Hello Mark,
Thank you and apologies. I thought this was posted under feature requests.
As regards the use of Events, I have canvassed our users and they, without exception, would use such a feature and often.
1.) Professional users need to know, particularly with recurring events, what other think. They will base their decisions on future attendance on this.
2.) Event Organisers often send out follow up emails to request feedback for events they have posted. This would make this requirement redundant.
3.) The Event posting capability of Joomla is negligible. Although there are several event extensions, none of them are integrated into social applications. Ii is obviously a way of keeping your user base and of encouraging them to use your social tools rather than Jomsocial which does provide this capability.
4.) There are numerous other features based on the idea of garnering feedback on events that you could incorporate.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mark
