Event Management Systems

I am looking for the most recommended calendar module for drupal 6. This is for a non-profit that wants to display a master events calendar for the community. Have several users be able to update with events and everyone else just to view.

I have downloaded and tried a few, nothing really seems that good.

Looking for your input.

Thanks so much,

-JP

I`m trying to make a calendar block with clickable dates. this is for a guest house to make reservations.Clicking on date would take to /node/add/my_event/2009-06-05 or /node/add/my_event/?date=05-05-2009 or similar. I want to pass the date as argument to "create content" form. any guest has access to create this type of node, but the default state is "unpublished" so that only administrator can approve (publish) the node. after that the created event would appear in calendar block and have CSS "has-event" definition (e.g. red color).

Hey all,

I've seen a few services on the web that offer a widget or plugin to a web site to automatically populate the show times for a particular area. Fandango, to mention one.

The newspaper site I'm building needs to have film listings available on it, and currently, all we are doing is copying and pasting the show times from our paper into our CMS (non-Drupal as of now), and we need to update those same files each week for the films coming up. Ya, not a classy way to show events.

I'm trying to get some feed back from the community so that we can develop a solid event registration system for churches. What are your event registration needs? Below is a brain dump of specifications that I have come up with. Comments? Suggestions? Other requirements? Do you want to highlight the most important/least important things from the list for your church?

Hello all,

I'm using the RSVP module for a website I'm developing and I have a question regarding its use. It's Drupal 6.

I'm looking to have other users RSVP for my events (created using the Date & Calendar modules) without actually having to send out the invitations. Kind of like what the Signup module does.

Is there a way to do this with the RSVP module that I'm unaware of? It seems to me like you have to send out the invites first and then the only people who can do the RSVP are the invitees. But I want EVERYONE to be able to RSVP if they want without needing an invite.

After a successful fundraising effort and a lot of hard work, I'm pleased to announce that the Signup module has made some major leaps forward in the recent past:

• Supports CCK date fields for reminder emails and auto-close functionality (#86462). You can have both event and date enabled on the same site. For CCK date node types, you select which date field you want to use for signup functionality when configuring the node type.
• Ported to Drupal 6, Views2, etc. The 6.x-1.0-rc1 release candidate is now out.

There are a ton of other improvements too numerous to list here. For details, check out the 5.x-2.6 and 5.x-2.5 release notes.

You are invited to attend Drupal Camp Chicago on October Friday 24 & Saturday 25 2008.

What:

Please bear with me guys and I hope I am in the right place.
I am using the event module in conjunction with third party modules (uc_event) and Ubercart to build an event reservation site.
This combination works fine. My users can Pay for my events.
Now my problem:
Lets say I have an event called '10 Day Maasai Mara'. This event is actually a travel package.
This particular 'event' is available all year long but for only 10 days at a time.
Currently, I have it set up that users viewing the event can click on a 'book this event' button and are immediately taken to Ubercart.

My appologises if this has already been discussed but I was wondering if there is a patch (or otherwise) which allows the signup schedule module to more exactly specify the opening and closing time than just midnight on the said day. And if there isn't I was hoping someone would be willing to create said patch as I think it would be very useful for event signups to give more control over the signup period.
