Multilingual Events : Best Practices
August 23, 2011, 06:26:51 pm
Hello everyone,

There's always more than one way to do pretty much anything but I'd frankly like to hear your opinions on best practices when it comes to event creation and maintenance in a multilingual environment. Ideally, we'd like to be able to create different events for different countries and in different languages. These events would then be presented based on the language choice and country of origin. Simply put, we'd like to present events based on country and date (whether past or future). What's the best approach here?

CiviCRM already creates an "Upcoming Events" block in Drupal, a block which I'm still trying to figure out how to configure. But what's the best way to get a block displaying only content for events in Canada or Spain or Germany? Is this strictly a case of creating views and generating blocks based on those views or is there a better way?

Your thoughts? Experiences?

The Upcoming events block that is shipped with civicrm is not configurable

But i do think that using views to present your events is a better option and a lot more flexible and easier
