We’re excited to announce some great new features to DPCalender this month, which we've developed alongside a host of bug fixes and tons of minor improvements to the software. We hope that the changes will make users’ lives even easier as they use DPCalendar every day.
The foremost new feature to be added in the latest DPCalender Joomla installation is the ability for all personal calendars to be managed through any CalDAV app. CalDAV is a popular open protocol which allows calendar access via WebDAV and presents calendar events in iCalendar format. DPCalendar is the first Joomla calendar and event manager who supports the caldav protocol.
Integrated iCal
Additionally DPCalendar users now have the ability to use the integrated iCal URL so that their information can be shared easily across devices. Simply subscribe to the URL from any device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or PC and your information will be synchronised so that you always know what you have on, wherever you are.
This is perfect for organising time on the go and ideal for those who use a BYOD scheme at work, as important information is never any more than a click away. Now not only can you have one of the best Joomla calendars out there, but you can manage your life from the car, work or even in a restaurant!
Access calender from anywhere!
We recognise that this is an important requirement for today’s connected world and with more smartphones than toothbrushes now in the world, the majority of owners want to access information from a variety of places.
DPCalendar was already a great, high-end product, designed for ease of use and maximum functionality for today’s busy web owner. Not only does it have all the features you would expect from a Joomla calendar, such as Ajax powered event browsing, frontend editing, ACL, nested calendars and batch editing, it can now be accessed on the go.
Sleek design and social media integration
Add to this the beautifully sleek design and its ability to be integrated with social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, DPCalendar also features SEO settings for the ultimate in professional calendar and event management for Joomla.
We hope you enjoy the new and improved DPCalendar, with all of the tweaking we’ve been doing, alongside the new features, we think you’ll love it!
