Hello,

Currently I have a very rough rudimentary "event calendar" on my website that I designed myself. I allow registered users of the website to submit events to the calendar if they wish...

But I still want to be an "administrator" or "calendar owner" and be able to moderate user-submitted events to the calendar.

Is this possible with a Trumba calendar? I want a much more intuitive interface for a calendar on my site than the current one I have designed. I could have sworn I saw an example of a website that did this with Trumba but I can't seem to find it now...

I'm in the process of exporting the data in my database into iCal format, and look forward to any resposnes.

I found what I was talking about...

This is the kind of thing I need for my website....although I really need to have people be able to add recurring events easily as well. like, "Every monday and tuesday in August".

We have a very high website traffic level and this functionality would be a good replacement.

I'm willing to become a partner - I'm a programmer/developer as well (with experience in SQL, PHP, C#, JSP, AJAX, among other languages etc etc etc) and would be eager to beta test new features and such on a high volume site.

I also plan on using Spuds to replace the current "module" we have on our site.

Hi Mike,

It looks like you have a great application for event calendars.

Thanks for researching what Trumba can/cannot do today. The Event Submission Form is not yet a part of our regular product offering. But, it is something we have set up for a few partners.

Thanks for letting us know that you've submitted your information through the partner page. I'll let our marketing folks know of your forum post, as well.

Awesome...Since I posted this I have exported all my proprietary calendar data into iCal and published it on my first Trumba calendar...check it out, it looks pretty full so far...

Wow! You sure have a lot done! Thanks for posting a link. I had to click on Event Schedule to see the calendar, and I see that you are experimenting with spuds etc.

Hi Mike,
I'm butting in to say that if you want, you can make it so that when you click an event in the crawler spud or in the date finder, the destination is your embedded calendar rather than the standalone calendar on the Trumba site (which takes visitors off of your site).

For info about the crawler, see this post in the web developer forum.

For info about the date finder, see this post in our knowledgebase. The isssue here isn't exactly the same, but the solution is.

Again, you don't have to do either of these things -- it's just whatever you prefer. Thanks for posting your site. It looks awesome!

Ahh. I hadn't dug into the details of that yet Spud yet. I'll fix it shortly. Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually, since both Spuds are on the same page, I found it only necessary to change the var trumba_teaserBase = "URL for your embedded calendar page"; for the scroller and have it also reflect in the date finder (since it seems to be a page-global variable.)

Thanks though, works good!

Ooh, good catch, Mike. You're absolutely right! Thanks for clarifying that.
