This makes our jobs MUCH easier :) great news > It looks to me like what Paul has is pretty much what is needed, we'll work on making the tags much more used/visible and as I say, if you let me know which custom tag you want to use then we'll work on getting the event hosts to use it. > > Regards > > Lorna > > > On 7 October 2014 09:34, Paul Dragoonis <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi Lorna/Hannes, >> >> After reviewing your conversation and the questions asked, I have a few suggestions that will help alleviate the hurdles we're about to push through. >> >> 1) We need to differentiate between confs and meetups by having: >> a) A new form field with 2 radio options to choose from "User Group Meetup" or "Conference" >> b) To return this new field in the API responses >> c) An API parameter to filter results by i.e: "?event_type=conference" >> >> 2) For events appearing on php.net by: >> a) Taking the user to the Edit Event after they create their event. >> b) Putting a question on the Edit Event form which is: "Would you like your conference to appear on php.net?" which would appear if(they have a 'php' tag OR the title of their event has 'php' in it).
