I was wondering if I could get some advice on a particular setup. From what I've read I'm fairly certain that jEvents will be able to handle what I'm planning. However, there looks like there could be several ways to achieve the end result.
A client of mine has a chain of stores with several outlets. Each of those outlets has a user within Joomla on their site, and can update their own outlet page restricted by the Joomla ACL. They have lots of regular events in the individual outlets, but with the same kind of events. I want each outlet to be able to manage their own events in the admin, but have the ability for visitors to the front end to see a calendar/list of all events at a particular location, OR to be able to filter to a particular type of event (category?) across all locations. So…
Admin:
- A calendar for each location (ie user -- assuming the Joomla ACL will suffice)
Front End:
- Show all events from every user/calendar in a single calendar/list [for a given date range]
- Show a user's events in a single calendar displayed on their page (a single location)
- Filter to show only a specific type (category?) of event (quantity surveying, underwater basket weaving… whatever) from all events in the system, or from a single location
What do you think would be the most logical approach to set this up, and which jEvents plugins/modules should I use?
Cheers
