I'm looking for suggestions on a calendar / event module for umbraco. I need something that allow the admin to set up events (with recurrsion if possible) including locations. The web site will then display the events in a calendar or list format and show the locations on a map (using either google or bing). I'd also like to be able to assign categories to events and allow the web site user to filter on these categories. I could build something like this from scratch but wasn't sure if there were any modules that already existed that did all or part of this. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Thanks for the reply. I will take a look at these and maybe use one as a starting point. I've written similar things but not in Umbraco. Recurring events is the hardest part. Maybe that will be a phase 2 implementation.

Hi Chuck,
These are the only two prebuilt packages that I know of, but I think both are a bit older:
PDCalendar
uCalendar
It's not that difficult to roll your own in Umbraco/.NET, I think the hardest part though might be the recurring events.

Chuck, what version of Umbraco are you running and which of these packages did you have the best success with or did you build your own?
