Surfcamp-Events

This project was developed during the second edition of TYPO3 Surfcamp in Fuerteventura. As a team of 4 developers (Alexander Grübling, Rafal Jania and Niels Langlotz) we got the topic of event management from our mentor Benjamin Franzke. After some market analysis and planning, we decided to build an extensions to feature event creation, event registration and proper timezone handling of the event with innovative frontend views, as we found this as our USP.

So, the plugin enables the creation of two types of events: single and recurring. Each event type can optionally include user registration. In addition to a standard list view, events can also be displayed as a timeline or on a map (if locations are assigned). A custom TYPO3 backend module was developed to make event management simple and intuitive for editors. We also introduced support for proper time zones handling, allowing users to view event dates and times in their local time.

Besides tackling a new problem for 1 week in a small team withou knowing each other, we got the chance to take some surf lessons and getting started in the Typo3 community. Thank you for this create experience! https://typo3.org/
