Probably requiring new CT:

Could we possibly under 'events' have another tab for 'related events', where we will list any events being held by our partners or colleagues, which are of relevance to the CECAN audience but not something we want to be badging as CECAN.

Yes, but I would need you to clarify a bit more the requirements to determine whether we need a new content type or we could re-use the current one.

What kind of information are you expecting to have in this type of events? Exactly the same as in an event?

Title
Body
Start/End Date
Status
Contact

More fields? Less fields?

Depending on these needs, I could either create a new content type with new fields (e.g. related event) or re-use the current one including a new option similar to status (e.g. CECAN or related).

On the other hand, would this tab display all the events? Only those which are forthcoming? Do we need a different tab for "Past external events?

Julia:

Events:

Could you move the text about 'CECAN will be hosting events and workshops etc' from the 'Previous Events' tab and pop it into the 'Forthcoming Events' tab.

Previous Events tab could have introductory text which just says, 'Browse through CECAN's past events'

Could we then also have a third tab 'Related Events' - with an introductory text which says something like 'Check here for regular events and activities being run by CECAN partners and related organisations.'

What I would suggest is that we are able to add third party events to that tab/page, and we leave them open ended, so they dont get archived off into forthcoming or previous, they just continuously sit on the page. How we enter those? Im not sure. Could they be entered as an event content node with the option to select 'related event' and it automatically drops into the related events tab?

Hello Julia,

What I would suggest is that we are able to add third party events to that tab/page, and we leave them open ended, so they dont get archived off into forthcoming or previous, they just continuously sit on the page. How we enter those? Im not sure. Could they be entered as an event content node with the option to select 'related event' and it automatically drops into the related events tab?

I have implemented it as part of the same content type, but with a new extra field to determine whether this is a CECAN event or not (checked by default - see attachment).

I created also some testing contents and updated the texts:

http://drozas.com/events
http://drozas.com/events/previous
http://drozas.com/events/related

In sum, 1) and 2) remain as they were, and those events which are not checked as "CECAN ones" are displayed in 3) in descending order by start date (no matter what their status is).
