Ok, a few requests :)

* Use UI datepicker + selectables to allow for the selection of one, two or a range of dates for an event
* Use UI tabs to show more than one calendar on a page
* Microformatted events with hCalendar.

I’ve actually wanted something for allowing me to post my lineup for my radio show each week. I’ve kinda done this by hand all along. If it was something that allowed me to post some names of people who are on the bill and maybe the date and time they are performing I could totally use this. Then, I would just need some way to manage it and show each upcoming event on my homepage listing the date and the people performing.

Well keep me posted on the progress. I’m anxious to try it out. Are there any other plugins out there you’re aware of that might fit my need?

How about a cron job to aggregate RSVPs from places such as upcoming, facebook, meetup, etc? It’s a pain having to track who’s coming to an event across several platforms

Hi Benjamin,

I have been working on something similar and and since you seems to have got started before me on this I don’t think it worth duplicating the effort rather join the effort to make one better.

I can put forward some of the requirements that some of my client requested.

Let me know what you think.

@Benjamin Sterling:

I’ve also been mulling an idea for something like this over recently, although I hadn’t really started any real code. In particular, something I’ve been thinking about for another one of my plugins is a way for people to easily add fields. For instance, the ability to add a field called room number to their appointments without the program explicitly knowing about room numbers in advance.

In any case, send me an e-mail (or just drop a line on my site).

Also, off topic: I notice you using the @ syntax. Have you seen the Comment Connection plugin (disclaimer: I am not related to the author)? I’ve actually found it quite convenient.

I need an events manager plugin that would include a widget for listing the events on the sidebar, that would include an option to link events to their own page for more description, that would allow anyone to register, and that would either let them pay for the event (think webinars?) or at least integrate with another plugin that does so.
Hope that makes sense from a non-techie!

I would love to see you come up with a good events manager. I’ve tried pretty much everyone out there, but never found one that really satisfied my needs. Here are some items I would love to see:

* Supporting multiple calendars/categories
* Sipmle Ajax editing AJAX, drag and drop functionality would be very helpful), * External ical feed support (i.e. google calendar)
* Location support (managing locations, so you can reuse them), display options
* RSS & iCal feeds for the calendars
* Recurring events support
* Template Tags and Post tag fuctions/options
