I’ve got a dedicated events category, which now sorts absolutely brilliantly thanks to some great work by the CDCK team over the last year. It can display a calendar too, which is really good.
However, we do have three moderate issues that remain:
-
It is tricky to get a topic list of all (accessible) events in the site
- the Upcoming Events calendar does this, but without a topic list
- I need to tag every event and then surface a tag list to achieve this (I’m sure that is automatable but it is a bit messy)
-
If I have a calendar in my Events category, people get confused by which calendar to use.
- also, it takes up a lot of page real estate, making the topic list difficult to read.
- People constantly ask me why the Site Events and the Site Calendar are on different pages
Suggestion 1
When a calendar is displayed in a Category, it is dismissable / shrinkable
Suggestion 2
That there is a sitewide calendar / topic list (also with a dismissable / shrinkable calendar) that functions the same way
