Sitewide events calendar #26

Open boonebgorges opened 9 years ago

boonebgorges commented 9 years ago

Let's create a sitewide events calendar page. It should appear, I guess, at example.com/events/ (and thus would take over the post type archive?). It will not have the dynamic filters, but it should have some mechanism for discovery, like a tag autocomplete/browser. @r-a-y do you think you might have a chance for a first pass at this?

By default, EO already provides a sitewide events calendar at example.com/events/.

Update: Need to create a page with the [eo_fullcalendar] shortcode for the calendar to show up.

Can you elaborate on the following?

Was just opening this page to ask you about this :)

I guess the basic idea is that, at least for CAC, the sitewide calendar is meant to be a discovery tool (as opposed to group- or user-specific calendars, which are more like organization tools). So the gang has requested search and/or taxonomy browsing of some sort on the sitewide calendar. Something like a tag cloud, except that people have specifically requested not to have a tag cloud ;)
