modx revolution calendar#

About to get started with ModX. Deciding between SilverStripe or just an MVC framework like Zend or Yii.

Anyway, will need a fully functional calendar with events. I found this:

Any ideas as to how difficult this would be to integrate into a new ModX Revolution site?

Thanks; dwight

I think the church events already has something like this.

I've implemented FullCalendar and qTip together (not in Modx) before. It builds the interface using javascript, jquery.
You should be good creating the events list data using getResources Snippet.
Use a folder container for events and TVs for creating additional properties you'll need for the events.
Once you have semantic html data events data listed in a page (or in a javacript object/array), jquery and fullcalendar can handle the rest.

Check this page's source code were i've used FullCalendar in the "Calendario" section for a insight.

Hope it helps.

You should be able to add any jQuery type thing relatively easily, but it's a bit of a bummer because Ext JS probably has something like this already, but it's not as easy to use. The big question with this is whether you need to store and access events in that calendar. The data structures required to intelligently store chronological events occurring in different places in different time zones can be subtly complicated.
