JEvents & JomSocial

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.

Amir.

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,

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

Amir.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Please remind me what your custom fields xml looks like?

Hi,

I would like to know:

1. How can I use tabs to display content in detail view?

Several Joomla tabbing content plugins will work and can be included in the customised layout.

2. How can I customize and add fields for Location plugin?

You can use the custom fields addon - create a new xml file and specify it in the location manager parameters.

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?

There are h & w config options in the plugin

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.

Use an instruction field type in the custom fieldds or put each set of fields on a separate tab on the editing page.

Hi,

I would like to know:

1. How can I use tabs to display content in detail view?

Several Joomla tabbing content plugins will work and can be included in the customised layout.

Specifically how can we use the one incorporated in Jevents?

Hello,

Download and install it from:

http://www.jevents.net/downloads/catego ... ts-modules

And create a new module JEvents Tabbed and configure it.

Many thanks
Tony

Hi,

I had earlier posted an inquiry as follows: [i:33s7bprq]I am getting the error 'The field (Select List) is required' even though I fill out 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.[/i:33s7bprq]

And, Geraint had asked about xml file, here it is in the attached file.

FYI, I may have changed field types while using the same field 'Name'. Also, I tried to look into Managed Location plugin, and there are NO options under Basic Options; is that correct?

Thanks,
Amir.

Hi again,

Regarding the tab feature used on Jevents, I am referring to the one seen on create/edit event page. Please see the attached file.

Regards,
Amir.

The problem is with field24 (Admissions) - what value have you selected? Also is this field allowed to be used in the category for this event?

finally do you have any javascript error messages?

Re. field24 (Admission)- I have tried different options (values) getting to same outcome. It is allowed to be used in the category Exhibition (322).

The new development is that now I am getting the message 'There is one or more required field not yet specified' even though all fields (required/and optional) have some kind of input.

There are no JavaScript errors that I can tell.

You can try it for yourself:

I removed the password and username from your post

I am on a mobile internet connection until Monday so debugging is tricky then.

What version of Jevents do you have?

Jevents 3.18
