981606 - Allow users to contact an event organizer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: webmaker.org, defect)

Description

[Cassie McDaniel [:cassiemc]]

Users may want to contact the event organizer with questions about the event.

Should we allow them to contact the user through their profile? An alternative is to allow this interaction to happen on an external link (like eventbrite), but if we are going to build the contact info into Profiles anyway, it makes sense to complete the linkage on events as well.

At minimum this could mean displaying a twitter or email link from the profile. The "organized by" avatar and profile name on the event details pages would link to the profile where they can find this information.

There is already a link to someone's email from the username, is this enough?

Comment 3

I'd think the expectation would be that the username links to the profile and contact info is available there. (This flow would also help with the featured mentors in /explore)

Is there a separate ticket filed for storing things like twitter/etc in profile?

Also one nit in PR

If there is no separate ticket, I would suggest just doing that in this ticket

Yeah, that ticket exists.
