Events Plugin 📆

My community is an aggregation of various urban activism organizations, that commonly hold events at regular intervals. “Every 3rd Wednesday” - “Biweekly on Saturday” etc.

I’ve got a similar community with lots of subcommunities that meet regularly - although a little different as it many are within a larger organisation

This is also why coloured tags and sorting by tag is so necessary for me. Need to let people differentiate events based on their interests quickly. (ex: climate, cycling, housing, transit, etc.)

Would also be great to make certain events only visible to certain trust levels or groups. That would help us accommodate people and events onto our platform that might be worried about security (politics in my city is not fun hehe).

You should already be able to achieve this, using categories (rather than tags) to control the access and silo’ing it as you need. But being able to use tags would increase the flexibility significantly.

I’ll keep rockin with Discourse Events for the time being but I’m excited to try out Pavilion’s when the update is released! All the best,

You can continue to use the Discourse Calendar (and Event) for the ‘front end’ of events, and substitute in the Events Plugin 📆 features as you like. Your real world testing would be very helpful, and we can dig deeper in the Pavilion site:

Discourse Events

(We are looking at federating topics like this one between meta.discourse.org and coop.pavilion.tech soon)
