- Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted to set up and configure a robust events system in your Drupal website, in just a few seconds? There’s a recipe for that.
- Module name/project name:
- Brief history
- How old: originally created in Mar 2013 as a distribution, but reborn as a recipe in July 2024
- Versions available: 1.0.0-alpha3, compatible with Drupal 10.3 and 11
- Maintainership
- Actively maintained
- Security coverage? - no stable release
- Documentation in the works
- Number of open issues: 1 open issue, which is a bug
- Usage stats: not tracked for recipes
- Maintainer(s): mandclu
- Module features and usage
- Listeners probably won’t be surprised to hear that Smart Date is at the heart of what you’ll get when you apply the Events recipe
- You will have an Event content type, and a view to list upcoming and past events
- The recipe will also set up add-to-calendar links on your event page, making it easy for your site visitors to be reminded of when your event will take place
- There are companion recipes to add a calendar view, to be able to associate locations (with maps), and to add event registration
- A modified version of the Events recipe has already been integrated into Drupal CMS, so it will be even easier to apply for a site based on that
- Internally it makes use of the createIfNotExists and setComponents config actions, which is why I thought it would be relevant to today’s discussion
