Plone.app.event is the calendaring implementation for Plone. It provides Event Content Types (Archetypes based as well as Dexterity Behaviors), Timezone support, RFC5545 icalendar export, Recurrence support and a lot more.
The ATContentType and dexterity features are automatically enabled depending on installed packages.
Note
Please set your timezone in the @@event-settings controlpanel. Otherwise there some weired behavior can occur, like you're apparently unable to set the time for dexterity types not to what you want. For timezone handling, we use pytz.
Note
The current z3c.unconfigure depends on zope.configuration >= 3.8 but Plone 4.2.4 uses zope.configuration 3.7.4. To successfully install plone.app.event with it's ploneintegration extra, you have to make a version fix in your buildout. Wether fix z3c.unconfigure to 1.0.1 (recommended and included in this buildout) or fix zope.configuration for example to 4.0.2 (not backwards-compatible).
Just run the buildout.cfg, which is included with plone.app.event. There is also a dev.cfg buildout file, which includes the sources of Plone core package branches with integration changes for plone.app.event.
Or include the plone.app.event egg:
eggs +=
plone.app.event [ploneintegration,archetypes,dexterity]Last, instal Plone with the "plone.app.event Plone4 integration" profile or depend in Generic Setup in metadata.xml like so:
<dependency>profile-plone.app.event.ploneintegration:default</dependency>You can also install optionally or additionally the dexterity profile.
Warning
Upgrading from the old ATEvent type is not tested, so don't rely on this.
Add some events, play with recurrence, whole day events and timezones, try out the calendar and event portlets...
Note
A limitation on recurrence is, that unlimited occurrences are not supported at the moment. The number of possible recurrences of an event is limited to 1000 at the moment, so indexing - and other operations - doesn't take too long (see: plone.event.recurrence).
This packages and the other listed in sources.cfg are part of the PLIP 10886. See: http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/10886
