Calendar Events

v12.0

Working with calendars can be tricky as recurring events are defined as iCal patterns. While these patterns are very powerful it is difficult to query for upcoming events in a performant way using SQL/Entity Commands.

A cousin of the 'Entity' commands, this Lava command will provide a summary list of EventScheduledInstances from the provided calendar.

The Basics

{% calendarevents calendarid:'1' audienceids:'151,152' %}
    {% for item in EventScheduledInstances %}
        {{ item.Name }} 
        on {{ item.Date }}
        at {{ item.Time }}
        for {{ item.AudienceNames | Join:', ' }} 

        Contact: {{ item.EventItemOccurrence.ContactEmail }}
    {% endfor %}
{% endcalendarevents %}

By specifying the calendar ID, as well as a few other optional values, you can get an array of summary EventScheduledInstances items. Each could contain:

• EventItemOccurrence - the typical model (as seen in the model map)
• Name
• DateTime
• Date
• Time
• EndDate
• EndTime
• Campus
• Location
• LocationDescription
• Description
• Summary
• OccurrenceNote
• DetailPage
• CalendarNames
• AudienceNames

Parameters

• calendarid
• maxoccurrences
• daterange
• audienceids
• campusids
• startdate
• eventid

Calendar ID 

Required: The id of the calendar to get the occurrences from.

Max Occurrences

Optional: Default 100. The maximum number of event occurrences that should be returned.

Date Range

Optional: Leaving this blank will result in today and all future items being returned (up to the max occurrences). The date range that should be considered, after startdate. The pattern should be 'Xd' where X is the number of units followed by the unit identifier: d = days, w = weeks, m = months.
