        Introduction
        ============
        
        The *monet.calendar.star* suite is a complete event managing solution for Plone, inspired by
        needs of the `City of Modena`__. Is widely used for managing all kind of events.
        
        __ http://www.comune.modena.it/
        
        This is only a transitional package, for downloading and installing all other products in the suite
        in a simple way.
        
        Features
        ========
        
        We want to give to Plone an event type that:
        
        * hide totally the "time" data (managed as simple text)
        * give a closed (but configurable) set of type of events
        * the days of weeks where really the event take place
        * be able to manage special days where the event *don't* take place
        * a lot of additional text information
        
        See the `monent.calendar.event page`__ for know how to configure the event.
        
        __ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/monet.calendar.event
        
        Additionally one or more Plone folder can be marked as "*Calendar section*" in a new "Calendar" menu.
        
        .. figure:: http://keul.it/images/plone/monet.calendar.suite-1.0.0-01.png
           :alt: The new Calendar menu
        
           Entries inside the new "Calendar menu"
        
        This mean that this folder can use the "*Calendar view*" that show events in the current day, taken
        (by default, see below) from all the site events. This search take care of counting exceptions and
        days of the week of events.
        
        .. figure:: http://keul.it/images/plone/monet.calendar.suite-1.0.0-02.png
           :alt: Single day view
        
           The "Calendar view"
        
        Every event (and the also calendar sections) will also show a new "search" section at the top. This
        form can be used to perform a search on events of the calendar.
        
        .. figure:: http://keul.it/images/plone/monet.calendar.suite-1.0.0-03.png
           :alt: As new events looks like
        
           The search form on events
        
        The form can be used to expand the search to more than one day, showing a summary of all events, per-day
        
        .. figure:: http://keul.it/images/plone/monet.calendar.suite-1.0.0-04.png
           :alt: Search results on multiple days
        
           Search results on multiple days
        
        Use multiple calendar: "Calendar root" sections
        -----------------------------------------------
        
        Using again the "*Calendar menu*" you can also mark folder as "Calendar root".
        This is useful when using a Plone filled of subsites, where you can have a *main calendar* that
        look at every event in the site, but also additional subcalendars (inside many calendar roots).
        
        When a calendar perform searches inside a Calendar root, it will only look for events inside the
        calendar root itself
        
        .. figure:: http://keul.it/images/plone/monet.calendar.suite-1.0.0-05.png
           :alt: Search results on multiple days
        
           Same search above, but on a local calendar
           ("Subsite 1" there is a "Calendar root" section)
        
        New calendar portlet
        --------------------
        
        The calendar construction is expensive, and not good to be used in a portlet of the site, where is
        visibile (in the worst case, also not cached) in every page of the site.
        
        When you install the monet.calendar.extension product, the calendar portlet is replaced with a version
        that:
        
        * not show anymore events in a specific day
        * every cell is a link that perform a day-search in the nearest calendar
        
        "Nearest calendar" mean that is you are in inside a "calendar root" section you will be moved to
        the calendar of that section.
        
        Special event types
        -------------------
        
        From ZMI (see also `monet.calendar.event`__ configuration) you can specify one or more event type
        as "special". Those are then highlighted in the single day view, below the categorizations done for
        the time of event.
        
        __ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/monet.calendar.event
        
        Example:
        
        * Morning
        * Afternoon
        * Evenengin
        * *YouEventType*
        
        Plone4Artists Calendar integration
        ----------------------------------
        
        The suite were originally done for working with p4a.calendar. The compatibility code is still there,
        but has not been tested in latests releases. 
        
        Dependencies tree
        =================
        
        You can freely install single components of the suite, that are:
        
        * monet.recurring_event
        
          * p4a.plonecalendar (optional, see below)
        
          * rt.calendarinandout
        
            * collective.js.jqueryui
        
        * monet.calendar.event
        
        * monet.calendar.extensions
        
        Requirements
        ============
        
        The monet.calendar.star solution works onto:
        
        * Plone 3.2
        * Plone 3.3
        * Plone 4
        
        Under Plone 4 the integration with the "Sunburst theme" is not perfect.
