Event Management
Hi
I have an Existing drupal site for which I need to create an easy-to-use event / appearances / happening listing system. The system must have these features;
1. It must be list view (the newest event at the top) by default but with the option to see the whole month in calendar form.
2. Reminder system. Visitor can input email address to be reminded of the event.
3. RSVP form for each event. Visitor fills in form to make reservation.
4. Integrated Map. Visitor can fill in address they will be traveling from to see how to get to event.
5. Reviews. We would like to add comments to the event after the event has happened, describing how successful the event was, etc. Users can also add their own comments / reviews.
6. Event photos. We want to add photos of the event after it happened. Users can upload own photos, too.
Now I am using "EVENT" module to get the above features, the problem is-this module only could give me S.No 1 (above ) functionality, how do I get other functionality 2-6 ?
Should I develop the "EVENT" module or there is other ways of accomplishing the same above easily by say installing other modules or something ???
I need your help as i am really confused how I should go about as I am still a beginner in drupal.
Thank you
Regards
Kumar

1) personally I'd build my own content type called events (with cck.module date.module and calendar.module)
2) not sure, maybe the simplenews.module, or possibly put something together with actions, triggers and/or rules.module
3) rsvp.module
4) I'd use locations.module and the gmap.module for
5) enable the comment.module on the events content type created in 1) maybe with fivestar.module and votingapi.module so that users could vote
6) imagefield.module will allow you to attach images to the event content types created in 1)
Other modules to consider, views.module for building lists in pages or blocks for "upcoming" events, "past events" so on so forth.
The only other note I'd add, is I'd use Drupal 6.x to build this and not Drupal 5.x which is at the end of it's life span.
Modules can be integrated ?
Hi,
Thank you for the reply. But all the modules you have suggested can be integrated, i.e. modules can be interlinked with each other so they work coherently.
Thank you

Yes, modules can work
Yes, modules can work together, it's one of the beauties of Drupal.
Great reply!
Great reply with a good set of modules listed.
I'd like to know how to add one thing into the mix and that is event registration. In Drupal 5 this is handled by the Event Manager module, but there's no sign of that for Drupal 6.
Any suggestions?
