News to Calendar sync

[lemonaid]

A couple of years ago there was a lot of talk about News to Calendar synchronising. 

Is anything happening with this?

There was even a module,  News to Calendar bridge,  by Calguy but that seems to be gone now.

Is anyone willing to offer me a quote to set this up in Events?

What exact functions do you need?

[zorrax]

I would like to link my news into calendar (posted date, ended date and summary)

[zorrax]

anybody have this module
is there another solution to bridge CGcalendar and news ?

For time being you could bridge news summary to other record of a different kind by using UDT "news_ids" .
Just write something like

Code: Select all

{news_ids ids='391' summarytemplate='summary' }

to event "Details" field.
Parameter "ids" comma separated list of news article ids. All other parameters are similar to news module parameters and are listed at the top of UDT.

Actually we need wider discussion how to define properties of calendar event to news article.
Should it be categories based "1:1" or "n:m" relationship ? May be there are some better ideas ?
