Modifying latest module

[Geraint]

In the method getUserMailtoLink in the file I referred to above you'll see

$userdet->username

being used in a few places - you would need to change this to

$userdet->name

Note that you can also create Joomla contact entries for your event creators and Jevents will automatically match up the creators to the contacts and use the contact system for messaging.

I now also want to display the name on icalevent.detail_body rather than username. In the core jevents fields list there is no option for the name, it only displays the creator username.

Thanks for your help

version 2.1.18 has changed this to name by default and in version 2.1.19 we'll offer a config option.

Hi

I am not sure we are still talking about the same thing. I have updated to version JEvents v2.1.18 Stable but cannot see name in the drop down list of fields. I have attached some screen shots to demonstrate the screens I am referring to.

Sorry - I thought you were using a Joomla contact entry for this user. You're actually just using a mailto link is that correct?

If so then change line 630 or components/com_jevents/libraries/jeventshtml.php to read:

Code: Select all

$contactlink = JHTML::_('email.cloak', $userdet->email, 1, $userdet->name, 0);

No it is not a mailto link, I just want to display the name of the user on the page. I have edited Event Details Page under layout defaults and selected creator from the field list. It is then displaying the username eg orangetheatreco rather than the name, Orange Theatre Co. There is no option in the drop down list on event details page for name, only creator.

Thanks for all your help.

You want the name of the creator and for this not to be a link?

[reditech]

Hi

Yes the name of the creator (not the username) and for it not to be a link.

Thanks

There is a config option for this "View mail" on the event detail tab in Jevents config (it also affects list views)

Fantastic as it is now showing the name but it is still hyperlinked with an emailto link. I don't want it hyperlinked.
