GeoDirectory Events Addon GPL v2.3.21 – Complete Event Management & Calendar System for Directory Websites

• Comprehensive Event Creation and Management System

Build a robust events platform that rivals dedicated event websites with sophisticated creation tools designed specifically for directory integration. The addon provides intuitive event submission forms that capture all essential details including event titles, descriptions, dates, times, venues, pricing, and contact information. Advanced scheduling options support single events, multi-day events, and complex recurring patterns with customizable frequency settings. Event organizers can upload multiple images, videos, and documents to create rich, engaging event listings that attract attendees. The system automatically handles time zone conversions, daylight saving adjustments, and international date formats to ensure accuracy across global audiences.

• Intelligent Recurring Events and Schedule Management

Master complex event scheduling with powerful recurring event capabilities that handle everything from simple weekly meetings to sophisticated multi-occurrence festivals. Create recurring patterns including daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom intervals with advanced options for specific days of the week, month dates, or seasonal scheduling. The system intelligently manages recurring event instances, allowing organizers to modify individual occurrences without affecting the entire series. Bulk editing tools enable quick updates across multiple event instances while maintaining the flexibility to customize specific dates. Exception handling allows for holiday breaks, venue changes, or special scheduling modifications within recurring series.

• Event Discovery Interface and Dynamic Calendar Views

Provide visitors with beautiful, interactive calendar interfaces that make event discovery intuitive and engaging across all devices. Multiple calendar view options include monthly grid layouts, weekly schedules, daily agendas, and list views that adapt to user preferences and screen sizes. Advanced filtering capabilities allow users to narrow events by category, location, date range, price, or custom criteria with real-time results updates. Calendar integration supports popular formats including Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCal for seamless personal schedule management. Color-coded category systems and visual event indicators help users quickly identify relevant events within busy calendar displays.

• Advanced Location-Based Event Discovery and Mapping

Transform event discovery through sophisticated location-based search capabilities that connect events with geographical contexts and existing business listings. Interactive maps display event locations with detailed venue information, directions, and proximity indicators relative to user locations. Radius-based searching allows visitors to find events within specific distances from their current location or chosen addresses. The system automatically geocodes event addresses and provides accurate mapping integration with popular services. Location-based notifications can alert users about upcoming events in their area, while venue clustering helps organize events by geographical regions or landmark proximity.

• Seamless Business Listing Integration and Cross-Promotion

Create powerful synergies between your directory’s business listings and event content through intelligent integration that benefits both event organizers and venue owners. Businesses can easily create and manage events directly from their listing profiles, automatically inheriting contact information, location data, and branding elements. Cross-promotional features highlight related businesses such as nearby restaurants, hotels, or services that complement specific events. The system supports venue-based event listings where entertainment venues, conference centers, or community spaces can showcase their upcoming events. Automated suggestions connect event attendees with relevant local businesses, creating additional revenue opportunities for directory listings.

• Advanced Event Filtering, Search, and Categorization

Implement sophisticated search and filtering systems that help visitors quickly discover events matching their interests and availability. Multi-criteria filtering supports simultaneous searches by category, date range, location, price range, event type, and custom taxonomies specific to your directory’s focus. Smart search functionality recognizes natural language queries like “jazz concerts this weekend” or “free family events near downtown.” Category hierarchies organize events into logical groupings with support for multiple categories per event. Tag-based organization enables flexible event classification while featured event capabilities highlight premium or sponsored content.

• Enhanced User Engagement and Social Features

Boost community engagement through interactive features that encourage event participation and social sharing across multiple platforms. RSVP functionality allows event tracking with attendee limits, waitlists, and confirmation management. Social sharing integration promotes events across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms with optimized previews and hashtag suggestions. User-generated content features enable attendee photos, reviews, and testimonials that build community around events. Email notification systems keep interested users informed about new events matching their preferences, upcoming deadlines, or last-minute changes.

• GPL Licensing Freedom and Unlimited Customization Potential

Maximize your events platform investment with GPL licensing that provides complete ownership, unlimited usage rights, and freedom to modify every aspect of the addon. Deploy across unlimited directory websites without additional licensing fees or restrictions on customization and feature development. Access full source code for advanced modifications, custom event types, or integration with specialized booking and payment systems. Share customizations with development teams, clients, or the broader community without legal concerns or licensing violations. The GPL license ensures long-term platform evolution, community-driven improvements, and protection against vendor dependency while maintaining professional support and regular feature updates from the development team.
