Support/Comments for Easy Events

Well, while in one sense I like the actual manager module for dealing with events, I ended up going with CALx, since it does multiple events on the same day more gracefully, and that turned out to be a show-stopper for this client. And I was getting started on inserting the date picker javascript widgets! Maybe next time

Nice Module. It would be great to have a few more fields like title/subtitle and maybe a field with a doc-id referenced to a modx-document.

A better date-parser (or a parse-string in the language file) is necessary for other languages than english. Why didn’t you use the modx-thing used to set a TV-date?

BTW: Have translated the language file to german.

Wouldn’t it though? My issue was I needed something short and sweet and live... at least that was the impression I got. To be more flexible and allow for more custom fieldery, I may redesign using TVs.

Was easier to build faster. Maybe not a good reason, but an honest one. This is perhaps another reason to use the TV method instead. The writing appears to be on the wall...

I am experimenting with a TV based version now - and taking a look at what CALx can be tweaked with to get it where I want.

Thanks for the German translation.

Well done!

I had a VERY easy time installing this, and it runs great. I like how it was created with clutter reduction in mind (no chunks).

Thank you!

My question is really simple. I’ve got the calendar to display but I need to add events and I dont see any instructions on how to do that.

Please assist

Log into the manager, and go to "Modules" ... and you should see your Easy Events module listed.

Thanks alot. I got it to work in terms of adding a number of demo events but for some reason I cant navigate to other months and I cant view the details of the login.

This is what my link is.

And here is what my code looks like



my ajax page is called "EasyEvents_AJAX" - blank template
in the content section I have the following



what am I doing wrong?

I could be wrong (see my disclaimer below), but it looks like you’re using CALx, not Easy Events. Easy Events doesn’t do the pop up blocks when you hover over dates with events. If that’s the case, then you might look again at the CALx instructions and support thread.

Your right sorry
I was in the middle of dev.

Ah. Okay. That’s Easy Events for sure.

The problem seems to be that incorrect quote marks are used to surround the container ID names. For instance, if you look at your source, you’ll see:

<div id=“ee_miniCalendarContainer”>
instead of
<div id="ee_miniCalendarContainer">

Same for ee_listDetailsContainer. Probably a problem with the WYSIWYG editor. At least that’s my guess.
