Suggestions for Events

1 - add Online to country dropdown or make it a checkbox that grays out Country as an option that needs to be selected.  Many of use operate only online events so this should be an option.

2 - Add a cost field.  It should be a text field and it should be required.

3 - Add a Website field so the website for more information (if there is one) doesn't get lost in the description.  This should be optional.

4 - I assume Place Name is actually for the Venue?  If not, what is it for?  If so, it should be changed to Venue because Place Name is way too ambiguous.

5 - City and Place Name/Venue should not be mandatory fields.

6 - Entering a time should be a drop-down or manual entry.  That click thing is just obnoxious.  At the very least, start the clock at 00:00 not the current time.

7 - Events that span multiple days should show on all of the days not just the start day.

8 - There should be an "add to calendar" button so people can add it to their outlook or google calendar.  As much as we hope people will be using our sites for everything it's just not true so we should make it easy to integrate our site into their IRL world.

Thanks!

Thank you for your suggestions, but it is already Dolphin Feature Final Beta, and we are testing existing features and aren't adding new ones.

Smart suggestions ;-)  I added a ticket for Dolphin 7.1... http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1183

Thanks Michel.  I figured it was too late for D7.0 but I'm glad they got on a list for a future version.

PS:  I lived in Geneve for 14 months - love Switzerland! :)

hi all!

hmm, actually i would love to have this features (well i need them actually)  for the event section.

something like:

_at least being able to past a zip code for the event

_and be able to search for it by zip code

(im talking for D7 beta 8)

_if possible the number of availlable attendees would be great too :D

_multiple category fields as well when setting up an event, and being searchable as well on the other side.

and more :D

is there a way to do that?

i already posted this, but maby someone can help me here...

i have not so much space and want to disable the upload for videos,files and sounds at event section.

where can i do it....is there a function for it?

same for me startmusic, i dont need to upload videos and files as well! hope you find it :D

It appears this feature was not completely added into the events system. exporting ical is there but a simple ONE CLICK add to google calendar solution is still needed.

Does anyone know if there is a mod available that does this?

I completely agree about site integhration into IRL world. It is whaat would make the difference to many sites, and the "Add to calendar" button would be a good place to start. 

Hi, I have a problem,I use the Events module, when I create a new event ,users do not see the button "Subscribe" .

This should be in a new topic.
