README

Elgg Stable License

An Elgg plugin that adds carpooling to events managed by the ColdTrick Event Manager plugin. On any event with a physical location, attendees can offer a ride or request one, respond to each other, and manage their own entries — all directly on the event page.

Features

  • Offer a ride — share the number of available seats, pickup points and notes.
  • Request a ride — state how many seats you need, your pickup location and notes.
  • Respond — a message form lets a non-owner contact the driver (on an offer) or the requester (on a request) by e-mail.
  • Manage your own entries — the owner can close (mark as full/handled) or delete an offer or request, updated live without a page reload.
  • Location-aware — the carpool block is hidden automatically on online events and any event without a venue or location, where carpooling doesn't apply.
  • Multilingual — English and Dutch translations included.

Requirements

  • Elgg 6.3 or 7.0
  • PHP 8.2 or newer
  • ColdTrick Event Manager: version 20.x (for Elgg 6.3) or 21.x (for Elgg 7.0)

Installation

  1. Place this plugin in your site's mod/ directory as mod/event_carpool (for example by cloning the repository or unpacking a release there).
  2. Make sure a compatible version of Event Manager is installed and active.
  3. In your Elgg admin area, go to Administration → Plugins, enable Event Carpool, and make sure it is ordered after Event Manager.
  4. Flush the caches (Administration → Flush caches). If you are upgrading from an earlier version, deactivate and reactivate the plugin once so the entity classes are registered.

Usage

Open any event that has a venue or location. Below the event, logged-in users see a Carpool Offers and a Carpool Requests section, each with a form to add an entry. Click an entry's heading to expand its details, contact the owner, or (if it is yours) close or delete it. Events without a location do not show the carpool block.

Compatibility notes

The plugin is written against the common Elgg API and runs on both the 6.3 and 7.0 lines with the matching Event Manager version. Elgg 7 made a few breaking changes that this plugin already accounts for, including ElggObject becoming abstract (the plugin registers its own Offer and Request entity classes) and the removal of some legacy front-end helpers (it uses the current ESM / elgg/Ajax conventions).
