I promised to post this from suggestion for one of our customers, so here goes :
We have launched a calendar for the organization at gladsaxe.dk/calendar, based on the Event calendar module but it has not been a success
A lot of things don’t work optimal when you have a size of a site as we have with a lot of activities. Therefore we have a few change requests for later releases.
1) The view of content/event on pages should be based on the activity, not only in a category as it is now where you can choose to view e.g. category a, b, c. Instead we need the view to be based on the activity as we have activities which could be showed on several pages.
The problem is that if the activity is viewed, you have to view the whole category, and this will give you some inappropriate or wrong views including other activities in the category which you don’t want to be shown there.
We suggest all activities to be listed separately and then linked to the various categories. When you create an activity it must be possible to pick the appropriate categories where you want the activity to be viewed.
Same procedure for the News module
2) It would be appropriate to be able to use ”copy” and ”move” of activities, same as if you “copy” or “move” sections…a small icon next to the title or name. Simple functionality which shouldn’t cause much trouble to implement
3) Also we need to be able to view an event or activities several times, kind of repeat functionality, e.g. stop smoking campaigns etc. As it is now we have to create the item over and over again, you can’t even copy a former item. Again, it would be appropriate to be able to choose several or more periods for the item to be published (repetitions)
Some of the above might be part of the latest release….I’m not sure
