Is there currently a way use a Wix ‘Data Collection’ to populate a calendar. The Wix Calendar does not have a "connect to Data Collection’ feature.
The goal is to have users submit a form to add an event to the (wix) database, which would then show the event on a calendar.
Any input would be appreciated!
Hi Sam,
At the moment it is not possible to connect a calendar to a collection.
You can either implement a calendar from scratch using Wix code capabilities or import code from a third party source.

I am using this awesome app:
Events Calendar by Inffuse. In the wix apps There is a free version, but it is very limited so I have the premium version @ $3.99 per month. I linked my calender to a google form that populates into a google sheet. The sheet is connected to this google add on: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/calendar-events-creator/ocabgabappdcccdahhckhckicbedomgm?hl=en-US @ $1.99 per month. Sometimes I run into trouble, but for $6 a month it is a pretty seamless solution.
If you still want a free version: I would create a page with a repeater. In your database have a column for date of event. Title of event and description of event. Also maybe a link to the details. What is nice about a repeater you can customize how your text shows up and then link the database fields to it and it will populate the list for you. After you set your repeater up sort your dataset by date a to z. However, it won’t look like a classic calendar and I suspect that is what you are going for.
Let me know what works for you
