Calendar/Listing for upcoming events?

Hi!

I need to manage a long and constantly changing list of upcoming events. The reader of the page should see
1. a list of dates and short names of upcoming events. (clickable)
2. a calendar view of the dates (clickable)
3. a full view of every event

How would one do it in MODx? Are there snippets to use?

Furthermore, it would be great, if the reader could filter the displayed events with keywords.

Any nudges in the right direction are appreciated!

Resources listing is always a good place to start. http://modxcms.com/resource-listing.html?tags=calendar

Yeah, I know. Is this all there is? It seems that EventCalendar is not too bad. But it only works with PHP 5 and I have only 4 on my webspace.

Also it would be great to have more space for information for the events.

Did you check out Kalendar? I haven’t installed but it seems to be a good place to start and perhaps build on.

I’m currently working on quite exactly the same issue that you described, Donalbain.

I’m using a combination of ditto (for listing the upcoming events) and Kalender (for the calendar view). I changed the Kalender snippet code on Friday (look here: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,9617.msg99333.html#msg99333) and will be fixing some issues in the near future.

See http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,15219.msg98299.html#msg98299 and the Kalender support thread for some of my comments...

take a look at www.lulalounge.ca: unfortunately we’re getting terrible performance on the server right now (in the middle of moving to a Joyent accelerator), but I did a fair bit of work to modify NewsListing to create a listing system. I also modded (IIRC) JSCalendar to get the calendar we have, which leaves something to be desired but works without problems.

Nice work. The site looks great. Does the IIRC JSCalendar communicate with the NewsListing data at all? Either way, great work.
