Contao Events Bundle

This bundle offers useful functionality concerning the entities tl_calendar and tl_calendar_events of the Contao CMS.

Features

• adds support for sub events (e.g. workshops, sessions, ...) for a given calendar event in 2 different flavors:
  • via a new (and auto-generated) entity tl_calendar_sub_events
  • via declaring the parent-child-relation in tl_calendar_events instances
• adds an Item class for the generic reader bundle heimrichhannot/contao-list-bundle and the generic list bundle heimrichhannot/contao-list-bundle
• adds a dateAdded field for tl_calendar_events
• adds the feature operation to tl_calendar_events (and tl_calendar_sub_events if used) as already existing in tl_news
• adds some new fields (see below)
• Calendar event coordinates

Installation

Install via composer: composer require heimrichhannot/contao-events-bundle and update your database.

Configuration

Sub events

You can activate sub events in the global Contao settings. Here you have the following 2 options. Which one you take depends on if the sub events can be a separate entity (tl_calendar_sub_events) or need to be instances of tl_calendar_events.

In both cases, activate the appropriate checkbox in the global contao settings. Afterwards clear the cache and update the database.

Realization as an entity "tl_calendar_sub_events"

The tl_calendar_sub_events dca is created by copying the dca of tl_calendar_events and resetting some callbacks. See tl_calendar_sub_events.php for more details on that.

Realization using a parent-child-relation

A new field parentEVent is added to tl_calendar_events

Coordinates

Can be disabled in settings.
