    I apologize for posting this twice – I think I posted it in the wrong place the first time and see no way to delete or move it.

    Here’s what I am trying to do. I think I need to store the events at the main site, I’m not so sure about the locations.

    I need to make sure I get the network settings correct because I will have Hell to pay if I have to change them and sub-site events start disappearing.

    I need to display these calendars:

    1. Display a global calendar on the main site with all main and sub-site events in it.

    2. Display a main-site calendar on the main site with only main site events in it.

    3. Display a calendar on each sub-site with ONLY THAT SUB-SITE’s events plus main site events, but NOT events from the other subsites.

    As for locations:

    Locations on main blog: I think the answer is NO

    When someone clicks on an event, I want it to redirect to that event on the site that created it, so I think I should let the main site and each subsite handle their own locations. Is this talking about the list of locations displayed when someone is creating a new event? Each subsite would only be creating events for their own locations and not for locations belonging to another subsite.

    Network Email Settings:

    Do the network email settings force the notification sender name, etc. to be global instead of each subsite having it’s own notification setup

    HERE ARE THE NETWORK SETTINGS I THINK I NEED:

    Enable global tables mode – YES

    Display global events on main blog – YES

    Link sub-site events directly to sub-site – YES

    I don’t understand this comment: “You must have assigned a event page in your main blog settings for this to work.”

    Display global locations on main blog? – NO

    I don’t see any documentation or examples on setting up the calendars as described above to filter properly. I reviewed the shortcodes, template tags, and search attributes to limit a calendar to only the events created on the main site, or on a subsite to display only those events created on that subsite plus those created on the main site.

    I’m asking if the settings I plan to use will do what I’m saying that I want to do.

    I don’t understand what the Network Admin Email settings do.

    I need to know how to use shortcodes, etc. to do the following:

    1. Display a global calendar on the main site with all main and sub-site events in it.

    2. Display a main-site calendar on the main site with only main site events in it.

    3. Display a calendar on each sub-site with ONLY THAT SUB-SITE’s events plus main site events, but NOT events from the other subsites.

    to use calendar to display events across the sites you can try shortcode [events_calendar blog=”x”] where x is the blog id or [events_calendar blog=”x,y,z”] where x,y and z are the blog id
