I'm not sure what you mean by bike creator?, I have never seen your calendar plugin
 , so my apologies if I have offended or annoyed you in any way.The version I am working on is simply an update to the original one posted for download by Koradhil and originally from Seditio as stated in my post. I just thought it may be nice to share my updates on Cotonti. I am not and do not claim to be the original creator or owner, I am simply putting in some new features which are not from any of your ideas or code. As I said before I had never seen your version of the plugin. [b]Know the question and you will be far more likely to get an answer.[/b]

As far as I can see the thing MIHDev is creating is different from the calendar plugin from seditio.by.
I think we should support improving or forking of existing plugins. In fact, any development is welcome, including plugins that are similar to others. I like the planned improvements. I'd really like to see an ajax-based calendar so you can simply include it in any page using javascript. |

Great suggestion Koradhil
 I have only used AJAX in ASP.NET before for a CRM system, so this will be a fun new challenge. Now I just have to find my AJAX book lol Added 2 hours 12 minutes later: Support for Full calendar display filtered by category has now been added - Demo: Here [b]Know the question and you will be far more likely to get an answer.[/b]

99% potential clients would need the following capabilities:
- search through events - tag events - comment events - rate events - flexibility to manage events - see events categories in the sitemap Initially I planned to use Korandil's events plugin to cover events/calendar requirements for one of our projects, but very quickly I had to discard the idea because this would have required a lot of extra work without any flexibility. Basically, I would have to say to my client: - I have to hack the search plugin, so if it is upgraded in a future Cotonti release, you'd have to re-hack it, or maybe I'll do it if I have time - no - no - no - maybe - no On top of that, if the client selects to add, let us say, entrance fee or something else, I would have to modify the plugin over again and adjust the db also. Having considered that, we decided to use pages/lists for events and write our own (pretty small) calendar plugin to have a calendar representation of pages/lists. Plus we used our own Bookmarks Pro plugin to cover attendance requirements. Simple and effective. Right now the client has events that everyone can: - search through - tag - comment - rate Event categories (just like any page cat) is in the sitemap, and if I have to add any extra events info like fee, address, location, type, etc, I simply use extrafields. I apologize if I anyone got hurt due to the aforementioned. Seditio.by - создание сайтов, разработка плагинов и тем для Котонти

Hi Kort, great suggestions and questions.
I have provided support in the next version for Searching events and direct category integration with the standard sed_structure and sed_pages tables via a switch in the Config. For the next version events will be integrated directly as Pages rather than separate entities. I agree that Entrance Fees and things are good, as you said you used ExtraFields, this was what I was thinking with switches in the admin panel for Configuring fees and stuff like that. Thanks for all the superb suggestions Added 26 minutes later: The details screen is coming along nicely, here is a screenshot  [b]Know the question and you will be far more likely to get an answer.[/b]

What is mean is: it makes no sense to use own structure and reinvent bicycles integration. Why not using pages as they are??? Page is just a name. It can be events just like used cars or books. Calendar frontend + lists/pages can be easily augmented with filters or supporting plugins written "on demand" for each specific customer. This way you have a mass-produced basic product (calendar) and support plugins (attendance, bookmarks, filters etc) and this way you'd follow the modular approach. That is what Cotonti is about. Facelifting obsolete and awkward plugins is just a waste of time, unless you're just wanna do it for your own reasons.

@ez - Thanks m8, will definately be sending you a pm for some help with the Ajax parts.
@everyone - I am currently studying for an exam but you can expect the first Beta version of this plugin by tonight :). Added 3 hours 41 minutes later:
Last things to do for now are to tie-in the Mini Calendar with the Active Event on the page and add a new config option for how many attendees to display on the details page then I will bundle it all up ready for beta testing.
