Calendar features
I have some pre-sales questions regarding the calendar plugin. I need an event calendar for LinksSQL 3.x and rather than write my own, I am hoping to buy yours.

I have so many questions, it's hard to know where to start :-)

Am I allowed to customize the code for my own purposes?
Does each user have their own calendar?

What I need is an event calendar where each user has their own calendar. They should have to be logged-in to add/modify/delete events. I need to be able to display to the general public (not logged in), combined events from different members calendars.

I also need the ability to provide each user with an RSS feed so they can display a list of their events on their own websites. Javascript syndication via an iFrame is another requirement.

I have a test page that shows what I am trying to do. Please have a look and advise if you think I can use your plugin and how much I will need to customize it.

Test page is here:

Are the events stored as links? or are they in their own table?
I guess I am trying to understand the table schema etc...

Thanks,
Chris

You mean the perl code? (its quite complicated, but yeah, you can edit it)

Yup, and also a "public" one (which is a merge of all users events that they want to make public)

Sounds like that I just explained above :)

You would need to write some kinda function to do that, as thats not a built in feature (wouldn't take that long to do)

They are stored in a "Calendar" table, not links (the events are totally seperate from links)

I hope that answers your questions.
