Hello,
I want to provide calendar roll-up for all sub-sites in a site collection
I have Site A which has subsite1 and subsite2, then on SiteA, i would want to see an aggregate of the calendar entries from subsite1 and subsite2 on a calendar in Site A.

Can you please let me know how to do this!!
Thanks

I use Apps4Rent and so do not have access to a lot of the back end programming. Is there vendor softward for rollups that does not require back end loading?

I would recommend creating one calendar, and put a qualifier in there to determine which area of the site the event would apply towards. Then create a calendar web part on the various pages and filter it in the view to only show that area. It doesn’t work on sub sites (or I don’t know how to get it to work on sub-sites), but if you just create some webpart pages it is hard to tell the difference.

Content Query Tool part does not show “Calendar” as a List Type????

It only contains “Pages Library”, “Custom List”, “Document Library”, “Pictures
Library”, “Posts”, “Tasks”, and “Workflow History”.

How do I add the Calendar choice there????

As another alternative, how about creating another Calendar and then using workflows to replicate entries from all other calendars into it?

This way you can still get a Calendar view.

Or perhaps just use a single Calendar in the first place and use filters to display any specific Calendar requirements?

The result doesnt show the dates either. I would have thought that this was pretty important. You dont seem to be able to add the date with a custom template either.

This is a con – as it doesn’t display multiple events in a single chronological order, which is what people want.

Sorry

Yes, publishing has to be turned on to activate the CQWP. — Mark

I’m using MOSS 2007, but I don’t have the Content Query WebPart available. Do you have to have Publishing turned on to access the CQWP?

Jim – In MOSS, web parts can not view across site collections, but viewing across sites can be done with the Content Query Web Part.

If you are using basic WSS, you’re going to have to figure something else out since there is no CQWP in WSS.
