Support for multiple event calendars / event channels #54

Open andybroomfield opened 2 years ago

andybroomfield commented 2 years ago

Ref : https://github.com/localgovdrupal/localgov_directories/issues/166

BHCC have established event channels, simmilar to directories, for grouping events.

Its a fairly common request at BHCC, eg. To be able to have events releated to a particular festival. Is this a likley need elsewhere? We're going to add them as an EVA view if we can't reverse engineer the same method as directories.

(There is category as a filter which could serve this purpose, but there is a general push to segregate events on different calendars where possible at BHCC).

We're going to add them as an EVA view if we can't reverse engineer the same method as directories.

Note that EVA has a bug which makes pages uncacheable (or worse, pollutes the cache, I don't remember which).

We went with the same solutiuon as directories for now, allbeit still being a seperate content type, so its a bit of a mess still. I'd still like to switch to EVA at some point for a lot of this as its simpler to maintain.

@joachim-n Is this the issue? https://www.drupal.org/project/eva/issues/3193300

Yup, that's the one.

I'd suggest computed fields rather than EVA. I prefer if the thing that's being output on nodes is placed there explicitly, rather than coming from somewhere mysterious.
