Post your favorite working Calendar systems!

I have also used Google Events to pull in Google Calendar data. I was able to convert a church to using Google Apps, and found that I could setup a shared calendar between the staff who needed to push data to the web site. They were more likely to add an event to the site using the interface they were already used to.

I created a web administrator account to store the calendar on so that if any individual employee left it wouldn’t affect the calendar ownership.

I think the test site is still running (hasn’t gone live yet). http://test.ebenezerbaptist.com The front page has a jQuery plugin scrolling the "Upcoming Events" calendar data. Then we just used the embeded Google Calendar for the full view. However Google Events will generate a table for the full month view if you feel like styling it (long range plans for us).

One thing I did notice is the default sync time for Google Events to pull info from the calendar is around 30 minutes. The staff have a tendency to want to see the data the instant they add it into their Google Calendar. So I had to retrain them about that.

@Pixel Stuff

Have you checked out mxCalendar to see if fits your needs, I’m not sure of all your requirements but if it’s missing a critical item please let me know as I’m always looking to make it better.

You can also create a module (like I described here: http://bit.ly/clcxG9). I realize it’s not a solution native to MODx (which is preferable in most instances), but does have it’s advantages and it can be pretty easy to implement.

@charless

I had not seen that package. It looks nice at first glance. How easy (or hard) is it to pull data from a Google Calendar? I really like the idea of the Google Maps integration.

On the other hand, now that I’ve started using Revolution for sites, I’m having a hard time wanting to go back to Evolution. Any plans to release a Revo compatible version?

This module/component does not pull data from google calendar, it’s all self managed in Modx. The Revolution release I’m trying to get released by the end of the month, so yes it’s vastly approaching it’s release date.

Is mxCalendar compatible with REVo?

Almost, it’s about 65% done at this point.

I’m searching for a good calendar solution over a year now and I just couldn’t find what I need...
