Event Portlet

Customized Liferay’s Calendar portlet using Hooks. New event types are added to the portlet. Added few detail fields on event entry section using expando bridge. Implemented a new settings part, where administrator can choose which event types to be allowed / restrict. User can only add events for permitted event types.

Event portlet is totally based on Liferay’s calendar portlet. The events that are added by users in the Calendar portlet are listed on the event portlet in a search container. Here, a filtration based on Event Types, Categories and Subcategories are implemented. Categories are loaded from Liferay Categories using vocabulary name. When a user selects a particular category, then the process loads all subcategories for that category.
