I really would like to move my meetup group to my own Drupal site, since Meetup.com does not give me enough felxibility. But at the same time I do not want to completely abandon Meetup.com

Is there a module in the works that would allow for integration of Meetup.com meetups into Drupal?

Thanks!

We at DBUG (Denver/Boulder User Group) are making plans to tie into this API (amongst others). It should be a very advantageous thing for the Drupal community as a whole as we see it.

I'm currently working on code to extract events from the Meetup API system.

I would be very interested in seeing a Meetup API Module used in Drupal. If no one will build one, I will!

Stay tuned...

This is exactly what I'm looking for! I have a separate site built in Drupal viewable to the public, and my private meetup group (events, photos, forum) is locked up in meetup.com.

I've been searching around trying to find how I can either:
a) integrate the meetup.com group into the Drupal site using their API
b) move the group to a different host (big tent, etc) to achieve the above
c) create my own events and membership using modules

Still at square one :(

just checking up on this thread. If not, is there a different meetup-type of module available on Drupal?

I'm also interested in this functionality. In any case, I'll probably wind up rolling some of my own. I'll try to make it generic enough to share...we'll see. Probably won't be for another month or two, as I have a couple things to finish first.

I just searched for this again and found my own post...finally revamped my own site so I'm going to look into this again - probably very rudimentarily, but I'll see where it goes.

Hey, just updating this thread since I find it every time I search. I actually did start writing a PHP client for the Meetup API and plan to release it on GitHub soon. Then I'm going to start work on a Drupal integration module.

Not sure if there is much interest out there still...but for what it's worth, look out for meetup_api soon on drupal.org! Maybe meetup too with some blocks or Calendar integration or something...who knows. First priority is obviously an API.

Yeah, I'm definitely still interested in this =)

That's great to hear, because after my original comment 6 months and 9 days ago, I have finally *drum roll* released a Meetup API module! It takes advantage of the PHP Meetup API Client I wrote, and honestly I wrote it knowing I'd create this module.

Hope you enjoy. I am also open to suggestions as to what an actual Meetup module could feature, but I have no idea where to start. Anyone can hit me up via my contact form for now if you have suggestions. And maybe the Meetup project won't be too far off.
