Does anyone know how to create a calendar of events that will automatically delete the event once the date has expired?? If so, how do you go about creating this?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Thread moved. I'm guessing there could be some sort of php script for this?

This isn't something you can just say, "How do you do this?". There are a lot of things to take into consideration, and it can be done a number of different ways.

And there's questions we would need to ask as well. For instance is this for the web or a local calendar on you intranet or PC?

Will it support multiple users who each have their own calendar?

The idea is to create a calendar of events (web page) for organizations/ groups, etc in a small community to post their events. I know at some point they are hoping that volunteers will be able to go in and post their own event/s. Whether that will be the case or not I'm not sure. At some point I hope that it should be self sustained.
However for now, I figure what will happen is that the calendar will be developed by another volunteer and probably will end up posting the events as they are given. If this is the case then I would assume and I hate to use that word but... it will most likely be myself that ends up putting this together. Since I don't have alot of time on my hands... it would be really beneficial if I was able to post the events and set it up to automatically delete the event once the date has past.
Since this is a great resource for folks like myself I knew if I put out a thread I would get respones. So with that said, looks like I have some learning to do! Not that I mind cause its another challenge I look forward to putting out there for myself.
Thanks everybody for your thoughts and comments it helps!

I'm trying to understand the requirements so I can figure out which ways it can be done. If you want non-technical folks to be able to update it, you have a huge undertaking on your hands.

Well, I do beleive that there are a few free web calendar packages out there. Do a search for PHP or ASP calendars. Depends on what your webhost supports.
