Zorga Lina commentedupperholme - I think your issue is key insofar as actually integrating the Eventbrite API into Drupal seems only partially done. Issues such as the id values > integer and assigning a default for a text field (which is a problem in MySQL 5) make it difficult to do the install but once installed, if you set up an organizer, and events, you'd want to see the events as well as venues and subusers you set up in the configuration page. No hint as to how to import/set up your Eventbrite event as a CCK field, why not import them upon install? There are many 'to do' comments in the code as well, no telling which ones are meant to be carried out.
I see no one seems to have addressed this issue of documentation so perhaps you just gave up on using the module.

olyerickson commentedIs there a some kind of "Getting Started" guide to the Eventbrite module?
We have it installed, we THINK we have it properly configured --- I have obtained and entered an API and user key, etc --- but we have NO CLUE how to make it do anything. What we EXPECT is to create an event and see some interaction with the Eventbrite mothership.
I've added a field to my "Event" content type (using the Eventbrite default widget, whatever that is!) but don't see anything. What are we supposed to see?
Thanks!

Zorga Lina commentedI am working on porting this to D7 (after fetching a sandbox version from Github, which hadn't progressed very far it seemed!). Documentation is lacking, alright.
To get started you need to register with Eventbrite itself, get hold of an API key and user ID after you register, and then go to admin/settings/eventbrite/api and enter those values. They are used in XML gets/posts to import
event data (organizers, venues, events) into your Drupal Eventbrite instance.
You need to enable OG, and create 2 new content types, a Group, and a group-content type, call it Event. When you go to content types, make that Event node a 'group content type', and *add* the event CCK field to it. In Drupal 7 that will become a Field, as CCK is deprecated.
You can then put those nodes into a view or whatever else you wished to use it for in Drupal.

IamOnStage commentedDocumentation would be very helpful to for users install and use the module.
Are you able to tell me how I could display in Drupal the event listings. No added functionality, just to display event listings and their details with a link to the Eventbrite page to book there. This would be VERY helpful!
Thank you v much

lucienchalom commentedI redo the README file to fit on Drupal README template and added license and usage files that were missing on 6.x version.
Was that the backport needed?
Thank you

dandeleon03 commentedHi @lucienchalom,
I checked your patch and the added license and usage files were the ones missing on 6.x version. For me, that is the correct backport that was needed.
I've attached a screenshot.
This is now good to go.
