    Download: Easy Events
    Version: 1.5.1
    Demo: Easy Events on my demo site
    Brief Description:
    A simple, single calendar of events for your site.

    Here you go folks. We needed a calendar of events and we needed it fast. It didn’t have to rock the www with innovation - it just had to be useful. I imagine we’ll add more snippets to it in the future (RSS feeds come to mind) - but for now it’s short and sweet.

    Let me know what you think - and more importantly, if something doesn’t work!

      Great module, the interface rocks! Well done grin

      I was able to get a calendar up and running and enter several events no problem. However I could not get the AJAX to work. I followed all the instructions but the AJAX just will not work. Without the AJAX everything is perfect.

      I have followed the examples in the instructions, so I need to double check for any typos that could be causing an error.

      I see how it is supposed to work in the demo site but no luck. Since I am just testing for now I will work on it once I get some spare time and report back.

      Question: what are the .txt files for that are together with the snippets?

        followed the install instructions and see the calendar on my page - tinymce comes up as well on the module page.

        however, I’m getting some javascript errors - when trying to navigate the calendar on the page, I’m getting a javascript error in IE7: document.getElementById is null - on the module page in Firefox, I’m getting Window.onDomReady is not a function?!

        anybody else experiencing those problems - did I miss anything when installing this module?

        thank you in advance for your input.

            seems to be this function that’s causing the problem:
            window.onDomReady(function() {
            			var sysAlert = new Element('div').setProperties({
            				'class': 'sysAlert'
            			});
            			sysAlert.innerHTML = '<?php echo mysql_escape_string($sysMsgs);?>';
            			var boxHtml = new MooPrompt('<?php echo $_lang['sys_alert']; ?>', sysAlert, {
            				buttons: 1,
            				button1: 'Ok',
            				width: 500
            			});
            });


            it’s in the sysalert.display.inc.php file - however setting Window.onDomReady to window.onDomReady doesn’t solve the problem - do you know where mootools gets included into the modx manager?

              Nice calendar, just what I have been looking for.

              But I’m having some teething pains. I cannot get the link from a date on the mini calendar to my details page to work.

              Any suggestions?

              thanks

              Jim

                Would it be possible to work in event groups? I maintain a website for a group of parish churches and would like to have the calendar to display events for a given church, rather than the all the churches in one lot.

                Thanks

                Jim
                • If each church’s pages are in separate containers, just have different snippet calls for each one. You could even have a form for selecting the church, and use $modx->runSnippet to run the snippet with the appropriate container ID.

                  • Ah, if this is coming from an external database then I have no ideas. I was presuming the event calendar would be working from MODx documents.

                      Glad to have some feedback. Thanks folks.

                      First - these events are NOT MODx documents and therefore one calendar per site is what you get... At least till the next version (which should be soon as we have need of it at work).

                      I’d love to help with the AJAX issues, but without URLs to the pages with issues, it will be really hard for me to track. The first thing that comes to mind though is when you put your snippets in the document, you need to put it in a DIV with the ID specified in the customs file. For example:

                      <div id="myLittleCalendarThingy">
                      [!EasyEvents_MiniCalendar!]
                      </div>
                      


                      Then you need to be sure that your customs file has "myLittleCalendarThingy" as the mini calendar div. If you’ve done that AND made sure that your AJAX (server side) page is defined, then I’ll need to see the page specifically to get any more ideas. I ran through the installation myself several times - and tried to get it as complete as possible.
