TYPO3 Calendar plugin/extension. Which one to choose? - plugins

I have no clue about where to get started with my calendar plugin. Can you please suggest me if it's easy to create one from the scratch or use an existing one and modify it. If it's the later, which plugin would be better. The following are some key functionalities of my calendar:
The created events should be approved by someone (maybe an authorized group or something).
The events should be customized to be displayed only on specific pages or all the pages.
Add media library
Now, which one would be a better idea...to start a new one..or build on an existing one ? . I'm using TYPO3 6.1.0. and extension builder for creating an extension/plugin.
Thanks

The most popular calendar TYPO3 extension is cal. I think, it's the most complete one.
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/cal
Currently on TER You could find versions which are compatible with TYPO3 CMS up to 6.2.99. You could or participate in its developement, or You could fork it, or You could be inspired by it's functionalities and make Your own.

Integrate existing TouchUI component into RTE - AEM 6.1

I'm looking to see if it's possible to integrate an existing AEM Component that I've developed (lets say button component) into the RTE.
I've read the following blog posts
http://experience-aem.blogspot.com/2015/01/aem-6-sp1-touchui-richtext-editor-color-picker-plugin.html
http://experience-aem.blogspot.com/2015/09/aem-61-touch-ui-rich-text-editor-rte-browse-insert-image.html
I've also read the documentation (which is non existent).
I'm not looking to recreate the exact same component just for the RTE, this would need us to maintain two separate code bases, recreate the custom logic we have in the already existing component which has been tested and automation.
But most of all, go against best practices as we want everything to be agnostic.

which extension should i use for rating system in yii?

I am currently implementing rating and reviewing system in my project which is made in yii, netbeans. I want to use yii extension, but I do not have any idea,about any rating extension. Please I need your suggestions. which extension should I choose so that in future I would be able to find the helping material easily on this extension.I want to implement star rating.
I assume you are referring to yii. In this hypothesis you can try this extension:
http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/dzraty/
or this
http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/pcstarranking/
depend on your neeed
the first is a wrapper for http://yii.dezero.es/dzraty
probably is the more interesting.

Custom forms for a FE plugin in TYPO3 V 6.1.0

SOLUTION
Inline Relational Record Editing is the answer. Handy stuff.
For Documentation
:)
QUESTION
I created a front-end plugin using extension builder in TYPO3 6.1.0. For this plugin, extension builder of course generates few default forms in the backend. However, my intention is to have the forms customized. My plugin has 3 tables related it and all these have to be integrated to be inputted from one common form, than having individual forms, which is not ideal.
Do I configure my TCA stuff for this ?.. If so, please suggest me some good tutorials on that.
Or will using FlexForm do the trick ?...also please suggest some good tutorials.
I also checked out Flux, but did not quite understand the architecture of it.
Thank You :)
EDIT:
I want forms to give the user to fill in records. Lets say I have an extension for creating Calendar Events. I need a form, in the TYPO3 backend, through which an administrator can add events and its details.

Teamsite component or template

I was wondering if page templates can be built instead of individual components in Teamsite 7? I've seen other cMS systems where it is just a page template that has lots of functionality built I and you can "switch" on and off elements that you want to display instead of having to drag components onto a page? Is this possible?
Old question, but since I just came across it:
Yes, TeamSite supports templates (.template) files which can be partial or full page templates. The default location is iwadmin/main/livesite/template.
I recommend downloading the developer guides from Autonomy's web site for detailed information.
Templates in teamsite/livesite is like a bag that can contain components. But in order for a functionality to be developed in teamsite/livesite we need to create components. certainly we can avoid dragging and dropping components in each page by creating templates and dropping components within it for once. Keep in mind templates are bound to layouts. for each type of layout we need to create a template. Please have a look at TS_7.3_SiteDeveloper_rev1, Chapter 5.
Yes, you can create templates instead of dragging components.
Since, TeamSite supports templates (.template) files which can be partial or full page templates and resides at location : iwadmin/main/livesite/template.
So, whenever you try to create a new page everytime the HTML code required for that page gets automatically added with the template and layouts you selected.
But, again this is not good since you can have any number of templates you need but this could create confusions at times when you try to create a new page since you will need to remember every template name and contents that you will need for a particular page so it's better to have small lists of templates and layouts since then we can say that there is reusability in our application/website which we are going to develop using Teamsite and Livesite.
Please vote the solution if its helpful.
Thanks!

typo3 - building a simple functionality

I am building a fairly simple website based on typo3. I'm new to the CMS but I've read almost everything I could find about it - tutorials, wikis, documentation. I'm stuck with designing a functionality for the administrator to be able to create records with predefined attributes (category, date, info, image, ...) and those records to be listed in a table on the front end with a "View detailed" link on each row. Will I need to develop a complete extension for this? From where the administrator will enter these records? How can I iterate them on the front end?
I apologize in advance if my question is too broad.
The Kickstarter extension provides a full stop solution for your needs. There is a good set of, if slightly outdated, screencasts explaining how to use this extension to create your custom record types and associated front-end views.
