Does discourse have any kind of calendar function built in? It would be really cool to have a calendar where everyone can enter their bioblitz/event info, Right now they can be difficult to find out about, and then suddenly I get invited to 3 different ones in the same time slot!

Apparently, there is a plug-in for a calendar: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-calendar/97376 (whatever that means).

I usually find out about them when I see the observations showing up… and by then it is too late. I am very interested in attending other bioblitzes, so a calendar would be awesome! Especially if it pulled directly from projects that are indicated as being for bioblitzes

a calendar and a map linked together would be awesome.

you may or may not find this relevant but elements of this conversation happened earlier over here: https://inaturalist.trydiscourse.com/t/just-meta-forum-about-inaturalist-or-a-forum-for-the-inaturalist-community-to-discuss-shared-interests/135/4 just FYI if it’s useful :slight_smile:

I definitely want to explore the calendar plug-in. It wont help anyone filter by region, but would be helpful to see what’s happening on a day you’re free.

I agree with Charlie that a calendar and map linked together would be really great.

Turns out the Discourse calendar plug-in is only available at a higher tier of Discourse, which is out of our price range, alas. [image] pisum: isn’t that what this is supposed to do? https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/calendar In the ancient days of iNaturalist when traditional projects …

how do you add bioblitzes to that calendar? For our future bioblitzes I am imagining we will have a collection project for the auto adds, and also a traditinal for adding obscured obs, so could still hook into that calendar with the traditional!

Can we have a bioblitz calendar?
