Hi,
It seems that 2 main tasks are not supported by a combination of those 2 modules:
- Show me events from all my groups (where I am a member) on one Calendar view.
- Show me events from the group whos homepage I'm viewing right now (doesn't matter I am a member or not). - this is handled by og_calendar and event module combo.
I was working offline whole day yesterday and didn't find out any solution.
Any ideas ?
Cheers,

Bug...?
Besides this, I can tell that there seems to be a bug here, because the filters aren´t working.
I mean, they do work because you can add to the calendar view an exposed filter with all your groups, but that´s not working well because the list shows all groups in the system!
I´ve posted this issue, but the problem is still there.

I have it working perfectly.
I have it working perfectly. Im not using any exposed filters though ... and I started with an override of the existing calendar view that is created when you install the calendar module.
I am able to see everything perfectly ... different date content_types with a color legend and all. I also created another calender for specific organic group that only they can access and has their own unique date content_types, I also included the public events in their calender view too cause the group is for employees. This is a great way to do this .. though I cant help but thinking making a custom module which performs all these steps would be nice .. might even be faster, certainly more portable.
The only thing that would put icing on the cake for me .. would be integrating the drag and drop views module so events can be dragged to other dates in the month view; that would be freaking awesome!
How did you make the color legend work?
Hey macro,
You don't say how you got it to work perfectly. I know this set-up is kinda complex but maybe you can help us with one part. We want to color code our calendar display by the OG group (Chapter) a calendar node belongs to, but the colors in our calendar only indicate the Content Type (Event), not the OG group that we want to indicate. It seems like the "Calendar Settings" should hold the key to this.
In the Legend Vocabularies field we have only the OG group "Chapter" selected.
Under Legend Terms we have different colors assigned for each OG group "Chapter" .
Under Legend Content Types we have tried assigning colors for the both Chapters and Events content types but we only see the Event type color-coded. With colors unassigned for Events we don't see any legend colors in the calendar at all.
Any suggestions for how to get the OG group color code to work?
Thanks
As far as I remember you can
As far as I remember you can only assign the color to the event type, but you could create unique event types for each group and keep the colors different across diff groups; that should work but you may wind up with a lot of event content types. I have to admit its been a while since I set this up and havnt rebuilt it in the new version of the site im working on that I used this in. Been busy as a farm animal!
Heres something you may want to check out .. these guys have built a fantastic drupal calendar https://island.byu.edu/drupal-calendar/discussion they even integrated mouse-over popups which you could add a field to show the related group the event belongs to ... very cool stuff, and an excellent example which you can download and tinker with.
I may not even use og any longer since its not compatible with external/aggressive cache (I think) and I now use pressflow drupal and an external cache for performance, still need to research it though as I really do like og a lot!
Cheers & good luck!

Views theming?
I'm also interested in coloring each entry by OG. Has anybody tried using modified Views theme templates to do this? Is there a template that applies to a full specific event post such that you could test for group context in it and somehow assign a background color to a div?
