ExpressionEngine 2.x Installation Instructions

1. Copy Add-on Files

2. Installing the Add-On

• Upon installation, Calendar creates two new channels (Calendar: Calendars and Calendar: Events) as well as two new custom channel field groups (Calendar: Calendars and Calendar: Events) with a few sample fields. These channels and field groups are tied in together with Calendar.
• Go to the Modules area in the ExpressionEngine Control Panel, find Calendar in the list, and click Install.

3. Loading the Calendar Code Pack sample data (optional)

4. Setup & Configuring

• To create your first calendar, select the Calendar: Calendars channel from the Publish tab in the ExpressionEngine control panel. Each calendar is actually just a glorified channel entry. You can add more this way, or edit existing ones as usual.
• To create your first event, select the Calendar: Events channel from the Publish tab in the ExpressionEngine control panel. Each event is actually just a glorified channel entry that is related to a Calendar channel entry.
• To adjust any settings in Calendar, click on the Preferences tab in the Control Panel area and then modify as necessary.
