Bringing together over 1500+ events per year on one unified website
Decades of shaping Maribor’s vultural scene are reflected in the Narodni dom Maribor through a wide range of well-known programs and festivals. From major events like Festival Lent to those dedicated to children, such as the Fairy City.
Tako festivali kot programi so imeli svojo ponudbo predstavljeno na ločenih spletnih straneh. Ekipa je bila vedno znova v zahtevni nalogi upravljanja in objavljanja teh dogodkov.
Design and implementation of an event management system
The website redesign began with the implementation of a centralized event management system.
By integrating a custom plugin with Google™ Calendar, we enabled the team to easily manage events and enrich them with additional details.
Synchronization of Events with the Website
We implemented synchronization of events from foogle Calendars directly into the website.
As part of the process, events are automatically tagged and other automations are triggered to ensure proper display on the site.
Photo Gallery Synchronization
The team at Narodni dom Maribor uploads event photos (both before and after the event) directly into a Google Drive folder linked to the corresponding Google Calendar event.
Ob sinhronizaciji se fotografije dodajo v spletno stran in avtomatsko predelajo na zahtevane veilkosti. During synchronization, the photos are autobatically added to the website and processed into the required sizes.
This greatly simplifies the entire workflow related to photo content.
Custom Layouts and Event Filtering
The website supports different visual templates (headers, footers, colors, etc.) for each festival and program segment.
Vsaka festival in programski sklop ima svoj filter dogodkov, ki iz centralne baze ponuja uporabniku točno tiste dogodke, ki ustrezajo festivalu oziroma programu, ki ga pregleduje. Each festival or program has its own event filter, wich pulls only the relevant events from th central database, showing users exactly what belongs to the festival or program they’re viewing.
