Don't forget this when developing events for EasySocial!

I originally posted this over at the Jreviews forum, but Alejandro's response (Jreviews developer) makes me think that this will work with other extensions, such as K2, Mossets Tree, Sobi and as Alejandro said, regular Joomla articles. Of course, I'll be using Jreviews, as it is fantastic

Here's what I posted on the Jreviews forum:

This is an unusual request in that the feature hasn't been released yet!

However, those excellent guys are about to develop an events module (see link below). I have no idea how it will work, but events is going to be a big part of my site and as I am using EasySocial, it is likely that I will use their events system too (like Alejandro and Kristian, I trust these guys to deliver the goods).

They are due to deliver version 1.3.0 with events functionality next month. I imagine an ideal scenario where events can be created in EasySocial, but linked to venues creating in Jreviews. People viewing a venue listing on Jreviews would be able to view "Upcoming Events", which would be EasySocial events.

Users will be able to see "Who's coming" and "Book this event" etc right from the Jreviews listing!

What do you think guys?

EasySocial is making inroads and this could be another reason EasySocial users get interested in Jreveiws!!!

And here is Alejandro's response:

All of this can probably be done in ES without the need for us to do anything.

1. A related Joomla article field in events that lets you find or choose a Joomla article with the venue info.

2. An event module with some auto-detect capability that will know the current page is an article page and will find any events for that article (venue) and display them.

It wouldn't even require the use of JReviews, since listings are Joomla articles.

He added:

If not a module, 2) could also be a content plugin.

Please would you guys look into doing this? It seems a small amount of work on this would be the perfect integration between two of Joomla's best extension companies. Plus it will work with regular Joomla articles too.
