Events Plugin 📆

Yeah, probably a biggish task. Let’s try to think it through though. Here are some initial thoughts:

Topics

  1. Event topic is reused (‘evergreen’) and event times update after each instance passes; or

    • Problem: The content / discussion across multiple events may not neatly fit into the normal linear structure of a single topic, making it confusing to follow.

  2. New topic is created for each instance immediately after the recurring event is created.

    • Problem: This may clutter up your events category with topics for events far in the future.

  3. New topic is created for each instance some time(s) after the recurring event is created.

Management

  • If each instance has its own topic:

    • How to you manage the ‘event series’ as a series? A new modal? Where would this modal go?

    • If you delete or close a topic which is an instance in a recurring event series what happens to future events in the series?
