Eventbrite Blocks

[mrconnerton]

So right now this module is creating 5 blocks for every event the user has. This could make the blocks/context page grow quit fast unnecessarily.

My idea was to have a blocks page under the eventbrite configuration that would turn on block creating for individual events. That way they only need to have the 3 or so they actually want versus a 3 page list of them.

Yes, that is a good idea. However, ideally I'd like to see all the blocks actually driven by data rather than embeds, through views. And again, this event specific. Let me post the high level uses cases to the wiki.

Let's think about default blocks that could be in the main blocks admin. The only one that is not event specific would be upcoming events: from the API key, the list of all upcoming events.

Maybe a "next event" block, that always shows full details for the next upcoming event is another good default one.

At this point Views integration seems like a need to have for most modules. I would think showing upcoming events as well as "next event" would be views driven, assuming we build a sort handler and filter for Event date.

Yes, exactly.
