[IPD] Calendar Again

by Matt Mecham on November 13, 2006

I had previously blogged about IP.Dynamic’s calendar.

Thankfully, it’s nearing completion.

There’s not much to say that the movie clips won’t other than it has support for multiple calendars that can be viewed simultaneously a’la Google Calendar and it introduces ‘context sensitive’ menu options (the Calendar View Options above the left hand menu).

Matt, any estimated time frame for a beta/preview release of IPD? I’m sure I’m not the only person looking forward to trying it out.

He means that IPB 3.0 will incorporate either all or some of the IP.Dynamic features.

12 Matt November 14, 2006 at 10:28 pm

I simply meant that IPB 3.0 would use the IP.Dynamic calendar.

I can’t remember if I saw an option on the menu in the video, but is it going to be possible to set visual reminders to appear when you log into the site?

Say you load up the site in the morning and you’ve got a meeting starting in 30 mins, can you set it to overlay (because popup windows are so last century ;) ) a reminder on a brightly coloured background?

It does look fantastic and, if the public beta looks as good all round then I may be purchasing the odd copy for clients.

Carry on with the good work!

That’s sweet, Matt.
Looks like you’re porting iCal to the web and even improve it :)

SnapzPro (www.ambrosiasw.com). They use IPB on their site too. ;)

I personally cannot wait for the release of IPD and the rest of the new packages, at the moment there is a gap in the market for these products and they will slip in very nicely. Although it all boils down to the 4 P’s of marketing… Product, Price, Place, promotion, these all have to link together nicely, if the product is too expensive people will not buy it because it’s out of their price range. If the product is not promoted correctly, this could potentially cause lack of interest. At the moment IP.Dynamic and IP.NEXUS has been given as much hype as possible which has caught a lot of interest, we all know IPD has a lot of potential and highly customisable, although if the price of the product is out of the scope of peoples price range, this could be damaging. I would suggest considering variations of packages which would increase IPS profits. Standalone Licences as well as Business Licences, instead of selling the whole bundle as one package I would highly recommend separating the package into variations.

Examples:
Standalone Licence IP.Dynamic
Community Licence IP.Board, IP.Blog, IP.Gallery
Standalone Licence IP.Nexus

and so on, if you catch what I’m suggesting.
