Group Events
Within my organization we have multiple groups. For each group I want a separate calendar. I also want a master calendar that shows all events across all groups.

I created an Events page and then sub event pages for each group. On the sub event pages, I have edited the EventCalendar web part's path. It appears though this change is global and changes the path for all EventCalendar web parts.

How can I support multiple calendars within my organization? Can I have a master calendar? Thank you.

RE:Group Events
Hi Michael,

If I am getting the right meaning you only need to set the event calendar to list appropriate document type(s) and then the path. You can try to use one of the path expressions - http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/appendix_b___path_expressions.htm.

I think that set the path to /{0}/% (all documents under current path) shouldbe be enough. It means that if the user is on the parent node, all documents of specified type are listed. If the user clicks on some sub-node under which are events related to this section, only these events are displayed.

I hope it will help.

Best Regards,

RE:Group Events
Thank you Juraj for your reply.

The method you have outlined is what I have tried.

If I change the path of the calendar web part on one page it changes all of the other calendar web parts paths on the others pages as well. Even if I change the web part ID on one page, the ID on the other pages change as well. It appears the web parts are linked. Any ideas why changing a web part on one page would affect the web parts on another page?

RE:Group Events
Hi again,

The problem is that both documents are using the same page template. The point of the templates is that you can have the same layout on different pages. The web parts are a part of the layout. So, if you change configuration on one page, it will be changed also on all other pages with the same templates - www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/cloning_and_modifying_a_page_t.htm
