#Stanford Events Importer

Version: 7.x-3.1-caw

Maintainers: jbickar, sherakama

Changelog.txt

The Stanford Events Importer provides custom functionality for importing from events.stanford.edu XML feeds. A new feed API is available that is customized to work with this importer. It is available at: http://events.stanford.edu/xml/drupal/v2.php (See http://events.stanford.edu/xml/ for more information on feeds.)

It gives the following:

• A content type "Stanford Event Importer", which allows you to create a content node of this type to import each feed you wish
• A content type of "Stanford Event". Nodes of this type are created by the "Stanford Event Importer" nodes when using "Import".

The imported items are set to refresh once every 24 hours, and to update (rather than replace) existing nodes.

Sub Modules

Stanford Events & Deadline Calendar Driven by the design of the Undergrad website, this feature will provide a calendar view and additional event views. The events will live at the calendar but use taxonomy to display on subsites.

Stanford Events Export The Stanford Events Export module contains Views that expose Stanford Event content as JSON and XML data. Useful in combination with the Stanford Drupal Events Importer module to migrate Stanford Event content from one Drupal site to another.

• Manage Events Page This contains a view for the stanford_manage feature. It provides a bulk operation view where content authors can make changes to multiple events in one task.
