I am excited to finally have my own contribution to this great product.
What I needed was for the titles of events to always be displayed in a column on the homepage, with a link from each title going to a full description on the actual Events webpage. See it in action here:
http://www.handsonwnc.org/I modified view.php of the events module to make this work. Essentially I am displaying the events page within that column (I call it by its section ID in my site template). I am using a class to "hide" the description unless the body id tag equals "events". (Are most people using a unique body ID for each page? It's so easy to do, and makes some CSS tricks way easier...there's a thread somewhere on it or I can post the code below.)
I also included an anchor tag, setting the anchor value to event_id (which should always be unique) so that when a user clicks the link, they go directly to the right area on the Events page.
So I want to ask if I should post the view.php file in case others want to see how I did it, or if this could be incorporated as an option in the module, or what.
I also suspect that calling the events page by section ID in the template isn't the most graceful way to always include that section...is there a better way?
