Hi I operate a site that has several clubs that meet at regular dates (days of the month like the 2nd & 4th Saturday or The last Saturday of the month) I want to set up a calendar with the club name & dates that go to the club information when I click on it. The second thing I want is a switch that will make a date not seen or dark when they don't meet (say the second Saturday of may. The third thing that I'm looking for is when they meet on a unregular date say the second Thursday of june. From what I see of JEvents this would work & I could even put it on multiple pages like a Calendar page for all, A list of event for the Club page. I'm new at Joomla and I'm not that strong of changing codes, so my question is can I get help on setting this up?
Hello,

So from what I can gather you just want a calendar which lists all the events, you click the link it shows your the event details etc and the information about the club holding the event?

An have events which repeat on a date, day or the week, end of the month etc? All of these can be handled by default.

Although the Organisers details could be handled with JEvents Managed People / Resources.

Many thanks
Tony

Yes I know that by defalt I can set up a Calendar which will List The Events the free one does that but where I am lost and it might be in the paid area..

1. Can I hit a button on a date when the club nomally meets and have it dark or not show on that date?

2. How do I set up the Clubs page to were it list only the events for that club?

3. Can I set up the unregular dates in the events that they meet? Or do I have to set up a 2nd event for that club?

4. Can I set up different speakers/callers for each date or do I have to set up seperate events?

5. How do I set up custom fields?

I'm not sure if I need the Silver or Gold membership & once I buy the membership from what I read below I go to The Orginizers?

What ever help you can provide would be helpful.

You mean in the mini-calendar? there is a config option in the module for days with no events to NOT have a link

2. How do I set up the Clubs page to were it list only the events for that club?

You could do this by having a separate category per club - OR using silver member addons have a separate calendar per club or have clubs as managed people/resources associated with each event and then display their 'club page' with associated events etc.

3. Can I set up the unregular dates in the events that they meet? Or do I have to set up a 2nd event for that club?

2 options - either separate events per date OR setup a regular pattern and edit the repeats. BUT be careful with the second approach because you can't add new irregular dates to an existing repeating event without loosing your earlier custoisations

4. Can I set up different speakers/callers for each date or do I have to set up seperate events?

Yes - but be careful re answer to 3. Note that you could have 'people' pages for your speakers/callers and associate these with your events

5. How do I set up custom fields?

You would need the silver member custom fields addon which would allow you to incorporate a lot of different field types into your events.

I read all Documentation & it was all French to me & I don't speak French. I was told JEvents was easy to use & had great support. Did I waste my money or how do I get the money back?

Hello,

We can offer you a refund by all means within 30 days.

You haven't explained exactly what your issue is still?

All our documentation is in English? So not sure where you found French documentation?

Obviously it cannot be expected of us to setup JEvents on your website exactly how you want it within the small membership fee.

We offer support for the parts of which you are struggling and what you don't understand and anything else JEvents related really.

Many thanks
Tony

Hi, this looks like a great product and I don't have a problem joining as a member -- except that it simply isn't installing.

Or, to be precise, it seemed to install correctly but I can't add any events. The display page on our website looks fine but empty. It appears that the way to add an event is
Joomla Administration =>
Components =>
JEvents =>
Manage Events =>
Click the New button at top right.

When I do this however, I get this error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/content/16/8664016/html/components/com_jevents/libraries/formbehavior.php on line 42

I have not changed any of these files. Looking at the raw files I downloaded, I see this:

40 public static function chosen($selector = '.advancedSelect', $debug = null, $options = array())
41 {
42 if (isset(static::$loaded[__METHOD__][$selector]))
43 {


Could it be as simple as the { being on the subsequent line, instead of at the end of line 40? Seems too simple, or everyone would be unable to load, not just us.

Please advise.

Thanks, Mark

Hello Mark,

There is your main problem. Joomla! 2.5.8 is highly outdated and severely insecure. You should update to at least 2.5.28.

This will likely solve your problems.

Thanks

Hello,

You are using PHP 5.2.... I've just noticed that. You need to upgrade to PHP 5.3 at the minimum really. We are now testing under PHP 5.6.

If you can't change your PHP Version then use JEvents V 3.1.45.

Many thanks
Tony

See http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.17 - your PHP version is more than 3 years old and needs to be updated as a priority I would suggest
