I have a client who has a huge community following and their current website runs on Joomla 1.5.x, which is painfully outdated/clunky.

I have convinced this client to start a fresh new installation of Joomla 2.5.x and am leaning towards using both JomSocial 2.8.2 and JEvents 2.2 (I think that's the latest version - perhaps 3.0) instead of some other events/calendar component. That also includes using JEvents instead of the built-in JomSocial Events.

After reading about your many addons you provide to Club Members, I would definitely recommend the Gold Member Club to my client, but do have some specific questions I need answered. Is this the proper forum or is there a support email address I can use to ask these questions.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide and whether this is the appropriate place to ask those client-specific questions. They mostly deal with what JEvents can do.

I found the problem - it will be fixed in the next release of the custom fields addon.

In the meantime please change line 371 of plugins/jevents/jevcustomfields/customfields/jevcfform.php from
if ('custom_'+item.name !== fieldname) return;
to
if ('custom_'+item.name !== fieldname && ('custom_jform['+item.name+']') !== fieldname) return;

Hi,

I carried out the instructions given last night. It worked for one entry. Today, when I tried to enter Create event page, I got the following error on a white page:


Error 0
(XML file did not load)

Please try one of the following pages:
Home Page

If there are any Dos and Don'ts in regards to modifying xml file, please let me know. I have not made any drastic changes to the file other than some clean up (omitting some of default="" parameter)

Regards,
Amir.

Open the XML file in a web browser to see where it is incorrect.

The syntax of XML is very fussy - and will fail for the smallest of problems e.g. mismatched open/close tags or a missing quotation mark.

Hi,

Thank you for all the assistance as I moving forward.

Re. Layout customization, I have some problems and questions:

1. When there is no content for certain custom field, the label still appears whereas it would be appropiate so that the label would become hidden as welll; how can I fix the problem?

2. The map does not display using [Nonumber] tabs extension

3. When clicked on tab containing Location content, the tab box containing the content jerks to the left(slightly expands bigger than the size defined)

4. The location labels do not appear with and without tabs

Regards,
Amir.

Hello Amir,

1. See: http://www.jevents.net/jevents-15-topme ... ing-values

about handling missing values.

2. Do you have a link? I have had this working in the past.

3. This is likely caused by the layout you have set and css.

4. How have you added the location labels? we leave them off by default. You can add them easy enough, via the Custom Layouts manager.

Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,

Re. item 1, specifically I want to see to it that field labels become hidden if there are no content in their pertinent fields. Consider I have field called Partnerships with field label: {{Partnerships Label:field8_lbl}}; how can I use the instructions on the page referred to for this purpose?

Re. item 2, see http://epcmena.com/event/manage-events/event/2/-.html
login using (please delete info. from the board after noting it)

Re. item 3, it has to do with Location layout/CSS, because when I replace the Location tag with simple text, it works fine.

4. Since there is only one location tag (calling the field), how can I define separate label for each of fields involved?

Thanks,
Amir.

{{Partnerships Label:field8_lbl#%s}} or you could use
{{Partnerships:field8#The field value is %s#This field has no value}}

Re. item 2, see http://epcmena.com/event/manage-events/event/2/-.html

I see the map at the top of this page - you can't display the map twice, it will cause the script to get confused since there are 2 targets with the same identifiers


Re. item 3, it has to do with Location layout/CSS, because when I replace the Location tag with simple text, it works fine.

You map is too wide for the space available.

4. Since there is only one location tag (calling the field), how can I define separate label for each of fields involved?

Amir.

Not sure what you mean by location labels?

Thanks for the feedback.

I applied the code '#%s' to LABEL codes as suggested (1st option). Irrespective of whether there is content in pertinent field or not, it makes the LABEL hidden.

I was aiming for if there is content in the field, then obviously the label would appear as well, and if not, then label would also be hidden.

Tried the 2nd option; it makes the Label hidden and starts the content of each field with 'the value of field is' which not what I wanted.

Regards,
Amir.

The idea with the 2nd option is that you replace 'the vaue of field is' with the text you want to display (i.e. the value of your label).

Option 1 is working on my server - what sort of field are you working with?

Hi,

Re. Option 1, my apologies as I had used the editor and by making the label bold, the codes were misplaced. I corrected the issue, however, now the output I get is that regardless of content availability in the field or not, the label shows [like before inserting any new code]. Here is the typical code used in custom layout:

<tr>
<td width="200"><strong>{{Fields of activities Label:field3_lbl#%s}}</strong></td>
<td>{{Fields of activities:field3}}</td>
</tr>

Regards,
Amir.

The best way to do this (to ensure good page layout) is as follows:
{{Fields of activities:field3#<tr><td width="200"><strong>Activities</strong></td><td>%s</td></tr>


This way you would get the label, HTML and field value controlled correctly with no blank table rows
