ChiefsPlanet - View Single Post - Misc Mobile EventZombie.com now with useless St Joe data!

Ok for anyone still interested in helping me out.. the mobile version now has a LIST view you can get to from the map..

Here are my questions...

I am thinking of splitting the button that send you to the map so you can pick either map or list from that main screen. Good idea?

Also, the list view only shows events not FB posts... part of the reason is that events can be listed by present and future date of event but facebook posts are all in the present or past.. so they wouldn't fit the format. The problem is.. people often post events as just text in a post... well I have no way of identifying those. One thing I am looking to do is add an additional layer to the parser that looks at the data and any posts that links to an event would grab the event data and check the venue address then "promote" that post to an event in the db. Unfortunately these are rare.. most times it's just text like "Hey my band The Ninnyhammers is playing tonight here at Smokeys, come check us out!"

SO.. I was thinking of having TWO list views.. one is by event date and of course noway for that to show posts but the other would be by bar and would show both upcoming events and recent wall posts.

Basically the same info you get here http://www.eventzombie.com/mobile/mapd.php?id=1098
but will all the bars for that area on one page with collapsible headers to separate them.

Am I talkin crazy or does that sound right?
