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.
Cultural and leisure events in Seville - www.youthing.org
Hi.
I'd like to present a local events guide done with Drupal.
At this moment it has 4 main pages , in order to make it VERY simple for the visitors: 1.- (what's on) today, 2.- tomorrow and 3.- after tomorrow and 4.- a 4th page for exhibitions (because they usually last a longer period). Home page is a selection of the events for today and the following 2 days.
Each event is a node, and so is each venue . That's the deepest you can browse in the site. Events to happen over a 3 days time don't show as a link and are locked by a simple PHP query within the node template. You can check 'this feature' by clicking here if browsing before June'2008.

Date / Calendar Improvements
Added to official ideas list at http://drupal.org/node/237995
There are a ton of date/calendar improvements that I'd like to see. The problem is that I don't have time right now to stop and create a specific proposal. I'm hoping that we have others (students or not) who have some specific ideas on date/calendar projects that would make sense.

New Attendees tab on event nodes
I just added an Attendees tab to all event nodes on this groups.drupal.org site. This lists all users who have signed up for an event. Signup happens by clicking on a one of the node links that reads 'i am not attending'. I'd love someone to create two graphics which will sit at the bottom of event node views which encourage users to attend or unattend an event. The current link is a little too subtle.

Create events from calendar
Hi,
I'm using a combination of views, panels, events and calendar to run a booking thingy on an intranet I'm developing for a local church - the only thing I need is a way for people to book their room from the calendar view by clicking an icon on the desired date. (hour slots would be better, but that's way beyond my current coding capabilities)
Now, I found this ancient patch: http://drupal.org/node/6922 but I can't figure out how to adapt it to the current event module.
Anybody have any ideas? (Hope it's ok to ask in this group?)
Read moreFiltering dates for a 'period of time' view
Hi,
I'm using views.module (altogether with some other modules) to run an events site for my town. I'm trying to get some views from the events nodes (CCK content type) but I don't have a clue how to filter them properly.
signup.module should support cck dates: groups.drupal.org help wanted
Now that groups.drupal.org is using date.module for its events, we really need someone to help signup module understand this date format. Please read this issue and consider writing the patch.

Type based distinction for events, location information
Currently, our event listing is a flowing river of information and it is quite hard to distinguish between different types of events. I proposed that we add an event type vocabulary, which allows events to be tagged as being of specific type. Let's collect the list we are interested in having for events:
- User group meeting
- Regional conference
- International conference
- Virtual meeting (IRC meetings, Drupal dojo)
- Training
Long story, lots of questions...
Hi,
I'm looking for altenatives how to implement following functionality to Drupal. Ps. I'm eager to try and test different possibilities, but would really appriciate and need a push towards the right direction.
Ps. The implementation is my personal project. I've just started with Drupal a month ago and dispite the long nights and lots of reading the full picture is still quite a mess to me. The message is long, hope you have time to read it through.

Display RSVP form with Event
Hi all,
I'm rather new to Drupal, and I am trying to figure out how to display an RSVP accept/decline form on the event details page. Does this feature exist within the RSVP module itself, or is there a way to create a block containing this form?

CCK Date Field
Hello Drupal Community - I just discovered this Event group and thought I'd share a Event issue we've run into with trying to update a CCK date field using the node.save for the event node. The original post can be found at the link below with the node.load info so you can see the overall structure of our event node stdClass Object.

Read morePort event_views module to event 5.2
Hi there,
I need some help to update the event_views module to the rewritten version of the event module aka "event 5.2". I am not too familiar with views.
The main change is the change of storage format for dates. All previous versions of event used "seconds since 1970" as storage mode, 5.2 uses actual SQL dates.
Please let met know if you are interested in helping out, I'd hate to release event 5.2 without views support.
Cheers,
Gerhard
help fixing old event ical bug
Hi there,
I need help with fixing this old ical related bug:
I am personally not too familiar with iCal and on Linux iCal isn't particularly well supported...
Could anybody runs some tests on event 5.1 and 5.2?
Cheers,
Gerhard
signup.module TODO list
There used to be a TODO.txt file in the signup module's source tree, but this caused confusion, and was a pain to maintain. Whenever something was fixed in a newer version, the copy of this file in the older branches was out of date, older official releases are stuck with stale data, etc. A level of indirection to the rescue! ;) I'm putting the (updated) contents in a wiki here, and I'll just point to this node whenever I want to refer to the TODO list.
Read morePHP 5 Date Handling and the Date API
I want to make a 2.0 version of the Date module into a real date api (it will still include a contrib folder with the CCK date field, but it is really intended to be an API). The current module is messy and inefficient and not optimized at all, it was originally designed to do one thing and has evolved into something completely different. On top of that, it makes no use at all of the new PHP 5 date handling capabilities. So it needs a real overhaul.
Read moreBeware gmmktime()
I was doing some research on the 2,357th report of a timezone error in date or calendar or event, one of those errors that not everyone can reproduce, and found some very interesting info about gmmktime() -- a function that is used extensively in all these modules.
The launchpad was this issue: http://drupal.org/node/147392. Here dgtlmoon was proposing to change some code from:
<?php
$now = (time() - date("Z"));
?>to:
<?php
$now = (gmmktime()) ;

Event vs Date+Calendar
Since the Date+Calendar session at OS-CMS there has been a lot of speculation about the future of the event module. I'm fairly vested in the Event module and have plans to become even more invested in it. I like to discuss the evolution of "Date+Calendar" CCK type vs. the use of the Event module. Personally I love the event module and would love to see it progress.
So my questions are:
Where is the Event module going and where would people like to see it go?
Date+Calendar (CCK) is this an eventual replacement for the event module?
Views Calendar Update
There was lots of good discussion in the DrupalCon presentation on Date + Calendar. Based on Earl's suggestion to make sure the Calendar arguments will work with any view and requests from the audience to be able to combine calendar and traditional views in the page and block, I've reworked the argument handling to make the Calendar arguments work independently of the calendar theme. So in the latest commit to the 5.x and HEAD versions, you can now add calendar arguments to any view (list, table, teasers, etc) and get date-based back/next navigation just like the calendar view has.
Read moreIdea about signup/reply data for nodes and CCK fields + Views
I maintain the signup.module. This module has long struggled with the problem of how to flexibly define what fields are requested and/or required when a user signs up for something. I might have a slick solution, but I'm not sure if CCK can accomplish what I have in mind.
With 5.x CCK, you can assign any fields you want in whatever groups you need to any node type. My module could allow site admins to define the signup/reply form for any given node type as a specific group of arbitrary CCK fields. This field group would not show up on the node edit form. It would be displayed on the node view page itself, so each user could fill-in, submit, and optionally edit their own signup/reply. All fields would automatically be treated as "multiples" in terms of storage, 1 set of each field's values per user who replies, but displayed as single values for any given user viewing the node. When a user replies, the values of any fields in their reply would have to be associated with their identity (uid for auth users, email for anon).

Fixing timezones in Drupal / Date
This is the infamous "off by one error" that we see from daylight savings time, etc. I sat down and discussed this with KarenS and also briefly mentioned it to Dries about a good candidate for Drupal 6. Unfortunately, didn't have enough time to get it in as a Google Summer of Code project.
I'm going to try and explain this -- KarenS, please correct me if I'm wrong.
