Simple calendar of events
January 27, 2011, 03:10:33 pm
Hello,

We are starting to evaluate using Drupal+CiviCRM for a club website + membership management tool.  One of the things currently on our website is an embedded Google Calendar  so members can hop online and check what events are taking place (as certain activities require shutting down other portions of the facilities for safety reasons) before they leave the house.  We don't really have anything where people 'sign-up' or register for specific events, its more for informational purposes.  Is there a usable Calendar in CiviCRM that can handle scheduling recurring events (i.e. every Thursday night or the last Monday of every month, etc.) or would we better off to embed the Google Calendar in a page on the site again.

TIA,

Monte

Continuing to use Google calendar is a decent option, especially if your events don't require registration or payment.

If you wish to have a Calendar that shows CiviCRM events, it is possible to do this.  Check it:

However, this is complex to accomplish and requires installing and configuring several Drupal modules.  If it is worth it to you the results can be good, but it would take several hours of work.
