Currently debating over best data model method:
- Current model (calendar item w/ event items for every date) - difficult to manage adding dates or changing the scope (start/end dates)
- Dynamic iCalendar-type calendar/event item w/ events built on-the-fly, possibly using a cache
- iCalendar flatfile model (would use extenal file), not the best, but there are plenty of php classes available to deal with this. This method would make it easier to publish/edit outside of exponent
- layer on top of Google calendar - variation of the iCalendar flatfile idea

Perhaps we should just embed this gpl calendar/scheduler?
http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxScheduler/index.shtml
along with using the database integration

Correction...the dhtmlx control has a read-only mode for the form and for individual events...

Generally leaning toward a single table with the following fields:
- id
- start_date (datetime field)
- end_date (datetime field) - allows for multiple day events
- title
- body
- rec_type (type of recurrence)
- event_pid (id of parent event for recurrence)
- event_length (end date of recurrence)
- poster
- created_at
- editor
- edited_at
- is_featured
- location_data
- feedback_form?
- feedback_email?
This is a composite of the current calendar & event_dates tables aligned with the dhtmlxScheduler recurring table format
Primary/Default display would the dhtmlSchedule view which has tabs for month, week, day, year, agenda-week,, and upcoming views. It also provides drag/drop of events, multi-day events (bars across days), all-day events at top of non-month views, etc...
- Would also allow for standard views such as upcoming headlines, etc... where a simple list might integrate into the page better.
Not sure if the event should be an attachment or have attachements (or can we do both?) e.g., a news item with some upcoming event dates, or an event on the calendar with sign-up forms, etc...?

This conversion has been put on hold since it doesn't appear feasible to have multiple calendars per site.

After heading down the wrong path, the last solution is no longer free with the ability to place more than one calendar instance on a page, therefore, I've regrouped.
Locally, I have begun a straight conversion to a controller as I did w/ simplepoll & navigation. It's coming along slowly, but I have the edit/save data models squared away it appears. Initially, the new controller won't be much different from the old calendarmodule.

(from [a1dd3877470d94b6cb3fbc21786dbaa3a84a56ef]) Initial stab at events (calendar) controller. Still needs upgrade & migration scripts, and some tweaking...otherwise a 1 for 1 copy of cuurent module. [#139] https://github.com/exponentcms/exponent-cms/commit/a1dd3877470d94b6...

At this point, we only lack implementing:
- 'send_reminders' method
- upgrade script
- migration script
And it would be nice to implement:
- categories (with colors/styles)
- tags
- comments?
- e-alerts?
- files?
