Smart Date Calendar Kit

Installs a preconfigured view to use Smart Date values in a FullCalendar display. Extends on and requires Smart Date Starter Kit so review that module and its notes about the default configuration provided.

This module is not intended to be a complete solution, but a starting point. It could be useful for evaluating the basic functionality of Smart Date and FullCalendar, or it could be the starting point for a more customized solution. You can try out the capabilities offered by this module on SimplyTest.me.

Installation

If using composer and drush, installation is as simple as running composer require drupal/smart_date_calendar_kit
and then drush en smart_date_calendar_kit -y. This will download and install all the necessary modules, and provide an Events content type and related views, related to together via tab navigation.

Note that the calendar won't render without any content, so you must first go to /node/add/event to create at least one event, and then you can visit /events/calendar to see your calendar.

Fancy using a recipe? If your Drupal site is 10.3 or newer, you can get a very similar result by applying the Events Calendar recipe.

Recurring Events

Recurring events (available in Smart Date since 8.x-2.0) are not enabled by default, but the overall configuration has been built to support them. If recurring dates are required, enable the Smart Date Recur module and then go to /admin/structure/types/manage/event/fields/node.event.field_when in your site to enable recurring values for the field.

Drag and Drop

In its initial configuration, the calendar will allow drag and drop editing of events to users with the necessary permissions. You will also be able to double-click on a date or time to create an event with that time pre-populated.
