Session Notes

Ad-hoc session on event-related modules and topics led by ??

Current Event-related modules:

  • Event (does have an API - let's you view a themed calendar with passed list of events) 4.6 works
  • Event finder (requires Event? and Location. has lots of cool stuff, e.g. zip code, metro area, etc.) 4.6 works
  • RSVP
  • SignUp - 4.6 works, used for OSCMS
  • Event Repeat (4.7 release - Chad)
  • Volunteer
  • Event Filter (not yet in CVS, from Owen/UK)
  • Moshe: I added an 'all day events' module to events Contrib. 4.7+ only

Wishes:

  • Pull in event feeds from other sites - iCal import
  • User Calendar
  • Private Events - Flexinode (Aaron)
  • E-Commerce / Event - Signup (4.6 contrib for signup or ecommerce - Chad: signup_ecommerce)
  • Find events by Venue

>>> Much of this has been implemented by GoJoinGo (Angela Byron, it *is* a project checked into CVS, it uses Organic Groups and more)

>>> gsearch module (Ankur, has a lat/long location table, part of GoJoinGo)

Potential Issues:

  • Event Repeat / iCal export
  • Memory usage issue with Event module? related to node system?
  • Themeing

To Do:

  • Install GeoCoder locally
