CivicHall Meetings

CivicHall Meetings adds a calendar feed at /meetings.ics for sites built from the CivicHall template. Residents add it to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook, and new or changed meetings show up without a visit to the site.

AI disclosure: Most of the code, tests and README in this project were written by Claude (an LLM) at my direction. I read, ran and tested the code before pushing it, and I answer for it.

Features

• Lists published meetings from the last 30 days and every future meeting, up to 500.
• Includes each meeting's location and agenda link.
• A feed for each meeting type, for example /meetings/council.ics.
• A "Subscribe to meetings calendar" block with the feed address and a link for each meeting type.
• Follows node access, so the feed only shows meetings the visitor may view.
• Times are written in UTC, so each subscriber sees them in their own time zone.
• Settings for the calendar name, the meeting length and how many days of past meetings to include.
• Cached, and cleared when a meeting or the settings change, and on cron.

Requirements

Drupal 11.4 or later, and the meeting content type with field_meeting_date from the CivicHall recipe. Without that field the feed is an empty calendar.

Not done yet

• The Subscribe block is not placed for you. Add it from Block layout, or as a component in Canvas.
