There has been discussion in the Pacific Northwest Forum about trying to organize dive events among group members. Can a group calendar function be added to allow regional groups to plan local events? This would possibly be easier to manage and organize than trying to use a site-wide global calendar. I know that our leadership is encouraging members to plan, organize, and explore in the field. Having a project-planning/calendaring tool would go a long way in promoting that sort of activity among regional groups.  Thanks for everything you've already done to build this community!

This is a great idea, Ben.

Jeff, do we have the capability for this?
Thanks Brian. I was thinking that maybe events on the calendar could link to specific forum threads where the details and planning discussions are done. That way a person could browse the calendar, identify an upcoming event, then follow the link to the forum thread pertaining to that project/event.

Just an idea. (Sorry if I'm making more work for you, Jeff!)

At this point, our provider does not provide for an individual calendar. Maybe that is something you guys can investigate a solution for multiple calenders for UTD. UTD HQ Class Calendar, IDC Calendar, Regional Event Calendar, Dive show calendar, UTD Instructor Classes Calendar and so on.

If ning doesn't implement such functionality, shared google calenders work well.
Great idea, Marc.

Jeff, could we embed a gcal using a text box as shown in this youtube video?

For example I think it would be great to have a calendar for a specific group in or near the "Useful Links" section of that groups page.

For each group calendar that is done someone would need to create a gcalendar from their personal google account though. Probably need a leader/calendar-host to be selected for each group that wants a calendar. That calendar-captain would have to control access rights from their google account I think. Might be a chore, but it would sure be a great group feature.
I'll test it to see that it works, if so, yes.
I tried to test it myself on my profile page but it would strip out my code. I tracked it back to this policy statement:

"For security, we've disabled JavaScript in text boxes for everyone except the Network Creator and the social network Administrators."

I can understand their reasoning. I tried to help but it looks like it's in your hands. : )
