Is there a way to do static events or common events? 

I know you can have annual events on the site etc but what I was wondering is if there was a way to set up the module so that everytime it is posted to a page it has the normal calendar events on it.  Bassically showing holidays like fathers day etc.  Maybe even a way to set this up for different parts of the world (i.e different countries have different dates for independence day).  I know how to manually add these events each time I drop the module on the page but can they be saved and programed in so that they are always there when the module is placed?

Hi Greg,

I'm not sure the events team would be keen to take on the task of compiling a list of all holidays for all countries and programming them in, sounds like a major undertaking .

However, one way you could do this if you have multiple calendars on your site, is to put them in a Calendar 'Holidays', then include this calendar in as a sub-calendar on all the others. The Holidays will then appear in the other calendars.

Cheers
Roger

Actually, getting the lists of holidays isn't a problem. There are many sources. The issue is being able to import them into Events as opposed to having to key them in.

Re: Is there a way to do static events or common events? 

Hi Keith,

If you can point out some sources whch can be accessed in a manageable way, then maybe this is achievable. The solution needs to be maintainable into the long term, therefore I suggest this need to be obtianed from a long term reliable source (maybe from the OS if that is available). Regular updates via Events module install is not an appropriate mechanism, since potentially somebody could be using a version of the module released now in 2/3/4 years time. In which time holiday dates will undoubtedly have changed.

Using the mechanism I have described in my post, you would have to enter the holidays once. In the UK there is about 10 days holiday, therefore 10 events. This may help you solve your problem for now, since a version of the events module with the capability you requested may be some months away.

In any case, can you raise this on Gemini - http://support.dotnetnuke.com, so we can track for inclusion in a future release?

Thanks
Roger
