Calendars -- grrrrr

I'm having a terrible time trying to find a decent calendar that works with Xoops. I have an excellent one that I use on hand-coded sites, but trying to incorporate it into XOOPS for easy use by the people who'll be using the site -- impossible.

Anyway, I've installed & tried just about all of them, I think.

Is there one I've missed that incorporates:

--recurring events
--mini calendar in the side bar that shows current/upcoming events
--TIME slots (how stupid to have a calendar where you can't enter a time for events - why bother?!)

This seems awfully basic for none of the calendars I've seen so far to have all three. I'm searching for newest releases and highest rated, and hoping I've missed the Holy Grail of XOOPS calendar modules.

Help?

Thanks --

W

So far:
PiCal (doesn't seem to have a time function)
extCalendar (no recurring events)
AM Events (no time, I think, I forget why it didn't work well)

Don't know which version of piCal you are using but mine has ability to allow timed entries, recurring entries and mini calendar block.

Suggest you take a look at The mod author's web site if you want additional functionality building in.

ExtCal 2.0.3 doesn't do recurring events but does the other two.

There is an ExtCal 2.04 now, but I haven't tried that. Not sure if that now does recurring events.

Excellent module otherwise.

I'm re-loading PiCal to see if I had the wrong version or something. Is 0.7 the most current?

AM Events does have times, but no recurring events, yet. It is on the "to do" list and will be in a future release.

If you have any suggestions/feature requests/bug reports they can be submitted to the support forums.

Zoullou is apparently giving this module a major re-write - so it may have this feature on the next version.

Dude, I am with you. I think I tried every XOOPS calendar out there and there was a significant reason why each one of them wouldn't work right. I ended up scrapping all of the XOOPS calendar modules and using Google calendar (actually 9 of them) and importing them in an iframe.

I actually imported them into a php file, changed google's css, then imported them into my site. It works great for us because it is much easier to have the church secretary change a google calendar than mess with the site.

I imported ther agenda view on the front page into a block and made a custom module to import the main calendar view.
