The Events List/Calendar standard DotNetNuke module may be used to display the forthcoming events for your company, or organisation. With this module we are able to display the events in either a list format, or as a calendar, as illustrated by the two images below.
Forthcoming events as List View
Forthcoming events as Calendar View
Each instance of the calendar is unique, with its own set of associated events. If the web site is used for a company then we can use one instance to cover corporate events and further instances to cater for the various departments. On a company Intranet why not use the calendar to show project target dates and milestones, or maybe for each of the societies and clubs within the organisation.
Editing the Events/Calendar module is done in the usual way, by hovering over the pencil icon for the module and selecteing the relevant option from the pop-up menu. For theis particular module there are two specific options: Add New Event; View Options.
Lets consider the second one first, view options. Using this item we are able to define whether the view shall be List or calendar based. If we are to use the Calendar view then we can define the width and height of each cell.
Selecting view style
The second option from the pop-up menu , is Add a New Event. Selecting this item we can enter the details for a new event, including: title; description; when it occurs in terms of date and time. Note that e are also able to specify whether the event is recurring based on days, weeks and months, also it doesn't after be every dat, for example, but could be every other day.
Adding a new event
Finally when we have permissions to edit the Events/Calendar module each item is displayed alongside an edit pencil. Clicking on this pencil alows us to edit the details for this event again.
