In Chapter 1, Creating Courses, we used events to represent due dates and exams and reorganized them dynamically using collections. But your school's use of events will likely span athletics, music performances, conferences, and much more.
In this chapter, we embark on a deeper study of Plone events, seeing how to...
Harness the best-of-breed Plone4Artists Calendar product to improve the display of event listings
Gather events from across a site into a central calendar, culling out class-specific due dates and assignments
Let visitors browse a single hierarchy of events arranged by subject while still allowing edit permissions to be delegated along organization boundaries
Represent recurring events
The techniques in this chapter are applicable in many organizational schemes. We present one common arrangement as an example: a top-level folder where visitors can browse the highest-profile events on the site.
