes)
- Anyone (with an account) should be able to add an event. (yes)
- People should be able only to edit their own events unless they are
an admin-level user. (no)
- Multiple calendars (or one calendar with different types of events,
or tags, or something... anything that lets us use different colors). (yes)
- Resource (a room or a projector, for example) allocation. (we do this with
a separate calendar for the resource)
- Ideally integrates into either Wordpress or Drupal. (as above)
