Introduction¶

What does it do?¶

This TYPO3 extension provides a calendar view to news, as an alternative to List or Date Menu views. It allows to quickly access news related to the current month. Default provided template displays a small calendar for the month, with the list of news for each day as a popup. However, one could easily customize the template to display the calendar as he wishes.

Optionally, the extension can work with eventnews extension, and display events that span multiple days.
