[Page] Events, when no upcoming events

[megamos]

Currently there is no text/info at all when there is no upcoming event.
Lets add something. Like info about things that occur regularly, such as codhubs.

Or maybe a whole new section on the events page about our CodeHubs?
(Everybody doesn't use facebook.)

[jherrlin]

Maybe we should try to get these events from FB, would that be possible?

[ritzelpaket]

Yes. I'll write a script for the job. Should be included in Django as a schedules job.

How must the data be prepared? JSON? How will the data be stored in Django?

I think we could use http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/django/first-steps-with-django.html for this. We have a model for events here https://github.com/Kodkollektivet/kodkollektivet.se/blob/master/kodkollektivet/kodkollektivet/models.py#L38 , guess it would make sense to use that. Or what do you think?

@ritzelpaket is the script in Python?

[ritzelpaket]

The script will be written in Python. I will write the script and fetch some data. Then I will have a look if it fits the model. Maybe we need to add some fields to the model, if it is not too much work.

[jhe10709]

Modifying the model is no problem and easy to do! I think it can be really easy to save it to the DB if you have a json object with key names that representing the model.

@ritzelpaket hows it going with this? should we make some effort together?

[ritzelpaket]

Yes! Did you come forward with your guile implementation? Or should we finally write it in python? I will try to fix the fb dev account this week.

[jhe10709]

At the moment I am working on a Guile implementation but its not done, wanna help out on that or should we go for a Python implementation? I got some help from my colleagues with Facebooks Graph API.

[ritzelpaket]

The python script to fetch caldav events is working now. We can successfully build event objects in JSON now. How and were should we store them then?

[ritzelpaket]

I really like this calendar library: https://fullcalendar.io/. Could be used to display events on the desktop version. I think mobile should be a different library, because I think it is not responsive. Or maybe the list view for mobile.

@ritzelpaket The JSON export will be finished soon and then we can save them into any database. We can get it done soon.
