Drupal Advent Day 16: Freelock Highlights Automated Event Display Changes

Staff Reporter

Day 16 of the "Advent 2024 — 24 Days of Automations" series by the Freelock Blog highlights how Drupal site builders can enhance event engagement by dynamically changing event displays after they occur. This is achieved using Drupal’s core view modes in combination with the Events, Conditions, and Actions (ECA) module. The system automatically switches the layout of event pages once the event date has passed, ensuring the content remains relevant for visitors. For upcoming events, the layout emphasizes attendance details, while past events can showcase recaps, videos, photos, or participant notes. This approach aims to provide a more engaging experience for attendees and non-attendees alike, offering valuable insights into past events and encouraging participation in future ones.
