The Main Features:

• Google Calendar Sync Module for Drupal Events Content-Type: A key aspect of this project was creating a smooth interface between the Drupal events content type and Google Calendar. This bidirectional synchronization guarantees that if any event is altered in Google Calendar, it automatically is mirrored on the Drupal website, and vice versa. This real-time data interchange reduces human data entry while ensuring uniformity across all platforms.
• Event Calendar View: The project implemented a dedicated event calendar view on the Drupal website. It provided users with a clear and straightforward summary of any upcoming events. This user-friendly design enables quick scouring and recognition of relevant events. Customers can also download event data straight to their calendars in iCal format.
• Option for users to download events as an iCal file - Two-way sync: We recognized the need of administrative control. That is why we developed the project that incorporates a dedicated settings page within the Drupal administration interface. It helps administrators to quickly customize the system, including choosing which Google Calendar to sync with. Any events amended in the Google Calendar will automatically be shown in the Drupal event based on the scheduled cron job.
• User interface upgrade: The project also included several upgrades to the UI. It helped improve the overall user experience. These improvements included faster page load times, smooth navigation, and seamless user accessibility.
• Drupal Version upgrade: The project included a complete update of the Drupal platform. It helped gain maximum speed, security, and compatibility with the new capabilities. This upgrade provided users access to security fixes and performance improvements. Newer features were also introduced, generating a strong and future-proof basis for the trust's online presence.
