Custom Calendar and Custom Task Object

 

Hi,

 

 

I have created custom object Task__c. It has fields like TaskName, Due Date, Status.

 

I want to display these tasks on calendar according to their due dates.

 

Can i make this functionality using standard salesforce calendar? If yes then How?

 

Do i need to use custom calendar component? Is it possible to display this custom calendar component on homepage?

 

 

Thanks and Regards,

Devendra S

Devendra,

You will need to use a custom Calendar to do this. Ron Hess wrote the framework for a calendar, it is available in Force.com Code Share http://developer.force.com/projectpage?id=a0630000002ahp6AAA

 

As for the Homepage, you can include a VF Component on the homepage. So if you make your Calendar a  VF component you can add that to the Homepage Layout.

Just to add on, the Force.com Labs project "Milestones PM" implements Ron Hess's calendar framework and is open source if you need futher example of how to use it.
