We have been working with some music promotion websites to attract local bands and came up with a cool calendar feature. What if we could eliminate calendar data entry? Well that's what we did. The block we created goes to the designated band & venue MySpace pages, extracts the schedules, sorts the data and displays it in a single calendar listing. You can see it in action at Custom Virtual Designs We were thinking about turning this into an XOOPS module but wanted to find out how much interest there is first.
The main benefit for users is only having to enter their appearance dates one time, on MySpace. Wherever you place this code on your site(s) the data will update automatically.
