Small site with calender function?

By emil-1 on 28 Mar 2005 at 15:30 UTC

Hi, I have been told to design a website for my parents summer cottage. They own a part of a summer cottage and the group wish to have a website. It should mainly be used to display a calender, where the various people involved can see, who is inthe house in what period of time. It would also be neat, if each family could have a way to upload picture and descriptions from time spent in the house.

Will Drupal do the job with out too much code editing? I'm sure the picture/blog thing is doable, but whatabout the calender thingy?

Thanks a lot.

Calendering is done with the event module. Images are doable as well. Based on your criterea, I would suggest you start with Drupal 4.6rc. The new event module is almost ready and the image module for 4.6 is definitly the way to go. Both are different enough from the 4.5 series modules that it is worth it.

4.6 image module http://drupal.org/files/projects/image-cvs.tar.gz
You'll need to keep an eye here: http://drupal.org/project/releases/4.6 for when the new event module is ready.

Drupal 4.6RC http://www.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-cvs.tar.gz

Thanks for you quick reply.
I'll see if I can get 4.6RC to work and keep an eye out on the event module. Any idea when it'll be ready? Are we looking at 5 days or 5 weeks?

Again, I really appreciate the help.

:) Well, things are done when they are done. But guess April for enough done for what you need. You can search through the drupal-devel mail archives for posts on the new events module and that should give you a link. I would post it, but crunchywelsh is still working on it , needs some more docs and you should play with core a little before you jump into that.

If you play with core and find it in a search, then you will start getting some understanding of how Drupal works along the way.
