one central calendar should be automatically filled by several calendars

Hi,
we are an association subdivided into many independent sections and we would like to have one central calendar, which is mostly filled automatically by these several section-calendars.
Each section acts independently and therefore they have their own calendars. Out of these calendars there are some (not all) events which are for interest to the total association and therefore these 'diarizers' should be consolidated into this central calendar. Each single ‚owner‘ of these distributed calendars is responsible for the selection of those events which also should be shown in the central calendar. The section-people are not allowed to service the central calendar manually.
Also the ‚owner‘ of the central calendar should have the possibility to grant or not to grant each single section-calendar bringing in automatically some of their events to this central calendar.

Hopefully the above graphic shows you which function I would like to have.
Sincerely

Re: one central calendar should be automatically filled by several calendars

Hi Wilfried,

One way this can be done is using our add on feature Event Calendar Pro in conjunction with the Feed Manager feature included in mojoPortal.

The feed manager has a setting to enable showing the feed as a calendar, and Event Calendar Pro exposes an RSS feed for each instance of the calendar. So you can setup different instances of Event Calendar Pro on different pages allowing your teams to manage the events in the calendars. Then you copy the feed url for each calendar into the Feed Manager and configure it for calendar display to aggregate the events from all the calendar instances. 

You can try this out on our demo site to see if it meets your needs well enough, create a few pages with different calendars and events and then put a Feed Manager on a page and add the feeds from the calendars and set the Feed Manager to display as a calendar.

Hope that helps,

Joe
