RSVP for April's events
Hi ,
We had to cancel tomorrow's lunch & learn due to lack of a speaker. Our first lunch & learn will now be on April 20 and we need you to volunteer to speak!
In the meantime, now that daylight has been saved, you can RSVP for our upcoming events:
April 7th's talk
Add a robust events system to your Drupal site in minutes
by Martin Anderson-Clutz
Managing dates and times can be complex: with timezones, daylight savings time, leap years, and even regional formatting differences, there's a lot to manage. On top of all that, the editors on your site are familiar with feature-rich calendar software from the likes of Google, Apple, and Microsoft, and will expect your site to follow their conventions.
This talk will focus on how the use of Smart Date, and its companion module Smart Date Calendar Kit, will give your site a robust events system, quickly and with minimal effort. The provided install includes intuitive, drag-and-drop management of events, and is fully extensible, so you can build on it to meet the specific needs of your site. Even better, adding recurring dates support is only two clicks extra!
We'll start with a stock Drupal 9 install, and you'll see the installation in real time, with a variety of features demoed.
