CiviEvent Page >> Content type in Drupal? Views, Taxonomy, CCK . . .

[linkx]

Would it be insane to have the CiviEvent registration/info page, after being created in CiviCRM, show up as a node/"content type" in Drupal? This seems like it would improve the integration between the two. This would probably make sense to do as a Drupal module, not as a CiviCRM feature, (maybe a bit of both?) but I just want some thoughts here.

A practical example: The wonderful "event" module makes any "content type" into an event, makes event dates/times available to the Views module, is integrated with the powerful taxonomy system, creates a nice CSS calendar, a calendar block, iCal feeds, and more. My thought is that while CiviEvent is a solid "backend"--handling registrations, payments, email confirmations, max-outs, roles, etc.--the Drupal "event" module could handle ALL of the "frontend" stuff--displaying events and organizing them with the help of the all-powerful Views and Taxonomy.

This would also make event pages CCK-able. You see where I'm going . . .

A code contribution for this would be great and much appreciated by the community (and us!)

Is this not what CiviNode does? Forgive me for being ignorant as I have not tried this yet myself (but want to right away). The CiviNode module description states, "CiviNode is a module and API that exposes CiviCRM contacts, groups, and other CiviCRM object types to Drupal as nodes." So it is ambiguous whether CiviEvents are included in the "other CiviCRM object types."

I'm pretty sure it does not. but i'd encourage you to download and try it out and maybe help improve it to handle other object types

According to this issue ( http://drupal.org/node/194628 ) over at drupal.org CiviEvent items are not something that is covered yet. All though it might not be much of a project to add it.
