Today

you see events to which you have been invited but haven't answered yet, and when you filter by “Will attend”
, you will be shown events that you have confirmed that you will attend. However, if you select to filter by “Will not attend”
, it will also show you the events which you confirmed you will not be attending to. The “Maybe”
option will show you the events that you have decided you may be able to attend to.
There is no list view in the Calendar
module - use the calender view (see above) instead.1)
Each task is assigned to a workspace. You can select the appropriate workspace here. Check Apply Workspace to Subtasks
to apply this setting for all subtasks of this task as well.
In this section you can assign one or more tags to a task.
This option allows you to describe the content of this object.
If you want to repeat the same event on different dates (like a weekly meeting or a birthday) you can define an event as a repeating event. (This is very similar to defining a repeating task.)
daily
, weekly
, monthly
or yearly
. To convert a repeating event back to a normal event simply set this dropdown menu to This Day Only
.To ensure that people don't forget an event you can define reminders, consisting of e-mail notifications or pop-up alerts. (This is very similar to defining reminders for tasks.)
Choose the type of reminder (E-mail
or Pop-up message
) and the timeframe (in Minutes
, Hours
, Days
or Weeks
). By checking Apply to all subscribers
these reminders will be sent not only to the invited people but to all users who have subscribed to this event as well. You can define as many reminders for an event as you like.
Please note: Feng Office will not prevent you from defining several identical reminders.
In this section, you will have the option to set your own new properties depending on your needs.
This section allows you to edit the subscribers options.
This section allows you to link objects to a task (and unlink them as well).
This section will let you invite users to this event trough an automatically sent email notification and/or by subscribing them to this event.
When you create an event you have to decide which users you want to invite. In addition, you can choose to send invitations by e-mail.
PLEASE NOTE: Which users you are able to invite depends on the workspace the event belongs to.3)
Inviting people has two consequences:

view.In the Detail View of the event, you will find a list where you can see who has been invited, who will attend and who has declined.
Feng Office provides importing and exporting features that support most thrid-party Calendars, and two-way synchronization with Google Calendar.
In case you would like to import events to Feng Office, you first have to go to the client, project or workspace where you would like to import your events to, and then go to the 'Calendar' tab and select the 'Import' option as shown below:
Then you will be directed to the following page:
Lastly you would have to select the file containing your events and click the 'Import' button.
If you would like to export your Feng Office events, you would have to go to the ‘Calendar’ tab and click on 'Import/Export' > 'Export' as shown below:
Next screen will be as following:
Here you would have to select the date range of the exportation, and a name for the Calendar, and finally click on 'Export'.
This will generate an iCalendar file, which you may import anywhere it is supported.
Feng Office supports (Starting with 2.0) two-ways synchronization with Google Calendar.
Here are the details on how to Synchronize with Google Calendar
While there are reports of adaptations to other calendars ((like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Sunbird/Lightning, and Apple iCal) these are still not part of the Standard Feng Office Editions.

You will be glad to know, I began construction on a Python script to help you with your Google Calendar sync. Took me a couple of hours, but, it's pretty much done.
It checks against the existing MySQL DB for OpenGoo, for new Project Events and Project Tasks, and then passes these events to your Google Calendar via the Google Python API modules and authentication system.
Currently all it does is a one-way street to Google for New project tasks and events. I may consider working with the code some more to make it bi-directional if I have more time (it's not that hard, really), but, I'm making this openly available to the public if you wish to use this for your own needs.
Shoot me a message if you're interested in playing with the code. Python is really easy to figure out, by the way - and is kind of like Perl on steroids.
If you want to improve this code, by all means, please do!

Dear Shawn,
could you make your code available?
Cheers,
It is available !
For the life of me I cannot work out where this is available from. Where do I get the code or plugin.

Is creating an event which lasts more than one day only possible using the repeating event function? If so, this should be described in the manual.
Regards Andreas.
Up to OpenGoo 1.5.x it's not possible to create an event that covers more than one calendar day. We've added this in the wiki (see “Edit view” > “Main section”).
But OpenGoo 1.6 will introduce this functionality - see http://blog.opengoo.org/?p=116#more-116
If a task cover multiple days the calendar only shows the task on the start and completion date. Is it possible to display it on ALL dates between?
Hi Matthew, Feng Office shows only start and end dates so far because otherwise if you have many tasks you would have tons of different tasks in the calendar, and it would probably confuse people
I have a repeating appointment. I would like to change the date on one day only. For instance, I have an appointment every Tuesday, but one week I would like the appointment changed to a Wednesday. This would be for the one week only. How do I make this happen? Everything I've tried has changed all the weeks to a Wednesday.
I am afraid you will have to create a new event for this scenario
Is it possible to have (like in Google Calendar) a strip of color over the days that the “task” takes place so overlapping tasks, events, trips can be easily viewed on the monthly calendar?
