Where to locate for module?

Posted by CNBarnes on June 26, 2009 at 8:44pm

I have what I think is a fairly straightforward question (and one that I hope has a straight forward answer):

How do I go about finding a module for a specific task I need to accomplish? I have tried searching here, but man I am having a terrible time finding what I'm looking for.

Ok that was general; now I'll be specific

We are migrating my department (at a university) website to Drupal. One of the major functions of our website is a calendaring system. You know - one that will do all the normal functions a calendar should do

* list events in a few different categories
--> allow people to register for those events, then send out email reminders

* reserve rooms (tied to an above event)

* reserve equipment (projectors, etc).

Anyone got suggestions for a good Calendaring module?

Thought your question is not

Thought your question is not that specific I may suggest you to use two modules that surely will achieve some of the tasks you mentioned:

http://drupal.org/project/calendar
http://drupal.org/project/date

in addition you may also take a look to:

http://drupal.org/project/event

Of course as far I have understand from your posting I would suggest you an awsome drupal book that contain all what you need to fullfill your project:

Using Drupal
in my opinion the best and well documented also with installation profiles that go throughout main Drupal Site development and implementation scenario.
