This article shows you how to access the monthly calendar just for a specific group.

A monthly view of events is accessible on an Insight web site at the Calendar/Month.aspx address e.g.http://www.example.com/Calendar/Month.aspx. This page can be accessed by selecting the Calendar option below the Home menu option.

Sometimes you may want a monthly calendar for a specific group. You can configure the calendar component in a layout to display a link to a monthly calendar view of events in the same group as that specified in the component. However, if you want to link to a monthly calendar that has slightly different setting from the calendar component you can create a link to a url with the following syntax to get the precise monthly calendar view you require:

http://{domainname}/Calendar/Month.aspx?ChildGroups={true or false}&group=group_id}

e.g.http://www.example.com/Calendar/Month.aspx?ChildGroups=true&group=111111

Note:The group id can be accessed as follows:

  1. Select the group within Site Manager in the Web Office
  2. Next select the Summary tab and then scroll down to open the Advanced Options
  3. Within the Advanced options select the tasksbullet Edit the page title and meta tags for groupname task and a new page will be displayed shortly afterwards.
  4. At the top of the page is the direct URL to the page, this contains a number for the group id, copy and paste this number into the URL to the monthly calendar you are creating.

I think this is what I would like to accomplish, but I got to be honest, I am lost.  I am trying to create a link within the YOUTH page that displays the calendar but with only Youth details on it.  After reading this article I think this is the correct information, but I got lost in translation.... Help?

The instructions above are for displaying events for a particular group in the monthly calendar format as seen on the  /Calendar/Month.aspx page. If you just want to display a list of the events relevant to your group you just need a layout with a 'calendar' component that is set to display the events for the 'current group'.

If you still think you want your events listed in the monthly calendar format submit a support request outlining at which step of the process listed above you're getting stuck at and we'll advise you.
