Build your own calendar application with WebCalendar

[ad_1]

WebCalendar (opens in new tab) is an open-source application you can use to create a private online calendar, a multi-user calendar for collaboration, or a public event calendar that’s viewable by all. It supports email reminders, multiple calendar views, and 30 languages.

The latest stable version of WebCalendar, version 1.3.0, was released in 2019. It’s the predominant version of WebCalendar you’ll find on web hosting as of writing, but it does have a somewhat outdated user interface. A new version of WebCalendar with an updated user interface is currently in production.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up WebCalendar on website hosting (opens in new tab) from Hostinger (opens in new tab).

Step 1: Install WebCalendar with Auto Installer

Hostinger includes an automated installation wizard for WebCalendar, which you’ll find in the Hostinger website administration panel. This saves you from having to download the software and upload it yourself to your hosting.

Choose Auto Installer, and click the button marked Select (below Other). From the dropdown box that appears, pick WebCalendar and press Select to begin the installation process.

Step 2: Set admin credentials and installation path

The first step of the wizard asks for a few basic details about your calendar. Set a title for the calendar, administrator email, and a username and password to log in.

Click on Advanced if you want to change the subdirectory the calendar will be installed to, which will affect the URL your calendar will be available at. You can also select an existing database to install WebCalendar to, or create a database for all WebCalendar’s data. If possible, choose a new database, as this will keep WebCalendar’s data separate from other applications.
