JEvents & JomSocial

Please remind me what your custom fields xml looks like?

Hello again,

I know, 'Too many questions for one day', but just one more!
I am getting the error 'The field (Select List) is required' even though I have filled all fields under Common tab as well as all required custom fields. Tried it with different user accounts, went thru the custom field xml file several times; don't know what to do.

Thanks,
Amir.

Hi,

I would like to know:

1. How can I use tabs to display content in detail view?
2. How can I customize and add fields for Location plugin?
3. Regarding image uploads, is it possible to set either width or height in plugin config so that the images don't turn out crooked by being forced into particular dimension?
4. How I may insert subheadings to different segments of custom fields to be shown in front end detail view? For instance, I am collecting contact information about organizer, and I would like to organize it as follows:

Management (subheading)
Contact person (field)
Phone (field)
Fax (field)
Email (field)

Sales and Marketing (subheading)
Contact person (field)
Phone (field)
Fax (field)
Email (field)

Operation (subheading)
Contact person (field)
Phone (field)
Fax (field)
Email (field)

Amir.

1. "Calendars" provide a few different features:
a. you can import calendar from separate sources and keep them updated - so if you had a source of external data about relevant events you could import this from that source and display these events alongside your normal events. Another use would be a public holidays import or an industry events feed?
b. they provide a separate dimension for classifying your events e.g. by industry. Though you could also do this using tags, custom fields etc. One advantage of calendars is that if you use the authorised user mode for JEvents permissions you can restrict certain users to only create events in certain calendars. Using the "calendar specific events" plugin from the download area you can create menu items that would show events from one or more specified calendars.

2. Use the language override - http://www.jevents.net/jevents-15-topme ... in-jevents

3. You could use a text field (we will be adding field validation very soon) OR you could use a select list of options e.g. 1-20 etc.

Forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place, but this is the only place I know of to make a ticketing inquiry:

1. I am creating a business oriented events directory whereby Categories represent types of events such as Conference, Exhibition, Seminar and etc. I would like to know what use does [creating different] Calendars provide? Can we use the feature to represent different industries in this context? If so, can we also show a blended calendar to display all industries (calendars) in single calendar?

2. How can we rename the labels for default fields?

3. Is there an integer field type as part of custom fields?

Thanks,
Amir.

Could be a problem with your wysiwyg editor - try toggling the editor off or set the editor to 'none' temporarily in your user's profile.

Thanks for the help.

Re. Custom layout: I did as you instructed; however, selecting fields/options from drop-down menu on the right does not insert any syntax to custom layout code. Obviously, I had placed the cursor to the position that I wanted the code to be inserted. Just nothing happens, tried with many of the fields on the list.

1. Yes - you create and edit a custom fields xml file - most people do this by cutting and pasting what they need from all_fields.xml and then customising the field names and attributes

2. See http://www.jevents.net/downloads/catego ... e-notes-v3 - content of the file is wrapped in this code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<form>

	<fields>

...

	</fields>

</form>

the fields that appear on the first tab of the jevents edit page are wrapped in a fieldset with the name 'default' i.e.

<fieldset name="default">

...

<fieldset>

Other tabs can be created e.g.

		<fieldset  name="Extra Tab" description="An Extra tab for event editing">	

...

</fieldset>

for a tab with the label 'Extra Tab'

The order of the fields in the file is the order they appear when editing

3. For event viewing see http://www.jevents.net/jevents-15-topme ... ut-editing where you can control which fields are displayed where

Hi,

Re. custom fields: back to some basics:

1. Is it correct that we have to edit and customize new_custom_fields.xml file regarding custom fields?

2. What part in the file should the customized <form> syntax as described in the document be inserted?

3. How do we control the order of appearance for Custom Fields (CF) in combination with Regular Fields (RF) in output (detail) page? for instance, regarding the order of appearance, we have want to have something like: RF1, RF2, CF1, RF3, CF2, RF4

There is currently no integration with JReviews.

Using the JomSocial plugin for JEvents and the user specific events plugin you can show the list of events the user is attending in their JomSocial Profile. Though this functionality has been testing more actively with RSVP Pro as opposed to the simepl event registration addon

Custom fields - we are working on a dynamic tool to generate these but in the meantime:
There is no need to create separate xml files for each category - you would use the 'categoryrestrictions' attribute e.g.

categoryrestrictions="12,13,14"

Would mean that a specific field would only appear for events in categories 12, 13 or 14. There is an example in the all_fields.xml sample file.

Hi,

This is a non-relevent question to JS, but the only place I knew to make a post. I am new, and do not know how inquiry ticketing system works.

Re. Custom fields plugin: let's say we have different events categories such as conferences, Seminars, and Lectures that each require their own set of custom fields. (1) Do we have to create a separate '/new_custom_fields.xml' file for each category? (2) Do we have to edit the said file(s) to customize the fields, or some other file? (3) And finally, What section in file should the customized <form> syntax as described in the document should be inserted?

Creating custom fields compared to JS and Jreviews certainly have become much more than I have bargained for.

Hi,

I would like to know whether it is possible for the user to use Simple Events Registration in order to announce his/her attendance at an event in his/her JS profile page and Jreviews detail page (thru a module)? Or, we have to use RSVP Pro for this purpose. Please guide me more on Jreviews aspect as well.

Thanks,
Amir

I checked with JomSocial 3 a couple of weeks ago and it was working ok.

My concern is with Jomsocial 3.x as well.

they should all work with Joomla 3.1 - if you have any issues just let us know and we'll look into them and resolve asap

Hi Geraint,

Although I have made the subscription purchase while ago, I have intentionally delayed download and install for purpose of making sure the add-ons have also been updated. Currently, I have J3.1.x and Jomsocial 3.x on my site, and I want to know particularly whether the RSVP and Jomsocial addons are compatible with the setup described in above.

Best regards,
Amir.

RSVP Pro should be stable in Joomla 3.0 within a couple of weeks.

the 1% are things like some newsletter plugins or integrations with Virtuemart that are not yet Joomla 3.0 compatible. If you find there is an addon that is not yet Joomla 3.0 compatible we will address it quickly - as I said RSVP Pro is the last of the 'heavy weights' and the rest can be converted with just an hour or two's work.

There are JomSocial plugins that are Joomla 3.0 compatible and I'm working on extending their functionality too.

Hi,

I am about to finalize all extensions and components for the project so I need to get all facts right.

Based on what you have said, my understanding is that Jevents 3 and all extensions are Joomla 3.x and JS 2.8 compatible, and RSVP Pro is the last item to be added to the list of compatible components; please confirm? Any release date for RSVP Pro final version?

(as you say 99%) Which of the other components are not Joomla 3 compatible; it seems JS plug-in works up to Joomla 2.5?

Regards,
Amir.

You set up an crontab job (instructions provided) that automates the import.

Events added to JEvents CAN feed to the activity stream if you configure them to do so.

RSVP Pro (and 99% of club addons) works with JEvents 3.0 in Joomla 2.5. RSVP Pro is the last of the main addons to offer Joomla 3.0 support and that is now in beta testing.

Thanks for the feedback.

Re. item 3, how conveniently does the function of importing to Jevents happen (in terms of interface and having to do it manually/automatic)? As you know, it is quite important to be able to preserve JS interface and yet having Jevents as underlying platform.

Does Jevents additions/changes appear in JS stream activities?

I see that RSVP Pro works with J2.5 and Jevents 2.2 versions, and so is many other modules; what should I expect to have as latest version of Jevents and modules working with J3.x and JS2.8.x? How about being able to utilize Jevents 3?

Regards,
Amir.
