Back to the show…

Really a preliminary release looking for testers and feedback at this point…

jmc_event_manager v 0.1.1 beta
Event Manager Plugin/Hack

• Requires addition to database (automatically installs, checks everytime, and fixes where necessary, though isn’t perfect yet)
• Event Listing
• Venue Listing to come…

All thoughts welcome…

Example Uses:

• UK Record Label Tru Thoughts – Upcoming Events
• UK Band Kaiser Chiefs – Gig Guide (also has past gigs with photos + videos )
• Niconemo has implemented it for important dates at rueraisin.org (off to the right under Agenda)
• From sthmtc we have it being used rather nicely at WeKnowRap on the right sidebar
• From fine art david we have a a heap of uses over the site Brand New Beat
• From maniqui simple implementation
• From the infamous pieman we have another hot Gig guide

<code><txp:jmc_events form=“form_name” /></code>

Required:

• form: form name – no default

Extras:

• limit: limit the number of events shown (jmc_events is recursive) – default infinite
• future: future events – default 1
• past: past events – default 0
• venue_id: limit to a certain venue – default none
• event_id: specific event – default none
• sort_by: just in case you wish to sort by an alternate arrangement (eg venue_id) – default id
• sort_order: asc(ending) or desc(ending) – default asc

Call to insert information within using the following:
<code><txp:jmc_event_name />
<txp:jmc_event_id />
<txp:jmc_event_price />
<txp:jmc_event_otherbands />
<txp:jmc_event_otherinfo />
<txp:jmc_venue_name />
<txp:jmc_venue_id />
<txp:jmc_venue_address1 />
<txp:jmc_venue_address2 />
<txp:jmc_venue_suburb />
<txp:jmc_venue_state />
<txp:jmc_venue_country />
<txp:jmc_venue_postcode />
<txp:jmc_venue_phone />
<txp:jmc_venue_url />
<txp:jmc_venue_email />
<txp:jmc_venue_otherinfo /></code>

Call to insert times using:
<code><txp:jmc_event_time php_date=“phpDateFunction” /></code>
Uses php date function string

Default start time, otherwise <code>start=“0”</code> should be added.

Inserting venue can either be done inline (as per above) OR in a separate form as shown below:
<code><txp:jmc_venue form=“venueForm” /></code>

I have include a function to test the existence of a variable:
<code><txp:jmc_if_variable variable=“variableName”>< /txp:jmc_if_variable></code>
This works ok, but update (to come shortly) will also have the reverse (check if a variable does not exist).

Example forms:
Events listing (called from jmc_events form=“formName”):
<code><li> <h3><txp:jmc_event_name /></h3> <ul> <li class=“venue”> <txp:jmc_venue form=“jmc_venue_form” /> </li> <li class=“date”><txp:jmc_event_time php_date=“l jS F” /></li> <li class=“time”><txp:jmc_event_time php_date=“H:i” /></li> <li class=“price”><txp:jmc_event_price /></li> <li class=“otherbands”><txp:jmc_event_otherbands /></li> <li class=“other”><txp:jmc_event_otherinfo /></li> </ul>
</li></code>

hCard stylings for the Venue
<code>
<div class=“vcard”> <a href=”<txp:jmc_venue_url />” class=“url org”><txp:jmc_venue_name /></a> <div class=“adr”> <div class=“street-address”><txp:jmc_venue_address1 /><br /><txp:jmc_venue_address2 /></div> <span class=“locality”><txp:jmc_venue_suburb /></span>, <span class=“region”><txp:jmc_venue_state /></span> <span class=“nation”><txp:jmc_venue_country /></span> <span class=“postal-code”><txp:jmc_venue_postcode /></span> </div> <div class=“tel”><txp:jmc_venue_phone /></div> <div class=“email”><a href=“mailto:<txp:jmc_venue_email />”><txp:jmc_venue_email /></a></div> <div class=“other-info”><txp:jmc_venue_otherinfo /></div>
</div></code>

jmc_if_variable function

<code><txp:jmc_if_variable variable=“variable_name”></txp:jmc_if_variable></code>

The following is a list of variables that can be used with the jmc_if_variable function:

EVENTS:
event_id
event_name
event_price
otherbands
event_otherinfo

VENUE:
venue_id
venue_name
address1
address2
suburb
state
country
postcode
phone
url
email
venue_otherinfo

edit x 3: event_otherinfo event_otherbands and venue_otherinfo utilise textile.

TO DO LIST

• Image for event + venue (backburnered)
• RSS Feed Option (need help people with this one – txp sends out headers!!!)
• Add functionality of searching by date/venue – added complexity, but added functionality

Easter Egg

For events (you should know what it’s useful for ;)):

<code><txp:jmc_even_odd /></code>
