How to use django-scheduler app in existing app

问题

I am looking for django apps to handle Task Calendar kind of event and django-schedule example project provides a sample project but I dont know how to map the my Task class (title & startTime) with the event class of django schedule. Documentation doesn't make it clear how can I do that? Will really apprciate if some pointers or steps can be provided here to use django-schedule app with an existing app

The solution here Using the Django scheduler app with your own models is present but I am not able to make much out of it. I am looking for some tutorial on how to hook django-scheduler to my own model

Found this good conversation on internet https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pinax-users/9NoRWjMdiyM and with as reference will explain the logic as below:

Assume your task class to be having startDateTime & endDateTime & Title
from schedule.models import Event, EventRelation, Calendar ( Coming from Schedule app)
Override the save method of Task object to create new event as below , modified the code provided in the link above to make it clearer
The code looks for a existing Calendar and attaches the event to it which is linked to the Task object via relationship

Tried the code below to extend the Project-Sample app provided with the source and it worked fine

def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False):
    new_task = False
    if not self.id:
        new_task = True
    super(Task, self).save(force_insert, force_update)
    end = self.startDateTime + timedelta(minutes=24*60)
    title = "This is test Task"
    if new_task:
        event = Event(start=self.startDateTime, end=end,title=title,
                  description=self.description)
        event.save()
        rel = EventRelation.objects.create_relation(event, self)
        rel.save()
        try:
            cal = Calendar.objects.get(pk=1)
        except Calendar.DoesNotExist:
            cal = Calendar(name="Community Calendar")
            cal.save()
        cal.events.add(event)
    else:
        event = Event.objects.get_for_object(self)[0]
        event.start = self.startDateTime
        event.end = end
        event.title = title
        event.description = self.description
        event.save()

Still have to search for extending the Click functionality on the Calendar event which currently gives a text box , how to customize that with a hyper link remains to be seen but the code above answers the question and part of the problem
