"Eventum project" - A Drupal platform for managing events and conferences
•
3 j'aime•2,604 vues
The "Project Eventum" was born from a specific need: to create a web platform that could handle an event: from its advertising, the attendee registration, sale and service tickets. It was produced entirely using the framework and the potential of the Drupal CMS and the talk will discuss the requirements the technological and methodological choices made, features, and advantages it offers to attendee and event organizers. We'll talk about how Drupal is really "ready-for-app!" and how it is possible to realize with (relatively) little effort a reusable product and, at the same time, highly customizable. And what we intend to do with this product and the case-histories that already can boast. "Eventum" was developed in 2013 by bmeme in collaboration with Nouvelle, an Italian agency focused on Communication and Marketing.

- 6. #DrupalDaysIT THE STORY Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away a phone rang
- 7. #DrupalDaysIT THE STORY Customer REQUESTS A SIMPLE 2/3 pages website… …to promote an event… …users have to buy tickets online… …and some other services. AH! ALMOST FORGOT… …aheam… book hotels online??
- 8. #DrupalDaysIT THE STORY Customer REQUIREMENTS Event Subscription (Registration?) eCommerce More than a product Booking Online Stock Management
- 10. #DrupalDaysIT THE SCOUTING Conference Organizing Distribution • Event signup • Session proposal/voting/judging • Session selection/scheduling • Sponsor Management • Attendee Management • Ticket sale drupal.org/project/cod
- 11. #DrupalDaysIT THE SCOUTING Drupal Rooms • Rooms Management • Availability Management • Integration with Commerce (drupal.org/project/commerce) • Booking online • Manage Discount and services drupal.org/project/rooms
- 12. #DrupalDaysIT THE SCOUTING Eventbrite • Does it need presentations??? eventbrite.com drupal.org/project/eventbrite_api
- 13. #DrupalDaysIT THE DISAPPOINTMENT • “Cod” is too much “IT-event oriented”. • “Rooms” manages only a booking “structure” at once and it works on too much things. • “Eventbrite” integration is based on (very, very, very, very…help me to say: very) bad library. …MMMMMHHHH…
- 14. #DrupalDaysIT THE OPPORTUNITY • Basing on this REAL requirements… • …build a Drupal application… • …or something like that… • …with a base of features ready… • …highly customisable… • …reusable and resalable.
- 16. #DrupalDaysIT THE IDEA • Drupal Installation Profile • With needed contrib modules inside • Drupal Commerce integration • Custom Hotel booking system with stock management • Some nice features like: • Session scheduling/selection • Speaker management • Registration during subscription • Sale of tickets for sessions / days / event • “Other product” management
- 17. #DrupalDaysIT FEW KEYWORDS ABOUT DRUPAL COMMERCE Product Variations: are the descriptors you can use to define kinds of products. For example, you could describe size, fabric or color of a pair of shoes.
- 18. #DrupalDaysIT FEW KEYWORDS ABOUT DRUPAL COMMERCE Line Item: the way in which customers can define something about the product.
- 19. #DrupalDaysIT FEW KEYWORDS ABOUT DRUPAL COMMERCE Payment gateways: a pluggable system that allows you to interface with a payment provider to handle the secure payment transactions for whatever you are selling.
- 20. #DrupalDaysIT HOW “EVENTUM” IS BUILT? Some simple node entities: • Place: conference rooms or halls. • Session: what, who, where, when • Sponsor: obviously Three products displayed node entities: • Event Program: referenced to “Session” and “Program” product variation type • Accomodation: referenced to “Room” product variation type • Service: referenced to “Service” product variation type
- 21. #DrupalDaysIT HOW “EVENTUM” IS BUILT? Simple custom Booking System The system can suggest to the user the best/available accommodation and room basing on: • The day/s of the event (then they are fixed…) • The levels of the accommodation (es: three, four, n stars) • The number of beds needed. ! And manage the quantity of each room of each accommodation. - What else? -
- 22. #DrupalDaysIT KEYPOINTS • The organizer does not sell the ticket…he sells SOMETHING that CAN BE also the ticket (a single session, a single day of the event, different days at different prices and so on… • During the subscription, the attendee will be registered as Drupal user. • During or after the subscription at the website, the attendee can book a room in an hotel or buy other services. • The rooms not more available, will not be proposed to the attendee
- 23. #DrupalDaysIT LOOK BACK TO THE REQUIREMENTS Event Subscription (Registration?) eCommerce More than a product Booking Online Stock Management MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
- 25. #DrupalDaysIT MANY THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN ... • “Eventum” now is a Drupal module with a set of predefined dependencies. • It is really reusable and “pluggable” in any Drupal instance also pre-existent. • With Nouvelle S.r.l. we defined pricing policies. • We are thinking about a distribution that could be available in SaaS.
- 26. #DrupalDaysIT MEANWHILE IN GOTHAM CITY
- 30. #DrupalDaysIT AGENDA • Overview • First: the story… • …then a little bit of scouting… • …mmmm…I have to do it by myself
