Hello, I am new to developing with Ektron and I had attended developer training over 6 months ago.  We've just upgraded to Version: 8.00 (Build 8.0.0.128) and I thought there was an easy way to grab a list of events from a given calendar and display them as a list summary.  Is this possible?  It is not letting me create a list summary meta data definition that will select a calendar folder.

 

Can someone provide me with an example of how to get a list of events using the API?

  

Thanks in advance!

I did notice that if I hard coded the folder ID of the Calendar Folder it will display somewhat correct, but I want to use this in a template, that's why I wanted to set it as a meta data definition, since the calendar displayed will depend on the main content block's ID. 

 

Basically, I need to be able to display the Event information for the next 3 events from a given calendar into a List, where it would look like this:

 

Event Name (this would be a link to more information about the event)

Event Location

Event Date and Time

Event Description Teaser with a "more" link.

 

Event Name (this would be a link to more information about the event)

Event Location

Event Date and Time

Event Description Teaser with a "more" link.

 

Event Name (this would be a link to more information about the event)

Event Location

Event Date and Time

Event Description Teaser with a "more" link.


Any help would be appreciated.

It's pathetic how Ektron's search (both site search and forum seach) couldn't find my post, but google found it right away.

 

Anyways, hopefully this will help you accomplish what you need: http://dev.ektron.com/forum.aspx?g=posts&t=17956
