Support/Comments for Easy Events

Hello.

I have just started using MODx and EasyEvents, so if this is a bit of a cludge way of doing things, let me know. I wanted to pull in TVs into the event list, so I did this:

In the config file I added:

$_misc['TVs'] = array('DateDescription','EventImage');

(I think it would be good to have this one as well, but I just hard coded to add introtext:

$_mist['doc_fields'] = "id,pagetitle,description,introtext,content";

It isn’t necessary for the TV code below)

I added a new function to EasyEvents_class.php:

    function getTVs($id)
    {
      $tvs = $this->modx->getTemplateVarOutput($this->misc['TVs'],$docid=$id);
      return ($tvs);
    }

Then to take advantage of this in the Events list, I added the following to makeEventList:

		// Get template vars
		
		$tvs = $this->getTVs($ea['id']);
		
		// Merge tvs
		
		$eventData = array_merge($eventData,$tvs);
		
                $eventList .= $this->templify('listItem',$eventData);

(the last line is already present and repeated here to see where it goes)

So with these changes you can define which TVs you want to use in eastEvents.config, and use them like the other [+ +] placeholders in the templates.

Cheers,

Paul

And then do the same in makeEventDetails:

	$tvs = $this->getTVs($eeid);
		
	// Merge tvs
		
	$templateData = array_merge($templateData,$tvs);
        
	// Send event data to chunk template
            $output .= $this->templify('eventDetails',$templateData);

Hoi,

if you call the permalink, the event is shown without date and time. How do I put those two on top of the eventpage?

thanks

Im having problems switching months. I’ve updated line 7 of easyEventsAjax.js and the error I get is:

document.getElementById(EasyEvents.calDivId) is null
onreadystatechange()()easyEventsAjax.js (line 34)
[Break on this error] document.getElementById(...calDivId).innerHTML = xhro.responseText;

Also:

XUL box for span element contained an inline #text child, forcing all its children to be wrapped in a block.

any ideas?

Thanks

Edit: Okay on removing jquery the months change now, but I still get errors:

missing : after property id
easyEventsAjax.js
Line 7

EasyEvents is not defined
/events?ee_sy=2009&ee_sm=02
Line 78

Hmm I really need jquery :/

try fix the easyEventsAjax.js, line 7:

xhr0: window.XMLHttpRequest ? new XMLHttpRequest() : new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0"),

to be:

var xhro = window.XMLHttpRequest ? new XMLHttpRequest() : new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0"),

I tried this, and the Next Month / Prev Month does page back and forth, but it isn’t ajaxing - in the javascript error log I get

missing : in after property id"

at line 7 xrho.

So switching months doesn’t trigger the ajax, and selecting an event goes to the actual event page, and then the calendar can no longer display events because the snippet doesn’t run.

If I put line 7 back how it is in the download, xrho: and next/previous no longer works, but clicking event titles does use ajax to display the event.

Can anyone help? I have commited to getting my site live in a few hours.

The test site is up here if it helps: http://prb.humit.com.au/events.aspx

Many thanks.

Paul

This might be to go backwards in development, but I want to go directly from a link in the event list to the full article. I don’t want the article content to show up in the AJAX field under the minicalendar.

I have set the &gotoDetailsPage to be 1, so when I click on a link in the event list I can go directly to the full event document. But the content in the document still also shows up in the AJAX field under the mini calendar, and thats what I don’t want to happen.

How can I prevent this? Thanks.

I think, thererfor I am! But what I am, and why...?

I couldn’t get some of the Ajax stuff to work, and so just removed all of the javascript calls.

This will achieve what you want.

I’m not sure what goldsky was getting at with this change. I appreciated it at the time because it allowed users to move between months, but that’s just because this change, by itself, breaks the JS AJAX functionality and the calendar then works without the JS. I discovered that my AJAX problem moving between months stemmed from not naming one of my container div ids correctly (it needed to be <div id="ee_miniCalendarContainer"> or at least match what I had in the config). Once that was fixed, the errors went away and the calendar worked without the change above.

Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once.

this is my first post on the forum. thanks a lot to all contributors for this great piece of software (modx).

thanks to jaredc for this great plugin. saved me a lot of time. where can I donate to buy you a cup of tasty cappuccino?

@derluecke
as to your question about problems with PHx I ran into the same problem. I found this solution quite helpful: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=33316.0.

Thanks for your answer, but I still want to have the rest of the AJAX functions. The only thing I want to have is the original eventlist under the calendar when I click on an eventlink, and not the content of the event document. The rest works perfect. See it here (in Norwegian).

I tried several hacks in some of the EasyEvent files, but with no luck. I think it must be something about the onclick function in the the event title link, but I just can’t get it to work. Can someone please help me on this?

Thanks.
