Calendar X FrontEndusers

[tamlyn]

I've started a module to allow frontenduser users to add events to the calendar module. I want to avoid duplicating code wherever possible to preserve compatibility however I've got a bit stuck. The add_admin_event action prints out a nice form but only when logged into the admin and with the wrong form action. I can correct the form action by doing a search & replace on the whole page using ContentPreRender but how can I trick Calendar into thinking an admin user is currently logged in?

Any tips much appreciated.

I could really use this module too... 
There's an easy way to do this, get the module instance of the calendar module, and call AddEvent

That's more or less what I'm doing (unfortunately Calendar is quite a complex module). The trouble is I want to use high-level methods so that low-level changes to the calendar module don't break my module but the high level methods don't work when an admin user is not logged in...

Actually, Calendar isn't that bad..... feusers is way more complex

You can't call an admin action from the frontend, the url's are completely different..... the best way would be to
a) modify the calendar to put the form into a function,
b) call that function from the admin_add_event action
c) call that same function from within your module, and
    have that form call your action (somehow), that calls calendar->AddEvent

but it may just be easier to write your own form.  I was thinking of writing this module as well, and I would have just written my own form.

Gotcha. This is only my second CMS module and my first was purely backend. I've got lots to learn

OK I've had a go at it. Pending the CMS forge project approval, here's an XML file of FeuCalendar 0.1 alpha. Please test and comment.
