 Multi-day and reoccurring events are both in the future plans and
 depending on how much time I get after my other work may be available
 sooner than later.


I extended Marty's extension to handle multi-day events:

http://github.com/MrGossett/radiant-page-event/tree/master

Marty didn't like the fact that I didn't ask him before do that work, so he
denied my pull request. Oh well.

 help add that in or look for something else.  Email me offlist if you
 want to coordinate efforts.

I think your radiant-page-event extension is the best way to go. It's
the only one that actually has a page associated with an event. The
other two extensions tie into ical calendars, but yours allows for the
creation of an event in the Radiant Admin. That is by far a bigger need
for me. While I am not sure I can give you any real help with modifying
the extension, I will certainly try and I'll be watching it for updates
in the future.


Thanks,

Nate

Tim's mods will give you multi-day support however Tim's design goes
in the opposite direction of how I'll be handling it.   I was not
interested in going down that path and having to migrate existing
events to the new design.  If you don't mind having to migrate the
data yourself (assuming Tim's fork is still up-to-date with mine) that
might be the best stop-gap measure.  Tim, if you had asked first I
would have told you all this before you did the work.

Cheers,
Marty

 I have a client that wants to list the conferences that they will be
 attending on their website. Nothing fancy, just some of the details like
 date, booth #, link to event, etc. What is the best extension to handle
 that? I see that there are four event related extensions on github:

 radiant-event-calendar
 radiant-event-calendar-extension
 radiant-page-event
 ba (probably way overkill for this)

Hi Nate,

As the creator for radiant-page-event, I'm a bit biased but what I
created with that extension could easily do what you want making some
assumptions.   Each page would be a conference, you want to manually
control your own calendar via the admin UI and you don't need to
indicate a multiple day event.  You could then add page parts for each
detail on your event such as booth # and external event link.  There
are two newer convenience tags that I've recently added,  next_event
and upcoming_events.  I when I get more free time I'll be adding some
additional features but the extension is designed to be fairly
lightweight for assigning dates to pages.

The readme should include useful information for getting started.  I
also posted a brief tutorial on my blog that may be a bit outdated:

It looks great but, I do need to list multi-day events. Everything else
looks like it will work. I'll look into this one again if the others
don't do multi-day events. Thanks.

How is the Colorado Ruby scene? The wife and I are considering a move to
CO or the Pacific Northwest in the next couple of years. A quick search
didn't turn up much in the way of web development in CO. Are there many
places working with Ruby?


Thanks,

Nate
