Unique Event/Meeting Calendar Scheduler for registered users

Posted by Community Admin on 06-Jul-2012 00:00

I would like to add functionality to my web site that will allow users to manage their meetings/events similar to Outlook's calendar. How do I set up Sitefinity so that users can add events/meetings but those entries will not display for other users? I have looked at RadScheduler but haven't figured out exactly how to connect that to a Sitefinity user account.

Thanks,
Matt

Would someone mind posting a similar custom user control that is used on this page to display the training calendar?

Hello,

You could bind a RadScheduler control to our Events module and have this functionality, please check out the discussion on the URL bellow:

Thanks. I was able to get the calendar to show with a tool tip but I'm not sure how to filter the Events/Appointment calendar based on the logged-in user id. How does one filter events by user id? I only want to show appointments/events based on what a user has entered and restrict users from seeing other appointment/events unless logged in as the Administrator.

Here are my files. I assume that I need to modify the where clause and include a reference to using Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model;

I just wanted to say what you are doing here sounds really cool!

P.S. I also posted so I would be notified of updates.

Hi,

You can get the ID of the current user and after that get all the items, which have the same owner's ID as the user's ID. Please review the source code bellow:

protected virtual IList<Event> GetSourceItems()

SecurityManager manager = SecurityManager.GetManager();

var user = SecurityManager.GetCurrentUserId();

var list = new List<Event>();

list = App.WorkWith().Events().Where(c => c.Owner == user & c.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live).Get().ToList();

return list;

Kind regards,
