Advanced date formatting latest events module

by **SvenJ** » Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:58 am

Hi,
I am trying to achieve an ideal date and time output but the conditions are conflicting somewhat and obviously can not be nested.

I have looked carefully at http://www.jevents.net/jevents-15-topme ... nts-module
bu can't get what I want to work.

This is my logic in Words:

Startdate Always shown.
Starttime shown if not All day event is marked [!a]

Enddate shown only for multi day events [m]
Endtime shown if not All day [!a] AND if not No end time [!e]

The closest I get is this:

Code: Select all: [!a: ${startDate(V%V, %a %e %b %H:%M)}] [a: ${startDate(V%V, %a %e %b )}] - [m: ${endDate(%a %e %b)}] [!e: ${endDate(%H:%M)}]

It doesn't work well for "Multi day, No specific endtime".

Does anybody have an idea how I should do to achieve what I am aiming for?

Joomla 2.5.9
Jevents 2.2.8
Latest Jevents 2.2.5

Regards

Sven

I wished too, these could be nested, but you may take a look at my latest events:

Code: Select all: ${startDate(%a. %d. %b. %Y)}[!a:, ${startDate(%H:%M)}][m: -<br>${endDate(%a. %d. %b. %Y)}] ${title}

Best regards, MacJoomla

Our format is similair but you have no end "time" displayed at all.

I do wish to display the end time when appropriate.

How does it output and what would you prefer?

Starttime works fine in all combinations.
The output for Multiday with No specific end time marked is (obviously) without end date.
