How would you setup a searchable calendar?

Dear MODX people,

I'd like to setup a new site and I am wondering how the best way might look like.

Situation: I am a runner. I'd like to know where people meet to go running together on a weekly basis.

The data I'd like to enter will contain:

• city
• day of the week
• time
• location
• optional link
• optional contact

User should get these informations when they enter the location in a search form. Maybe store that location in a cookie.

I think it's too much to enter each meeting point and time in a MODX resource and get them via getResources with a TV filter. How would you do it?

Cheers,

Guido

You might be able to do something with a combination of the StoreLocator and mxCalendar extras using a resource containing a calendar for each city's "events" per month. If the resource contained a list of events, it should be searchable. mxCalendar has category and separate calendar functionality. First locate your city's events via postal code, show a map with marker, link to the resource of calendar from map, and show list (with ajax modal view details if you want).

I would use this http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/MIGXdb.Manage+Events-Resources+in+a+CMP+with+help+of+MIGXdb

Thank you for your replies!

My hope was to get FURL out of it. Like site.com/city/day -> all events
That wouldnt be so hard, but I want it to be possible for user to enter new meeting points by themselves. I'll see how I can archieve that. By now, it looks like I should prefer CakePHP on this task.

Love to find out how you do it... when you do it :~} Sounds useful.
