Browse Events

[SophieMcGee]

As a local resident, I can browse a list of upcoming events in Donegal so that I can discover new activities and plan my weekends.

• The event listing page should display a list of upcoming events.

• Each event in the list should show key details, including the event name, location, and date.

• Users should be able to click on an event to view more detailed information.

Create event detail model and template page.

[SophieMcGee]

Created a class-based view EventList that lists events, orders them by their creation date, and paginates the results.

• Progress: The event listing page shows a list of upcoming events with key details (name, location, date). Users can click on an event to view more detailed information.
• Issues: None
• Next Steps: Ensure the pagination is working correctly and test the event detail view for different screen sizes.

Issues: None so far, event pagination and filtering options need further testing.

Next Steps:

Implement sorting options (e.g., by date, location) to make browsing easier. Conduct cross-browser testing to ensure consistent layout and behaviour.

Feature: Event Search and Sorting

Implemented Features:

1. Search Bar:

   • Users can now search for events by title or description.
   • The search bar appears at the top of the Browse Events page.

2. Sorting Options:

   • Added a dropdown to sort events by Date, Location, or Title.
   • Sorting helps users browse events more efficiently based on their preferences.

How it Works:

• The search bar and sorting options are placed in a form above the event listing.
• Users can type keywords in the search bar to filter events based on titles and descriptions.
• The dropdown allows users to select how they want to order the events (by date, location, or title).
• A "Submit" button is provided to apply the search and sort options.

Files Updated:

• browse_events.html: Added the search bar and sorting dropdown in the template.
• BrowseEventsView (views.py): Added functionality to filter events based on the search query and sort them by the selected criteria (date, location, or title).

Future Enhancements:

• Implementing more advanced filtering, such as filtering by category or price range.
