Feature-rich modules, like the current Events module, are very nice - but they could be even nicer.
What I'm proposing is a way to hide stuff from the end users. Examples:
- In our organization it doesn't make sense to have events with different priorities, so I would really like to just get rid of this option.
- The same goes for categories - here I can just opt to not add any categories to the list, but the end user still sees a "Category:" when examining an event. Btw - this got me to think that Priority should work the same way as Category - much more flexible approch.
- We are not a multinational organization, so why can't I remove the time zone options and display information? It just adds to the cognitive friction using an interactive web site.
I could propably find more examples. This is not to say that the Events Module is a bad module - not at all. Actually I think it might be the best dnn calendar/events module around.
Just keep in mind that many of us run portals with really low tech end users who easily get confused (I scrapped the core gallery and went with SimpleGallery - not because it had nifty features, but because it was simple and clean).
Keep up the good work.
