Dates and Times

The recipe takes the guesswork out of enabling your events to use recurring dates. By applying this recipe, your event content type will be configured to allow recurring dates, including the setup of the Smart Date Recurring formatter.

Managing dates and times is often complex: recurring events, timezones, daylight savings times, regional formatting conventions, and more. Add in additional presentation requirements like add-to-calendar links, registration links, and related content (like agendas, that change for each date instance) and the complexity can seem bewildering.

Fortunately, Drupal offers a rich toolset for solving these challenges. In this session we'll explore the solutions, not only showing how they work, but also detailing the modules and the configuration needed.

One of the key elements of the Starshot Initiative is the rapidly evolving system for Recipes. Designed to accelerate site-building, recipes will help people new to Drupal to solve for common needs, and for users of all skill levels to quickly build out content architectures using best practices.

This talk will discuss the elements that make up a recipe, how to use recipes, and what new capabilities are still in development. We'll also do a deep dive into the Events recipe and its available add-ons, allowing you meet even complex requirements quickly and without custom code.

When I first heard the vision for Starshot (now Drupal CMS), I knew exactly how I wanted to contribute. For years I have been working on trying to make it easier to quickly build Drupal sites following established best practices. I had been working on a set of modules I called Configuration Kits, but they were conceptually very similar to Recipes, albeit in a simpler (and less flexible) form.
