Event Management Systems

Welcome to the Drupal events working group. This group is for discussion of modules and code related to events, calenders, timezones, and related issues. This is NOT a group for posting about (real or virtual) meetups and similar "events".

Folks interested in this group may also be interested in the Conference Organizing Distribution group, an installation profile for conferences built in Drupal.

When should session submission close? (or any other call for submissions)

Drupalcon Munich has a great graph that shows the dates when people submit sessions. Unfortunately (for event organizaers) a lot of it happens at the last minute.

This is a problem for session track chairs because they don't know if they'll have enough good sessions.

Please Help: no calendar events for anonymous, getting crazy with this

Hi

I'm trying to fix this, read dozens of posts and no luck so far.
I want my anonymous users to be able to see upcoming events.
Using Drupal 6.15 + Views + CCK for event type + calendar module.

Everything is perfect if user is authenticated. Anonymous users just see an empty calendar.

Checked permissions and gave anonymous Access Contents inside Node section. Some posts reported this as a possible solution. No luck.

Changed the view and changed Access to "Multiple Accounts" and included Anonymous. Nothing.

Calendar of Events Recipe for Drupal 6 that really works

A workable "Calendar of Events" for Drupal can be a baffling ordeal to try and get working and usable. Even trying to get a recipe to work can involve hours of wading through patches and comments to get something usable. In an earnest effort to try and reduce the madness, here is a recipe that works very well for our latest project for a client, and includes fixes we developed ourselves.

Event with minimum registrations required...

I'd like to start a discussion here regarding some functionality that I am looking for in a Drupal/Ubercart Registration system. The Ubercart registration is not absolutely required, but may allow for easier management of the backend.

I'd like to be able to create events that people can register for, but before the registration is finalized the event must reach a certain threshold of registrants. With that I'd like for the credit cards to be held and batch processed once the threshold is met, and any registrations from then on are run immediately upon checkout.

New module - Date Tweaks - to enhance the Date Widget

I've submitted a new module, Date Tweaks, that enhances the Date Module to provide the following functionality
* Adds in Baron Schwartz's date-time javascript functionality
* Maintains the date's duration - so when the start date changes, the end date also changes
* Adds in Willington Vega's dropdown time picker. By default, this timepicker replaces the standard timepicker

Code name Meepal installation profile - Planning

This is a community-accessible wiki for the discussion going on at the Custom Meetup Alternative Developers group. This group requires signing up for Meetup.com and joining it to see the threads.

Current phase: Planning

Reference sites

http://bostonphp.org/site/

Not sure if they are using the Meetup API or not - it seems out of sync with their actual group - but the design is kind of interesting - very similar to Meetup.com.

Meetup module roadmap

Contribute your ideas for a Meetup module in Drupal in the Meetup.com integration module discussion. This page will collate and organize the ideas in which the community seems to be most interested. Over time, it will also break them into rough releases and prioritize them.

Meetup.com integration module - help shape it - round 1

Hi all,

This is probably the first post on g.d.o I've actually started! I saw a lot of people using it to collect and organize module-related ideas and figured I would too. So here's the deal.

Best practices for event registration?

I am converting a WordPress site to Drupal and we currently have an event registration form where you can signup / RSVP for an event. Anyone can go to the form and signup, you don't need to get invited or register on the site. I have looked at the Drupal Signup and CCK Signup modules but neither seems to do exactly what I need. With Signup, it seemed difficult to add custom fields and with CCK Signup, there was some question as to whether or not anonymous users could signup but documentation is lacking for the latter.

Voting on sessions

I'm tabulating some data from previous conferences to see which system of voting is the best (if any!) and how voting systems were used. This is in part a response to some feedback on our post about the Drupalcon Chicago site and COD where a commenter noted that they dislike a flag style voting.

simplified event repeat for g.d.o

Meetup.com will do "event repeats" for people which is a great feature. The way the do it is that

  1. you opt into it and set the schedule on the original event
  2. right after that event passes they make a copy of that event and put it in the future based on your schedule

This is really simple, avoids a lot of the complexities of the current event repeat tool creating tons of events into the future, and it sends notifications in a more timely manner than the current event repeat tool might.

Anyone know of something like this?

COD BOF (Conference Organizing Distribution)

COD stands for Conference Organizing Distribution and the goal of the project is to facilitate coordination of and participation in conferences via the conference website. COD can improve the efficiency of setting up a powerful website for both Drupal and non-Drupal conferences and events and provide value to non-developers and developers alike.

Let's get together to discuss COD and potentially work on some patches!
See the COD Roadmap.
