GCal Events or Agenda module? #115

Open Graham-72 opened 9 years ago

Graham-72 commented 9 years ago

I need a module that will display, as a block, a list of upcoming events. Drupal has two (or more) contributed modules that would apparently do this, and I am wondering whether anyone has a view on which might be better?

I have gone ahead and ported 'Agenda' and that seems to be working OK in Backdrop. See https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/agenda

I will now have a quick look at GCal Events.

Thanx @Graham-72 for the port. Couldn't you achieve the same using views? ...or is this about pulling events from google calendar?

Also, this is the second (at least) time I see you forget/miss to add a description and website for a repo of a contrib module you port:

backdrop-contrib_repo-description_and_website_empty

I went ahead and did that for you (again):

backdrop-contrib_repo-description_and_website

Hope it's ok :wink:

Thanks @klonos for correcting my omission. I am sorry to have put you to this trouble and I promise to try and do better!

Yes, this is about pulling events from Google Calendar. What would be really nice perhaps would be to import each one as an entity in Backdrop, then use Views to create listings, tables etc

@klonos I now realise that there are two more repos I have very recently transferred to backdrop-contrib without filling in the description field, and now they are there I cannot see a way of correcting this myself.

They are (with my suggestion for short descriptions): GCal - Provides APIs for managing Google calendars. GAuth - Allows for authentication with Google enabling use of Google APIs

Your assistance once again will be much appreciated. Thanks.

No, no. Perhaps because English is not my main language (plus sleep deprivation plays a part), sometimes I get the wrong message across. I simply wanted to point a "flaw" in your workflow of creating contrib module repos that I noticed you were being consistent with.

Exactly what I had in mind.

Perhaps a permission issue with the contrib authors group? @quicksketch??

Done! I've added only the descriptions. Once they get official releases and hence also a valid bacdropcms.org URL, just ping me and I'll add those too.

I'm positively sure that the fact that I belong to the contrib "Owners" team is what allows me to edit these details of the repos post-creation: https://github.com/orgs/backdrop-contrib/teams
