Hey there,
as I am planning to create a new Eventsite which features publishing/sharing event data, some location guide and the according search options (search by time/region/proximity etc) and I am still quite new to Drupal, I'd like to collect some input on the currently best ways to do.
What I understood so far:
- Prefer use of Date/Calendar module instead of Event module due to better CCK/Views integration and higher flexibility
- Use Location module for the venue date (together with gmap module) instead of Addresses and co
- and of course pictures with ImageField, user reg with core on so on...
Are there any better ways with the current stage of development?
Thanks in advance for some answers

Other possible modules
I use the modules you are suggesting and I think you are in the right track.
In case you do not know it, it could be interesting for you to check the scheduler module:
http://drupal.org/project/scheduler.
It allows you to add publish and unpublish on specific dates: quite good if you want to remove past events.
Another interesting module is Timeline, very useful if you have "historical data"
Best Practice?
Hi all,
if you've set it up alrady it would be nice to share as I'm trying to set up the same but have some problems. For example how could I set the relationship between the location and the date entry? I want to create a location only once of course and then add several events to it. How could I then display the events right below the location?
Same problem as K32
How you make a connection between events and location when you have more events in the same location
