events

For the Brown University Featured Events website, I needed to develop a means to use their events for other purposes around the Brown.edu websites. I ultimately created a basic way of exporting iCal, RSS and HTML of a selected span of events.

The event distribution website for Brown University is has been live for awhile now. Although it looks rather simple, the back end is quite robust (plus since it's summer, there are no events. I posted this a little too late, oops!).

As most Drupalers have realized, iCal support for Drupal is in its infancy. The first successful implementation of it was only realized at the beginning of 2007 in the calendar module. It still has a lot of limitations - there are issues with time zones, and a complete lack of customization that CCK offers.
