Creating a Calendar

In order to create a calendar, we must first initalize two templates. We must initalize Content Items using HTML-calendar.tpl.php and HTML-dayview.tpl.php templates.

1. We will create the calendar (month view) first. Create a new menu item (or use the backend Content Folders screen).
2. Select to use the HTML content type. Create a content item with the HTML-calendar.tpl.php template. This content item must have an alias of "calendar".
3. Now we need to create the day view mode of the calendar. Create a new menu item (or use the backend Content Folders screen).
4. Select to use the HTML content type. Create a content item with the HTML-dayview.tpl.php template. This content item must have an alias of "dayview".
5. It is likely you will want to remove a menu item reference to the day view template, as this provides no functionality on it's own.
6. To add events to the calendar, you must create Content Items with the Event Content Type.
7. The calendar and dayview items must be published to use the calendar system in public mode.
