events

This plugin scans blog posts for an events. It also generates an .ical calendar file.

Dependencies

This plugin depends on the icalendar package, which can be installed using APT or RPM or, if you are unlucky, via pip:

pip install icalendar

Usage

Add the following to pelicanconf.py::

PLUGIN_EVENTS = {

'ics_fname': 'calendar.ics',

}

Create articles and usual and add the "event-start" metadata to turn them into events. The event start is independent of the article "date". "event-start" is in "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm" format. Also add "event-end", in the same format, or "event-duration" as a number followed by a dimension:

w: weeks d: days h: hours m: minutes s: seconds

You can also specify an optional "location"

Example in ReST format:

:event-start: 2015-01-21 10:30
:event-duration: 2h
:location: somewhere

To generate an sorted event list in a dedicated page copy the events_list.html template under the templates directory in your theme, then create a page:

content/pages/events_list.rst:

Events list
###########
:slug: events-list
:summary:
:template: events_list
