David Mundell, Developer  at Matogen Digital David   I have assigned this one to you - if you need work, this one has been shown to the team and they like it so I can't imagine its going to end up being much different to what we have for DSI

I've removed the due date for now while we finalise the designs and get sign off

  1. Refreshed filter look and feel with a large filter button.
  2. See that we now have a featured event, with different colour rendering.
  3. The default view when landing on the events page should show all upcoming events from the current date, including the months ahead. 
  4. There is also a load more button should there be more than 9 events listed.

Drop featured post when filtering – let MSI know

When there is a featured post on default, we need to build something to exclude said feature from the feed view

Feedback from Jim regarding multi-day events:
"Multiple-day events should probably stay "at the top" until the last day of the Event. Things that are periodic (like "weekly") should mostly be put in as separate Events -- although our description would likely be much the same."

I will need to work on the design and consider the functionality of this. Will take this task back, and reassign it to David Mundell, Developer  at Matogen Digital David  when we've had a look together and agreed that what I propose will work, plus sign off from the client

I've added multi-day events to the event page prototype, as below.
The event at the top shows a 3-day event where the start times are differing on each day. The second multiday event shows a 2-day event with the same start times on each day.

  • Let me know if this layout is the best approach, or if you think there may be a better way to display this.
  • I am not sure how this would play out in the backend, or how those uploading will need to input the content to make this work. Is it going to be very complicated?
  • Is the dash added in between the dates clear enough? I was thinking an arrow might work better, although didn't want to complicate the design further.
Jim's feedback on periodic events: "Things that are periodic (like "weekly") should mostly be put in as separate Events -- although our description would likely be much the same."

Laura Hurley, Designer, UX and Engagement Specialist at Matogen Digital Laura I think that looks nice. Was wondering about possibly putting the two dates into one block; something like this, but either way I think it works!

I think for simplicity's sake, we can leave times off multi-day events in this view. When you click into the event, you should still see start and end times for all the days.

Lekker! Thanks,  Ian Parsons, Head Chef at Matogen Digital Ian  I think adding the dates into one block also helps to drive the multi-day aspect. Let me add that to the prototype :) and I agree, let's leave the time off – less confusion.

Hi Ian Parsons, Head Chef at Matogen Digital Ian ,

As discussed in our daily stand up.

Live events are not currently using the date fields and on a randomized check some do not have dates in the content either.

The solution proposed is that we will update the events on live that are future events. We should look for any events that was post in the recent future and update them to have dates.

updated timing for this task is 24 hours - David Mundell, Developer  at Matogen Digital David you are trekking at 30 hours this week (not including past work) Please will you confirm that you are wrapping this up today? Iif not, we need to pause and pull in support for this one from Ian Parsons, Head Chef at Matogen Digital Ian  to see where you are stuck 
Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital
Thanks for the chat David Mundell, Developer  at Matogen Digital David  as discussed don't stress, wrap up today and we look at what's left to do on Monday (if anything) we'll save on the form filling task and in general the project is sitting at 51% of budget so we're still in a healthy position - this budget does include maintenance as well but I am confident we'll get it across the line.

Hey Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital Robyn ,

This is now on stage: https://msi.dev.umn.edu/news-and-events/events 

I added some random dates so we can fill the calendar. Without dates nothing will show.

Thank you 🙂
