CX_props_subcalendar_text.txt CalendarX 0.6.6(stable) January 03 2006 (last modified for CalendarX 0.6.5) by +lupa+ (lupaz on sf.net, lupa at zurven dot com) Released under the GPL (see LICENSE.txt) NOTE: These instructions are greatly supplemented by Part V in this Manual, a Use Case describing subcalendar use for a Resource Scheduler. Even if you don't want a resource scheduler, I'd advise you to read it and/or try it out if you want to use CalendarX subcalendars. NOTE: Plone 2.1.1 has a bug that affects the use of CalendarX Resource Scheduler. Read about it (and the patch) in INSTALL.txt. Instructions for properties in CX_props_subcalendar. Subcalendars allow for interesting possibilities for special calendars, especially very busy ones. A subcalendar is a folder inside (nested) in a Main calendar folder. I have only tried a single level of nesting (one main calendar with multiple subcalendars), and these controls focus on menu behavior reflecting that use case. The properties in this sheet control the basic behavior of subcalendars. The first two properties are used by the main calendar, and the second two are used by subcalendars. These properties have been developed with a Resource Scheduling calendar application in mind, but other possibilities are certainly possible. Your suggestions (and code) for more options are gratefully accepted. ALSO: You will need to carefully consider what properties to use in your CX_props_calendar property sheets for both the MAIN and SUB calendars. Examine the Resource Scheduling calendar example provided in order to see what some of the possibilities are. FINALLY: Read the "Manual for CalendarX" document. We provide a CASE STUDY of the use of Subcalendars to create a RESOURCE SCHEDULING calendar. It will help you more fully grok subcalendars and their usefulness. === List of Attributes === title string Leave this title attribute alone. useSubCalendarSubjectMenu boolean For MAIN Calendars: Check this property to signal that (1) there are subcalendars below and (2) hence, use the special Subcalendar Menu for the Subject Links that allows you to both (either) filter on the subcalendars as well as click on the Subject (subcalendar name) to drill down and view that subcalendar alone. listOfSubCalendars lines For MAIN Calendars: This is a list (one per line) of the names of the subcalendars. The menu choices uses this list for display of links to the subcalendars. isSubCalendar boolean For SUB Calendars: Check this property if this calendar folder is a subcalendar. This controls the style of menu displayed for subcalendars versus non-subcalendars. nameOfSubCalendar string For SUB Calendars: The name of this subcalendar. This is displayed in the Subject Links area. === CASE STUDY: A RESOURCE SCHEDULING CALENDAR === [moved to "Manual for CalendarX" document as of v0.6.5)
