You might want to suggest a standard tag for people to add to Flickr, YouTube, etc....."crawlofthedead"? Then you could put everyone’s images from Flickr on the front page.

Upcoming uses the format “upcoming:event=303659” to tag things for a specific event

+ if people added the username of the zombie as a tag then the individual photos/videos could appear on that zombie’s profile

plenty of photos tagged already http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/crawlofthedead

ha ha

Even from beyond the grave your mission goes on

haha

Great idea!

the crawl was on upcoming, so adding a tag of “crawlofthedead” + one with “upcoming:event=294219” will uniquely identify the Brighton 2007 Crawl Of The Dead

Hmmm - just been looking at the upcoming.org API.

Looks pretty straightforward, just need to check I’ve got HTTP_REQUEST and Cache_Lite installed in PEAR and I can automatically add an event to upcoming when a user adds a new crawl.

you’d need to check that the event isn’t already there....in which case, you want to get the event id and store it in your db.

In fact, the first step is to just have an upcoming_id field on the crawl records, then you could display a link to the upcoming event + any Flickr photos from the crawl.
