Dynamic group calendar

Joined: 11/28/2008

Hi all, I'm pretty new to Drupal, but loving it so far.

I've got a potential client who wants a "prayer website", one of the main features would be logged in users can "reserve" a time slot (say 1hr blocks), on a certain day. With the aim of getting full days covered with prayer.. make sense?

Ok, so I have been thinking about how to get this done. Option 1 would be to use an external calendar - google etc.. and add the people to a group and let them self govern. But it would be better to have an internal Drupal calendar with permissions set so that the users could add/edit their own time slots, but not anyone elses.

I figure the permissions are pretty standard once the hour slots are configured, but that's what I can't figure out... how to get a standard calendar to add time slot blocks? Anyone done this before?

While I've been writing this, I've had the thought "pop" that maybe using some kind of event registration thing may work, IF it could be configured that "an event" wasn't at an actual fixed time, like 'prayer' is the event name, then the user selects the time of the event, which in turn adds it to a calendar.

Would be nice if someone has done this before and can laugh at my noobishness and point me to an existing solution, but will accept any kind of help at all.

thanks

possible solution?

Just stumbled across this guy and it looks like a possible. Just have to test if it can be drilled down to specific hour blocks...

Try 'search' for a couple of recent threads

Hi Nik

You might want to search for 'Prayer Calendar' on this site, since the first two results are threads on this topic that coincidentally came up in the last few weeks. I am no Drupalite, but it seemed from these queries that there was no 'perfect' prayer event registration component for either Drupal or Joomla (which I use), although hopefully someone might now suggest something new. Google Calendar was mentioned, so that might work for you.

Anyhow - sorry I couldn't be of any more direct help...

Doh, I always forget to search before posting!

Thanks, that gave me a couple of nice pointers.
