I'm currently building a site for a client at the following address:

http://www.houstonldssingles.org

I have almost completed the site, and it is already being used, but there is one aspect that I need to add that I just don't have the time to put together. The site is basically a place to post events for a church group, and people can sign up on the site to receive reminders of upcoming events. I've installed the Messaging/Notifications framework, and specifically allow people to subscribe to Taxonomy terms and get notifications when events are created or edited and are tagged with those terms.

The problem is, I don't want users to receive notifications right away, but rather a weekly email that has all of the events listed that are happening in the upcoming week (tagged with terms they subscribe to). This way, an admin could post an event that happens a few months from now, and users will be notified of it the week before. Events are created with CCK, using the Date and Calendar modules. Everything is basically up to date, Drupal 6. I don't mind if this requires a new module or a modification to an old module (like the Taxonomy subscriptions submodule of the Notifications module, which I'm using for subscriptions). It doesn't matter to me, as long as it works. And whoever develops this is welcome to contribute it back to the community.

Here is what I can pay, based on three possible scenarios:

  • $100 - If you can give me instructions on how to do this without any development, just by configuring my current modules or installing one or two more. I don't want to redo the framework, so the solution needs to be based on CCK/Views and the Messaging/Notifications framework.
  • $150 - If you develop it and it fulfills the above requirements.
  • $200 - If you develop it and it fulfills the above requirements, and you do it within a week.

If you can for sure do this project, but require more payment, let me know as well, however I will probably wait and see if anyone can do it for the above pricing. If this project works out well, I will probably have other, larger, higher paying jobs for you in the future. Please contact me using the contact tab or at chrishathaway (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thanks,
Chris

Just to clarify, the module would only deal with the aggregating and timing of email notifications. No work needs to be done to configure or format the emails, or to do any front end work on the site.

You could use Notify by views for this; You'd simply create a view that lists all events which occur in the coming week.

However, the module only exists for D5 right now, and it's scalability is questionable because it depends on notify.

notifications_views is included with the latest notifications 2.0-BETA1, released just a few days ago.

Awesome :) I was just looking for this feature as well.

The original request was for a module that has little to do with notifications views but is related to event content types and notifications in that users are notified of upcoming calendar events on a regular basis.

Anyway this module will be contributed to http://drupal.org/project/notifications_extra before too long.
