Hello everyone,
I have a requirement for the event module :
To be able to do "mass input", e.g. enter the data for f.i. 15 events at once, instead of one by one.
Do you know of any module that has such mass input already built in ?
Is it easy to build such mass input form for Drupal ?
Suppose I would customize event.module for this, do you have any tips for making this change ?
Best regards,
Eric Veltman

Mass input from where
What would the source of the data be? Would anyone be able to do this or only the site administrator (I would use a different approach depending on the answer).
I am asking because I am currently playing around with the event module and can probably suggest an approach based on your answers.

Anyone with permissions to create event nodes would be able to use the mass input form.

Such suggestions should be made feature requests. I nearly missed it. I have a similar need and will write a mass uploader that uses an Excel sheet to collect the data and then save it as unicode text which can be uploaded and will be parsed..

Doesn't the node_import module already do something similar ?
I would prefer being able to do everything through the web interface, without an external tool like a spreadsheet, because with an import function, the user needs more instruction and it's less "ergonomic".
Typing long html formatted texts in a spreadsheet doesn't work too well either.
Do you mean "recurring events"?
Are you looking for recurring events? For instance, scheduling a meeting to appear every Monday at the same time for the next 15 weeks?

No, I don't need recurring events. Only a way to enter multiple events at once, via the web interface. So instead of :
* 'Create content'
* 'Event'
* Enter the data for a single event
* Post
* Back to step 1
I'd like something like :
* 'Create content'
* 'Event'
* 'Mass input'
* Enter the data for 15 events ( 15 rows, each with the fields for 1 event )
* Post
* Back to step 1, if there are more than 15 events to enter
