Answered Calendar used on MODX

To the MODX Team. Can you tell me if the Calendar used on your events page is a Revo Add-On or some custom development?

It looks somewhat like mxcalendar to me

It's actually EventsX. I am fairly certain we'll use a different solution when we simplify and streamline modx.com for 2013.

Thanks Ryan.
Since you're thinking of not using it in future, can you tell me why and what you might be moving to? I need a nice Calendar for an events page and would rather start off with something that other folks were happy with.

Maybe you could check this out http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/MIGXdb.Manage+Events-Resources+in+a+CMP+with+help+of+MIGXdb

Ohhhh scary MIGX. I've been trying to avoid that even though I keep reading how handy it is. Thanks Susan. Maybe tonight I'll have my first go at MIGX.

It just isn't flexible enough for what we need for the Ambassador program, as we need to aggregate events across a variety of ad hoc, opt-in groups around the globe. We will also need front end event creation by Ambassadors, which it doesn't support out of the box that I'm aware. It's URL rewrites were interesting, also, in relation to what we're doing on our site.

Any chance of some info how do you handle the EventsX Json request? Is it suppose to work automatically?
