Overview
zopyx.multieventcalendar
zopyx.multieventcalendar extends the standard Plone 'Event' type with five supplementary date fields. The purpose of this extender is to support events with multiple dates associated. E.g. a conference takes place at a particular date but often has additional associated dates like for a call-for-papers or a registration deadline. Instead of having multiple unassociated events within Plone, you can manage all that with one event instance.
In addition zopyx.multieventcalendar provides a week and month calendar supporting this event extender. The implementation also supports export/subscription with iCal.
