Hey all,

I've been working on https://omnicommons.org/blog as a replacement to omnicommons.org and seeing how far we can go to simplify our lives in that regard. I'm not married to any of the content, and most of the style. This theme is selected because it's a really simple mobile-oriented genesis-based (therefore super-fast-loading) child theme. I'd be down to style it out a lot or just a little to move us forward.

Events Manager and the ESS feed are not working, so that's got to end. This is the most promising event plugin I've found so far: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=33

I love it! However, the "frontend submit" form plugin (an extension to the basic eme plugin) leaves something to be desired. See here how we can customize it a bit: https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy-frontend-submit/faq/

Attached is a form template I started working on, but that doesn't quite implement the drop-down menu for locations properly (locations do not get successfully saved).

If anyone has bandwidth, I could use a hand fixing up a better custom form that especially can:

Restrict locations to those pre-defined in wordpress and made available as a drop-down menu on the front end.
Allow for submitting recurring event requests (only single works right now as far as I can tell, but the admin event add forms allow for recurrence)
Adds the additional fields necessary to successfully replace our current booking form.

LMK if anyone wants to meet up to hack on this.
