Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
This extension is about to deliver a simple event templating solution: Simply define some template records, visit the BE module, type in the new date and any other information is copied to the new date.
This is especially useful if you have some regular events that does not fit any recurrence schema; e.g. alsways on monday, 15:00 pm; but sometimes the 1 st and 3 rd monday of a month, sometimes 1 st and 4 th , sometimes only the 2 nd ...

Installation¶
Step 1: Install the extension¶
The extension can be installed through the typical TYPO3 installation process using the Extension Manager. It requires to to have the calendar base extension (extension key: cal) installed in version 1.3 or above.
Step 2: Add event template records¶
Add one or more “cal event template” records to any page you want. I suggest to use a dedicated page/sysfolder that holds nothing else.
Provide a meaningful name for the record and select a “template” event from the dropdown.
Please be aware that the copied record(s) will be inserted on the same page where your template event is placed by default. You can change this by setting the field “Store to fixed PID”
Step 3: Create new events by using the backend module¶
Simply go to the backend module “Cal templates” and pick you the template event you want duplicate: Enter a new date (which should be a valid one!) and click “Clone Now!”.
If the template event spans more than one day you will be prompted to enter both a start and an end day. If the end day is invalid, missing or earlier than the start day the cloned event will have the end day set equal to the start day.
In case everything goes well, you will receive a message that tells you that everything is ok and gives you the UID of the new record.
