Many thanks for your great snippet jaredc.

Im having a problem whereby the snippet call in the template:
[!EasyEvents_ListMini? &nodes=`66` &gotoDetailsPage=`1`!]

...is ignoring the ’&gotoDetailsPage’ parameter - basically it seems to ignore the parameter and publish all the event details. I also tried the ’maxEvents’ parameter, and that seems to be ignored too.

What could I be doing wrong? The rest of the snippet seems to be called correctly without problems (ie calendar renders fine, events list includes date, title, description). Many thanks for any help.

Dan.

I also have certain problems forcing EasyEvent to work.
My installation is guided by the current documentation.
I run Easy Events 1.5.3 with Modx 0.9.6.3

The main Problem is, i cannot fill in any date in the "Start Date" or "End Date" fields. There are those little image-buttons next to the files but these seem not working. I cannot even insert any string by hand into the input-box.
Yes, javascript ist activated. Do I miss any Pluging for that?

R.J.

Solved, i named my TVs Easy_Events_End what results in an wrong js call like "calEasy%5FEvents%5FEnd.popup()".

I have a little probem in as much the pop up that appears to allow calandar dates to be entered no longer appears, it has been working fine and dates have been entered it suddenly stopped this is not a pop up blocker issue,

the icon that is clicked to get the pop-up caledar to appear has this colde

<a onclick="documentDirty=false; calEasyEvents%5FStart.popup();" onmouseover="window.status='Select a date'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="media/style/MODxLight//images/icons/cal.gif" border="0" width="16" height="16"></a>

The source i see for this frame looks like this

	</frameset>
</frameset>
<noframes>This software requires a browser with support for frames.</noframes>

Can anyone give me some poitners in the right direction.

Thanks Ian

hi jaredc,

when i updated my modx version from 0.9.6.2 to 0.9.6.3, the date time icon didn’t work anymore. i figured out that i had to rename the TVs since i used the standard names with the underscore in it (e.g. EasyEvents_Start). i don’t know if i’m the only person with this behavior, but maybe it would be a good idea to change the default names in the next release (in the easyEvents.config.php file as well as in the documentation).

regards,
lukas

OK I also upgraded last week to 0.9.6.3 so thats why the time/date icon no longer work I guess. I renamed my TV’s and also corresponding bits of the config file but still no luck, is it just the last 3 lines of the config file that need renaming or am I missing another one, last 3 lines in mine now look like this

$_misc['tmplVarEnd'] = 'Events-End';
$_misc['tmplVarHideTime'] = 'Events-HideTime';
$_misc['tmplVarStart'] = 'Events-Start';

Quick Edit

I now have it working, I found that i needed to take out the - which I had used to replace the _ so without the - or the _ in the TV name things now work perfect again.

Well, I removed the underscore _ in every filename and TV name, and everything is working again. Thanks for the tip. laugh

Hi,

I just installed Easyevents on MODx 0.9.6.3 (I’m new to both). I managed to get the calendar working but I’m unable to go to the next or previous month. I do have some events scheduled for next month and they do show up as ’coming events’ but when I click on the little arrows nothing happens. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Does anybody have a nice piece of css to color the calendar? Currently mine is looking very white and I’m no css expert.

Thanks in advance,

Nico

Page 2 then 2nd item down on this thread is a post by sottwell who has attached a stylesheet for download which styles it green.

I’m creating a Ditto RSS feed based on the calendar doc pages and trying to order the events by the start date. It’s not working because the start date is formatted. If I change this back to unix time will it screw things up?

Mostly harmless.
