Issue 15398

Events list should include all upcoming events

15398
Reporter: thirsch
Assignee: bko
Type: Bug
Summary: Events list should include all upcoming events 
Description: At present, list of upcoming events at http://www.gbif.org/newsroom/events appears to cut off some events further into the future (e.g. GB 21 at http://www.gbif.org/page/3064). I suspect there may be a cutoff after 10 items ? [~cvizitiu] if this is a case, please remove this restriction as we should see all upcoming events as far into the future as we have entered them in IMS.

Comment: This should also expose the events as an RSS feed. This request was mentioned specifically by Daniel Amariles (Node Manager Colombia).

After a previous discussion with [~kbraak@gbif.org], we implemented the event page with only two links on the right: 1) Upcoming GBIF events and 2) Past GBIF events. It's quite simple now: the first one lists the event from now to the future and the second one lists to the past, with no restriction of the number.

We cancelled the original buttons at the bottom because "all gbif events" seems unnecessary and the fact it has the restriction as TH reported. Putting them to the sidebar makes navigation easier.

So I hope this part looks more reasonable to you now. I'll implement RSS feed as requested soon.

I just have put a RSS feed for Upcoming event. Please if any one can verify that this is for now what's needed. I understand later a more complete specification which would be worth a new story.

Thanks Burke this would seem to be what we need regarding the RSS. However the heading should not be 'Upcoming GBIF events' but just 'Upcoming events' (they are not all specifically GBIF events).

Also in the right hand column the heading should be Quick links to keep it in line with other pages.

And we do not need a link to Upcoming GBIF events there, as we are already on that page. The only link required is Past events (please rename from Past GBIF events).

Implemented as per discussion. We for now take the header of the filter pane out because 'quick links' is more for 'generic template' pages. Once we have a proper filter of event page we can think of an appropriate title.

The link will show 'Upcoming events" or "Past events" accordingly.

Please visit http://www.gbif-uat.org/newsroom/events again to verify. Thanks!
