Support/Comments for Easy Events

I just spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out why February 24 was in red while all the other dates weren’t. Time for bed.

PS: If you’re taking wishlist requests, I’d love to see the option to have a larger calendar display with the title of the event showing and an auto scroll box appearing if there were multiple events on a day.

Hi all-

I’ve been tied up getting ready to relaunch our site (Friday Feb. 29 unless something goes horribly awry). I’ll make every effort to publish the template variable-ized version of Easy Events the first week in March. Sooner if the relaunch goes so well I have nothing to do between now and Friday...

I hope that new version will get a &firstDayOfWeek-parameter like CALx.

You’re in luck - I just added that feature Except it’s not a snippet parameter, but a configuration setting. But yes you can choose.

@BobRay
One advantage of having events as documents is that creating a larger monthly display with different behavior **should** simply be a matter of writing a new snippet. Of course I say "simply" because what could ever be hard about writing a snippet...

...I did a little change in EasyEvents.class.php because the output of the month name on top of the calendar was always english...

Not any more! I added that to configuration settings as well. YOU decide what it says for each month.

Yiha!
This sounds really great!

I am waiton for the first week of March with excitement!

Hi all,

ModX newbie here (although a big fan already!) I have a problem, that I can’t seem to find an answer for in the forum:

My calendar is displayed fine. But when I click anything I get the document.getElementById is null error and nothing happens. If I click while pressing CTRL then I don’t get any errors, but then whatever is clicked is opened in a new tab.

So my first question is: Did anyone find a solution for the document.getElementById is null Javascript error in IE7?

And my second question is probably very noobish: How can I actually tell if the Ajax is working?

My calendar page is located at: http://www.prenzlauerberg.dk/index.php?id=11

Thanks!

I am unable to get the prev and next and any other link on my Easy Events page working.

http://mgymdance.com/index2.php?id=19

I checked to makes sure the " marks on the Calendar page were correct and my AJAX doc is published, not in the menu and using a blank template.

The call in that doc is

[!EasyEvents_AJAX!]

Does the ajaxPageId need to be =18 or ="18"

Okay folks - I haven’t totally been ignoring your pleas for help. The new version is out. It’s a rewrite. Ergo, I didn’t want to spend too much time correcting the old code. The new version allows far greater flexibility than the old, and uses template variables & MODx docs. Pretty straight forward. I rewrote the documentation too. It’s in the zip file.

To those who tried version 1 - I thank you for your interest. You might want to take a gander at upgrading. It will be a replacement operation (translation: pain in the neck if you have lots of events). Sorry about that. It just became overwhelmingly clear that this was the way to go. I think you’ll agree when you experience the improved functionality.

thanks for releasing this update, I’ll let you know how things go. should be fun seeing all the updates.

Thanks again

Thank you for the rewrite, I think the pain will be worth it.

Is there a problem with the placeholders in

<div id="ee_miniCalendarContainer">
[+miniCalPlaceholder+]
</div>
<div id="ee_listDetailsContainer">
[+listDetailsPlaceholder+]
</div>
[!EasyEvents_ListMini? &nodes=`21`!]

I can’t get the mini Calendar and events to load the above renders as

<div id="ee_miniCalendarContainer">
<!-- Previously the minicalendar would load here -->
</div>
<div id="ee_listDetailsContainer">

</div>

In the previous version they were called as:

<div id="ee_miniCalendarContainer">
[!EasyEvents_MiniCalendar!]
</div>
<div id="ee_listDetailsContainer">
[!EasyEvents_ListDetails!]
</div>

Have I missed something in the instructions?
