I am looking to for a calendar module to use on a Drupal-hosted website which can be synchronized with a calendar on my Android tablet, ideally in both directions. Is there such a module? Thanks.
I don't believe there is a module that can be loaded that will sync with your Android tablet. What CAN be done, is to set up a local site on your Android tablet, and have it post both to your tablet and sync with a remote server. Or you could just have a remote server and get your calendar for both your tablet and the web site from the same site, and just check it using your tablet's internet browser. Otherwise, you'll have to write a program (or find one) that syncs with other external calendars.

OK, that requires internet access though when looking at the calendar on my Android tablet. I was hoping for something that would work similarly to the Contacts application on Android and the Gmail Contacts application for Google where they synch whenever needed. This means I can still access the Contacts list on my Android tablet even if I do not have internet access at that particular time. On Sun, 8 May 2011 11:00:12 -0500, Joel Willers wrote:

Typically, for that to happen, you need custom code on your tablet, not on a web site. Drupal is for web services, not so much local services. That being said, you can get a local web site on your tablet, and then do a ton of custom code for it that, when connected to the internet, could sync with a server. But the simple answer to your question, no, I don't believe there is a module that will sync a device with a web site. Sorry!

You can sync your calendar to a Google calendar and use the Google calendar app to do the sync. On May 8, 2011 10:20 AM, "Joel Willers" <joel.willers@sigler.com> wrote:

AFAIK, there is only one Drupal Calendar module worth considering any more. Strangely enough, it's named "Calendar." You will need the Date (API) module first. Use the default View rather than try to make your own. Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. ________________________________ From: Hakan Is there a particular Drupal calendar module you would recommend for synching with a Google calendar?
I am not sure if this is relevant, but it might be worth looking at fullcalendar. http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/ It is actually a jQuery plugin calendar, embedded in a webpage, that you can load up with data from various sources, including google (IIUC). It has month, week and day modes. In a custom module, I was loading and uploading JSON event data from drupal. I am just not sure how you would get your android calendar to push and retrieve from drupal though. doug On Mon, 9 May 2011, Hakan wrote:

Fullcalendar is an excellent plugin and can be configured to show events/calendar items from multiple sources quite nicely. I used it to show CiviCRM activities and events on the same page. It would be able to display data from a google calendar as well, but it is only using it as a source not as an interface to get data back into google calendar. If you needed to get google calendar items into Drupal as nodes, looking at Feeds might be helpful. Nothing out of the box as far as I know to do what you want to do I'm afraid.

I am a recent convert to Drupal and have got two sites up and running. The learning curve has been more like a cliff with a lot of trees growing out of it to distract my fall. I have been asked to add an embedded video(s) to one of the sites using a block and then viewing it from a shadow box when clicked on. For now there is will be one video on the site they like the idea of YouTube but for now would rather have the video on their server for now. There are plans to develop a total of 5 to 6 video for ads and teaching and place them in different spots on the site. There will be 3 to 4 videos about product and 1 or 2 will be a workshop/teaching videos. I thought using lightbox2 would be the answer but now I find myself stuck in the "trees." Recently I had to redevelop a part of one site because of not doing the research with resources available to me, so I thought I would ask the questions before I get started with the video section of this site. Given the requirement (at least stated so far) what would be the best practice for developing the video solution for this site. Keep in mind this is my first foray into the video/shadow box solutions. thanks, -gary-
You didn't mention what version of Drupal nor the format of the videos, but if it were my project, I'd use the Video CCK type in D6. http://drupal.org/project/video and then create a view to display it. That being said, there are many embedded video modules for use out there. Go to drupal.org and do a search for video and look for modules... I'm sure you'll find one you like.

After spending several hours this weekend doing some research and testing on this for my wife, I can tell you this: * There is nothing currently that will do what you want done. * Using the Event module [1], you can share a Drupal calendar with Google (which can then be sent to your Android device), but you cannot add, change or remove the events on Google or Android. * The Calendar module [2] does NOT work with Google (there are several issues about this in its queue).

Jason, thank you for sharing your extensive research and I expect to also look into this over the next few weeks as I am building a new Drupal-based website. I did take a quick look at a Google page on their calendar - http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/overview/ - which may be useful. I don't know if WebDAV is supported by Drupal and how it can be used but it is mentioned on the Google page should one wish to synchronize with the Google calendar application. My preference would be to have one or more Drupal calendar on the website and one or more Android calendars on my tablet, i.e, bypass Google altogether.
