[Using Sakai] Using SAKAI Course sites

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Igor,

The sections tool doesn't integrate with the calendar.

It depends on what you are trying to achieve but you might want to look at the signup tool which does integrate with the calendar - it allows you to create timeslots for various things and then users can signup.

cheers,
Steve
