hey guys,
just a quick heads up for a tiny change to enhance the usability of the users / groups and events module. (notes below apply in the same way to all of them)
on the admin end:
say you want to show 5 events, the current filtering won't neccessarily do the trick as the admin currently has no way to explicitly tell which one's. therefore I'd suggest to add a field where the admin can simply enter the id's of the event (same for group/user...) in a comma-seperated list. this gives full flexibility with a simple and easy change. everything else in place can remain untouched, it just extends the current one.
on the frontend / for regular users:
in the listing of events (again same for groups/users) there should be the corresponding action button (attend event / joing group / follow user). currently the user would have to visit the event/group/user, then perform the action there and then go back in case he's interested in more of the shown one's - that's a tedious process, we should make it as easy as possible for users to interact. that's it here as well, everything else can remain untouched.
on a sidenote (not a module) the current "suggestions" widget is only suitable for friends. this should be enhanced to also work with followers (generating suggestions based on the people you're following) to fit both usecases. the birthday app was finally adjusted that way in v.20 but suggestions still don't take this into account.
