FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package calendar
Calendar & Events for Flarum
A full-featured, free calendar & events extension for Flarum 2 — and an engagement engine that makes your whole community feel alive. Events (month/ week/day/list, RSVPs, recurrence, iCal + Google Calendar) plus a GitHub-style activity heatmap with streaks, a forum-pulse leaderboard, live countdowns in any post, "on this day" memories, and member birthday/anniversary celebrations.
Everything works on the default theme and integrates natively with Bespoke and Page Builder.
Built to feel premium. Priced at free.
✨ Engagement engine (the reason to install even if you don't need a calendar)
- 🔥 Activity heatmap + streaks — every member profile gets a GitHub-style year-long contribution graph with current/longest streaks, totals, and earned achievement badges. The single best driver of daily return visits.
- 📈 Forum Pulse — a community-wide activity heatmap + "most active" leaderboard widget that shows, at a glance, that the place is buzzing.
- ⏳ Live countdowns — drop
[countdown=2026-12-31T23:59:59]New Year[/countdown]into any post for a live ticking timer; upcoming events get one automatically. - 🕰️ On this day — resurfaces the most-discussed threads from today's date in years past, reviving old conversations.
- 🎂 Member celebrations — opt-in birthdays (month/day only — never a year) and join-anniversaries, shown in a "today's celebrations" widget.
Each appears on the default theme and as a Bespoke widget / Page Builder block, with admin toggles for the index widgets.
Calendar & events features
- 🗓️ Month, Week, Day & list views with quick prev / today / next navigation. Week/Day are true time grids with hour lines, a live "now" indicator, side-by-side overlapping events, and double-click-to-create at the clicked time slot.
- 📍 Location on every event, rendered as a one-tap Google Maps link.
- 🔁 Recurring events (daily / weekly / monthly / yearly) via standard
RRULE, expanded on the fly so each occurrence shows on the right day. - ✅ RSVP — members mark themselves Going or Interested, with live counts.
- 🎨 Categories with colours — filter the calendar and give each event a coloured accent. Managed from a dedicated admin panel with a colour picker.
- 🖼️ Cover image per event — paste a URL, or upload a file directly when FoF Upload is installed (auto-detected; falls back to a URL field otherwise).
- 📅 iCal export — a subscribable
feed.icsfor the whole calendar plus a per-event.icsdownload (RFC 5545, proper escaping & folding). - 🟦 Google Calendar — "Add to Google Calendar" deep-links with title, time, description and location pre-filled.
- 💬 Optional discussion thread per event (hybrid model) so members can comment using Flarum's native discussion UI.
- 🧩 Upcoming Events widget — works standalone on the default theme, and registers as a first-class widget/block in Bespoke and Page Builder.
- 🌓 Theme-aware — every colour resolves through Flarum's own CSS variables, so it looks correct in light & dark and on custom themes out of the box.
- 🔐 Permissions — separate "create events" and "manage all events" controls.
Installation
Then open Admin → Calendar to configure it.
Updating
Configuration
Admin → Calendar gives you:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Default view | Month grid or upcoming list when the calendar opens. |
| Week starts on | Sunday or Monday. |
| Index widget | Show an "Upcoming events" widget on the forum index. |
| Widget count | How many upcoming events the widget lists. |
| Link discussion | Auto-create a discussion thread for each new event (for comments). |
| Categories | Add / rename / recolour / delete colour-coded categories. |
Two permissions are added under Admin → Permissions:
- Create calendar events — who can add events.
- Manage all calendar events — who can edit/delete events they don't own.
The Upcoming Events widget
The widget is a self-contained component, so it shows up automatically wherever your theme supports it:
- Default theme — appears in the index sidebar (toggle in admin).
- Bespoke — available in the widget tray as Upcoming events.
- Page Builder — available as an Events block.
Calendar subscription (iCal)
Every calendar exposes a subscribable feed at:
Paste that URL into Google Calendar (Other calendars → From URL), Apple
Calendar (File → New Calendar Subscription), or Outlook to keep events in sync.
Each event also has its own .ics download and an "Add to Google Calendar" link.
How events are modelled
Events are their own records (title, time, location, recurrence, etc.). When Link discussion is enabled, creating an event also spins up a normal Flarum discussion linked to it, so comments, mentions, likes and notifications all work exactly as members expect — no parallel comment system to learn.
Compatibility
- Flarum
^2.0 - PHP
^8.3 - No required third-party extensions. Plays nicely with Bespoke & Page Builder when present, and degrades gracefully when they aren't.
- Optional: FoF Upload — enables drag-free file uploads for event cover images.
