Hi all,

I am looking for a php/mysql based calendar software (not necessarily free/open source) which can handle complex tasks. Among the features I *need*:

- multi-user/multi-calendar
- complex recurring dates, like "every third friday, but not in July" etc.
- sub-calendars, with the option to show (or not show) dates in main calendar/other calendar
- export for common PM software (outlook, ...) and CSV as well
- RSS feed per calendar
- email notification
- everyone can add dates, which can be approved by admins

I've been googling for quite a time now, but 99% of the results are "simple" calendars, and the other ones don't have those features.

I am currently using CALCIUM calendar
http://www.brownbearsw.com/calcium/
this is basically what I need.

Calcium is written in PERL, and I need a PHP calendar for easy integration in Wordpress.

If anyone knows a real powerful calendar, please let me know ...

Cheers,
Alex

I bought this php calendar script after looking around at quite a few it looked to me to have the best features...I have not yet installed it so can not review it...but see if its features meet your requirements at the link below..there is a demo version on their site also..

Web Calendar Pro (http://www.web-calendar-pro.com/features.html)

Only feature you mentioned that it doesnt appear to have is an rss feature, but you can export to csv format, from which you can quite simply convert to rss with some automated cron job I would think...

Thanks,
but Web Calendar Pro has no complex recurring events ("every 3rd tuesday but not in July"), you can't specify an end time of an event, and it has no dynamic calendar merging ...

Cheers,
Alex

The best solution may be to modify an existing solution.

Sorry, yes, the recurring events in web calendar pro are not as complex as that. That said, Kguns suggestion for modification is possible with Web Calendar Pro, there is a small link to a contact center, on left of page at Web Calendar Pro (http://www.web-calendar-pro.com/overview.html) where it says you can "inquire about customization" if you do not ifnd anything elsewhere that specifically meets the requirements.
