Hello Robert,
Thanks for the response.
I did look into this, and Demo EventCalendar [1] does indeed look very
close to what my end-goal could be .
I fear however this MediaWiki newbie has not head enough coffee yet. I
have installed the SMW and Page Forms plugin to my MediaWiki test
server, extended the database all fine too.
But while I'm jumping from URL to URL, I'm not yet able to able to even
create even the simplest of calendars.
Will have to look at this a bit more thorough later.
Best regards
Hans

Hello Hans,
have a look at Semantic MediaWiki [1] and Semantic Result Formats
[2][3]. In combination with Page Forms [4][5] (to provide a firendly
user interface when creating/editing events) and Lockdown [6] extension
you should have some options to work with. As mentioned by others,
LdapAuthentication extension will also be required.
You can use different namespaces to handle different calendars and
control (write) access. And then use queries to display them all
together or seperately. Unfortunately with Lockdown/Semantic MediaWiki
you will only be able to resrict edit permissions. Proper restriction
of read permissions is not that easy.

Hi list,
Newbie alert !!
I have a question about MediaWiki and calendaring integration and
hope
this is the correct list to ask ?
I work in a technical support organization where we do use MediaWiki
to
share information between peers globally. Due to progressing
requirements, I would like to integrate a calendar within our
MediaWiki
because of it's flexibility and ease of use for everyone.
I have the following requirements :
- LDAP user integration.
[1] Maintain wiki rights for LDAP users,
[2] Restrict calendar rights and maintain the ability to track
changes and to revert when needed.
- No external access.
We do not want to rely on external sites as for example Google
for
both security and privacy concerns.
- Support multiple calendars
We need the ability to add multiple calendars to the same wiki in
order accommodate different needs for different teams.
- Event display
Calendar should display an appropriate event field with possibly
additional detail.
I have looked at some Calendar extensions but not yet found what I
am
looking for.
Are there any MediaWiki Calendar extensions that people here use in
similar fashion and/or perhaps can recommend, or have people here
built
customized wiki-integrated solutions for this type of use ?
The consensus could also be we need to look at alternative and
perhaps
more 'heavy-weight' solutions for this task.
Just looking for ideas here, and appreciate your thoughts and
insights,
since a MediaWIki solution would be preferred.
Best regards
Hans
